Pack With Care.
These cards must be carefully tied
together when sent in sets, so that the
decorations do not overlap. Pack in a
box with crushed tissue paper or tis-
sue packing paper if sent by post.
Amy Of these cards can be used as
Christmas cards, as well as in sets for
tally or place card presents. They will
be sure to make best sellers at bazaars
and should command good prices.
Picturesque Firewood.
Do any of the people have open
fires? If so, here is an idea. Gather
great baskets of pine cones. Make a
big bag of bright red mosquito netting
or Of the cheapest sheer material that
you can find or that you happen to
have in the house. Fill the bag with
the cones. Tie up the end with a
drawstring and attach a regular tag
or any one of the many Christmas
card tags, writing on it some appro-
pirate line Of greeting. This is a
unique gift to send the person for
whom it Is difficult to get the right
thing because of few ungratif1ed

who is fond Of an open fire would en-.

Improving the Circulation.

Sallow complexion. cold hands and
feet, red noses and many other beauty
problems cannot be successfully
treated unless exercises are taken TO
stimulate the circulation. Persons
who avoid every sort of physical ac-
tivity possible, who ride when they
might just as well walk a few squares,
who always take an elevator instead
Of walking up a fight Of stairs in a
store or public building. who have no
time for outdoor sports or daily set
ting.up exercises-these are the ones
who expect the beauty specialist to
provide them with magic lotion that
Will erase from their faces and bodies
telltale effect OF their unhygienic
living.
The time win soon come, believe,
when Intelligent persons will be as
much ashamed Of having flabby, weak
physiques as they now are Of having
shabby clothes and unkempt hair.
Although nothing can take the place
Of exercise out of doors in the fresh
air and sunshine. indoor exercises
should not be neglected. They pro-
vide q beauty treatment that any
girl or woman may have free in ex-
change for a few minutes time. Ten
or Is minutes both night and morn
ing Is not a heavy price to pay for a
good circulation when you realize that
it will help you materially in gaining
a clear. rosy skin, good figure and
a healthy head of hair.
Here are q few exercises that may
be included in the daily program.
Exercise 1.
Hands on hips, feet together. Slide
left foot sideways on the ball of the
foot, slightly bending both knees.
Bring right foot up to left immedi-
ately, straighten knees and rise on
toes. Repeat the slide to the left at
once so that the movement of the
feet gives the effect of the right foot
chasing the left. Do the step in fast
