about a Christmas gift made at

to the recipient. The message of love
or friendship seems so much more per-
sonal in the handmade gift, and we
love to think that each stitch was taken
by the donor, just for us. The IN
trinsic value Of the article may or may
not amount to little or nothing, yet II
often outvalues q far more expensive

tin bags will tax little time and pa
