day.

foot OF the steps. who wants
me?"
Il do" answered the voice, and,
for a moment Uncle Wiggily did
not know what to say. He could
not hear very plainly, down cellar
as he was, and it might be the
Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy Fox.
Uncle Wiggily sort of shiyered an
der his fur.
Come on up, Uncle Wiggily,"
went on the voice. IT'S Susie

"Oh! All right" answered the
bunny, and he felt much better.
What do you want, Susie?" he
asked.

girl.

TO start at the end instead of the
beginning. the final performance OF
the pageant will be the distribution
of gifts from the tree. One way for
the teacher to handle the giving is
to say that no gift should cost over
% cents Tor whatever amount the
children can affordJ and further. that
each child must hand in the names
of the ones to whom he or she is Civ
ing. In this way the teacher can
make sure that no child is left out
1t will be well to see that each child
receives at least two gifts. since one
of the givers might fail to bring in
his presents

tissue paper and a ball of red yarn.
Each child should be given sheet
of this paper and two yards of the
yarn to tie up his packages. Then
when the gifts are brought in they
will present uniform appearance
Red yarn is fully as attractive as

cheaper

Among the needlework gifts wom-
en- love to make for each other are
numbers of dainty trifies. For those
of more practical turn of mind gifts
of lasting qualities can be fashioned
These latter are especially exem-
plified in the quaint ''kitchenette"
aprons with caps to match. Sets can
be found all stamped on unbleached
muslin, ready to work, at some ofthe
stores. But where these are not
available, clever woman can make
her own designs with materials at
hand. One of the aprons had pockets
of "brown-eyed susans" The petals
were of yellow percale appliqued
about brown centers. On the cap
another susan" appeared. Still an
other had blue tea cups for pockets.
Another apron had flower pots of
blue and white checked bingham.
Above the pots, on the apron itself
self graw stitf little round flowers
apliqued with embroidered stems. On
eacah cap for each apron was match
ing design.
Among the dainty trifes to be
given each it's measure of handwork,
are colored handkerchiefs. How very,
very sweet they look, two of them,
each different color folded in lit
tie box. One for blow. one for
show" seems to be the motto, for a
plain one associates itself with a
very frilly one side by side
Most of the palmer ones, some
times colored, sometimes white, have
drawn threads Of colors for decora-
ton. Tiny embroidered flowers are
often added in fascinating groups.
Frilly "hankies" are new this season
being edged with net. Colored ones
are edged with white, and then again
with contrasting colors. Wee spots
of colered embroidery are added.
A pretty camisole fwide lace in
sertion and ribbon can be quickly
made. Wide pale pink ribbon forms

For those who enjoy doing drawn
work there are several varieties of
collars and cuffs, on which to bestow

pose of making very acceptable gifts.

Painted things are especially inter-
esting as gifts to make and have a
charm all their own. They can be
made to express so much of the Civ
er's individuality. Then again they
can be made to MT in with u definite
scheme for room, repeating its COL
or effects with pleasing touches in
similar tones.
A set of six colors in half pint cans
in enamels costs about two dollars.
Water color brushes will cost another
dollar. With this outfit, variety OF
things can be painted, for that amount
of paint will last q long time.
Care of brushes must be considered.
Each time they are used they must
be washed in soap and water. Tur-
pentine is good for cleaning them but
it is not enough, since in time it will
. stiffen the bristles. Never allow paint
to dry in your brushes.
The thought of creating designs
may rather brighten the beginner. 1t
need not, if he will only remember
not to attempt too much at the start.
Avoid a naturalistic flower. A flower
form made of round dots from the
end of the brush will be found to be
very pretty and very effective and
quite easy to do. A few experiments
on paper will give you proficiency
There is a dainty jewel-like quality
to the dots that admits of endless va
riations.
Glass candlesticks that may be pur-
chased in the twenty-five and fifty
cent store, can be delightfully."- dec
Grated in this manner. Coat hangers
of wood painted all over pink or blue
can be treated the same way A
pair Of aluminium saltcellars will take
on beauty by means of decoration.
Other things will come to mind, such
as boxes and wooden bowls, wooden
knives and forks for salar sets, once
one starts to look for them.
Another use for painting is found
in decorating set of oil cloth table
mats. For this purpose use the dull
finish oil cloth, called sanitas. Blue
and white has been used many times
and oft, but it has a clean fresh look
that is very attractive. If your friend
has pattern hanging in her dining
room, with help of some one in the
family get sample of it, Then trace
the pattern and carefully match the
colors, to use for decoration OF the
table mats. When your friend discov.
ers that the set matches her landings
she will be doubly pleased with your
thoughtful gift.
