Dear Aunt Julia: l have just finished
reading the letter You wrote in The Journal
that the girls could write about something
that would be nice to give to a girl friend
for a Christmas gift. 1 think that dust
cap would be nice present. The way you
can make one Is to get about one yard of
hair ribbon, any color you want and crochet
top to the cap; you can make it any
design you wish for the crown, but make
it large enough After you have made the
crown for the cap you sew the ribbon to-
gether and gather it around the top until
you get it as small as you want it to be.
Then you fix the bottom of the cap to run
the elastic through: it will be about an
inch or two from the bottom. Then when
you have put your elastic in the cap you
get some dainty lace mot too large) and
put it at the bottom Of the cap. And if
of ribbon that is the color of your cap,
and put it on the side or anywhere you
want to put it. Yours sincerely,
VIRGINIA HICKS.
Hello Aunt Julia and Cousins. This
bright beautiful morning l will write about
the things that can be made inexpensive
ly. Take small pieces of cambria that
are left over from other garments and
make handkerchiefs. aprons, underwear,
ed. Make dainty embroidery aprons, the
sort with three deep pockets across the
front, also a subscription to some good
magazine, or get up subscriptions to some
them for gifts. Get a ten-cent basket
and get cretonne; put at the top of the
basket, gather and have ribbon stream
ers; use for a sewing basket. Take small
pieces of silk or velvet and make pin
cushions, odd ends of ribbon and lace
can be used if we can't give great things
give small ones, and be like the woman
had never yet been so poor that she
couldn't give something. Times are hard
and many a little stocking may be al
over things, but love brightens the dark
est day and the parents can put them
selves into the day and compensate for

Dear Aunt Julia: How are you today?
Tnct hnno mo
and thinking CT Xmas. | hope all the
cousins are thinking of it in the way that
the Lord would have them think of it.
If a Xmas gift is not neatly fixed up
it is not very attractive, so my idea about
making them attractive is to purchase
boxes, salso nice paper and seals and wrap
them neatly, tie them with some pretty
Xmas cord or ribbon and put the seals
on them correctly. This will greatly add
to the appearance of the package.
1t is also very inexpensive. AS ever, low
ingly.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins and
Friends: How are you all this cold wealth
err? I'm fine myself.
What are you all expecting to do for
Xmas? Oh, I'm planning on having good
time Hope this will be one of the great
est Xmases that has ever yet been. I'm
preparing for Christmas presents, making
handkerchiefs for girls with a bit of GRO
cheting around the edges. and for boys
I'm .crocheting sleeve holders of assorted
colors with ribbon to match and several
tie holders. In making these you have to
have round hoops. Put a yard of each
three colors of ribbon for hanging u of
yard. All of these are inexpensive pres
ents and pretty also. I'll not describe my
self this time. Ny age Is 16: l would ike
so correspond with some of you cousins
near my age. Auntie, 1 think it is grand
for you to adopt an orphan child. In
closed you will find a dime for her. with
love and best wishes p TO ali Sl R6GERs

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Christ
mas is nearly here and the turkeys get
ting fat Gee but don't that sound good.
How many of you cousins make your
own Christmas gifts? I do and would like
to give a hint or two to how much
spend on them. Now, please don't tell any
one for they might not want SO cheap
q present.
A nice present of tatting or crochet is
fine for an older person. 1 mean young
lady. A yoke can easily be made for thirty
cents and about twenty cents extra tor a
nice little ribbon to run through 1t. A
little reed basket is nice for the school
girl like me. They are so handy for sew
ing and little things. Now, maybe grand
ma wants a present. They most always
do How about a warm knitted shawl OF
crocheted bedroom slippers? Boys like tie
hangers, coat hanger or laundry or coilar
bags. Mother and daddy would appreciate
a bag for their bedroom slippers or may
be mother wants a sewing bag and DADDY
a huntin bag. These are few thlngs
/ make this year and hope they Will De
