GIFTS PREPARED AT HOME

Homemade cakes, cookies, dough-
nuts, jams, jellies and, in fact, any
dainty for which the housewife is
particularly noted, may well be US
ed as gifts at the Christmas Season.
How much more acceptable to the
city cousin is a package of spicy
cookies, fruit cake, a box of home
made candy or even a basket of
shiny apples, all reminiscent of days
on the farm, than any other gift
that the country cousin could offer.
The idea of the attractive packag-
ing and wrapping of these products
of the kitchen should receive some
thought and the donor will find
that her gift gains added value by
appearing in a novel and colorful
guise.
Cookies may be placed carefully
in boxes and then the whole pack
age wrapped in paper, colored or
white, and tied with colored cord or
ribbon. The use of transparent Gel
lophane, the new wrapping material
which is seen on most of the boxes
of high grade candy today, offers
another wrap for the dainties. I'M
agine how appealing a dozen or SO
cookies would look through wrap
per of this material, which would
reveal them perfectly. Tying the
package with red, green or printed
ribbon and inserting a bit of holly
through the knot will give it sea-
sonable touch. Fruit cakes may be
given the same treatment and, if a
more elaborate package is desired,
the same material of transparent
wrapping in red or green may be

used. This wrapper serves two pur-
poses in the wrapping of food, as it
preserves the food in good condi-
ton, is grease and odor-proof, as
we'll as affording a package with
real beauty.
An over-wrap for jars of jam and
jelly gives them a sparkling and
festive touch. Unusual and attrac-
tive is a squatty jar of orange mar
malade placed in the center of a
sheet of Cellophane and the mater
ial drawn up around it and tied with
a perky bow of gold gauze, making a
torpedo-shaped package. Home
made candy may be wrapped in this
torpedo type of unit in colored
wrapping, and several of these, in
harmonizing colors, placed in box,
thus giving the recipient a variety
of homemade CONNECTIONS in a nov
ell container.
Apples, polished. to a brilliancy,
nuts gathered in the fall and care
fully dried, or even winter vege-
tables, specially prepared and clean
ed. may become real holiday sug-
gestions for the busy farmers wife
as will jar or so Of her preserves
from her cellar. Packaging of these
offerings will place them beyond
the pale of ordinary gifts.
Once this idea of using home re-
sources for gifts by presenting them
in a holiday guise is inaugurated, II
will be surprising to find the num-
ber of thoughts that each member
of the household will have, both as
to the gifts themselves and to the
wrapping Of them.

SUMMER BACHELORS"
 AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

It's a strange coincidence that in the Fox Film Summer Bache- lors," coming to the Coliseum Sunday and Monday, Madge Bell amy should be playing the role Of Derry Thomas, the girl who is afraid of marriage.
 In the Fabian story, Derry says, "I don't want to love anyone like that. It's too devas- tating."
 And, in Hollywood, Madge says in effect, the same thing to host of suitors, who are constantly storming her citadel, in earnes; proof of the contention that gen tlemen prefer blondes.
 Madge, with her golden hail and expressive brown eyes. is un. doubtedly one of the most beauti full young women on the screen and, to date, she probably is the only one who has not at least Oh ? engagement rumor to her credit
 Its because Pm not an adven turer," she explains, "and because I've never shaken off the i'd I that marriage Is an adventure Of courge, I know that, to mos. girls, 1t means something entire i ly different.

PARIS" IS NOW
 SHOWING PALACE

Although French was the pre- vailing language during the pro duction of Paris" Edmund 0oulding's new Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer production now playing at the Palace Theatre, the principals didn't speak the gallic language. Almost every extra in the Apache cafe scenes was French, while Charles Ray and Joan Crawford played the principal roles, with Douglas Gilmore as the second male lead. Mime. Rose Dione, of course, is French.
 The new picture is a vivid drama of the Paris underworld, in which Ray as an American tourist Is enmeshed in strange plot. Joan Crawford plays a French Apache dancing girl and Gilmore her lover, czar of the Paris underworld.
