The box filled stationery delightful Christmas gift.

For those who are in a quandry as
to what to give some friends who surely
must be remembered, and yet without
much cost, the Christmas gift sugges-
tons offered today may prove helpful.
They are all what may be termed "iast-
minute" gifts, in that they can be made
In q very short time. Some Of the gifts
are trifleS, some are not, some are for
adults, some for children. None of
them Is expensive. They are not
stressed for their novelty, but for their
beauty, utility or daintiness, coupled
with the speed with which the gifts can
be prepared in quantity or singly.
Fancy paper can be bought from a
few cents a sheet to higher sums. AS
each sheet will help to ornament a
number of articles, even the ones that
are not cheap will not be found costly
after such subdivisions. Those who
have saved the fancy Innings for en-
velopes can make them do duty now.
Cover old or new candy boxes with
fancy paper cut to fit top and sides.
Cut pieces of cardboard to fit the bot
tom of each box. A day or two before
Christmas make candies from the reci-
pes given tomorrow. Fill the bottom of
the box. Use the cardboard to put over
this lower layer Of candy. Arrange an
other layer Of the sweets on this card
board. Cover with parafine paper. Put
on the lid and tie up with plain or
fancy ribbon or tape. n

Furs and Fabrics i'm Goats
BY MARY MARSHALL.

sun of fashion for themselves because
they do not pretend to be real fur. They
stand on their own merits, which are
numerous, and for the young girl Of
IL or Whereabouts many mothers would
consider a coat Of one of these fur fab
RIGS in better taste than a real fur coat.
One advantage for general wear that
such coats have is that while they are
warm and wind resisting they are not
quite so heating as a coat Of raccoon
or other substantial fur and are there
fore more suitable for everyday require
mentS of the active young person.
There are lovely pile fabrics that
closely initiate the soft peltS of baby
lamb or broadtail, and theSe-and ma
terials of this sort-without making any
pretensions of actually being baby lamb
or broadtail, have been accepted as
correct by fashion critics this season.
There is no longer the prejudice that
there once was against limitations
either in furs or in jewelry: and many
women who might well afford to wear
rhinestones or white crystals, and wom-
en- who have coats of the finest furs are
willing to wear these lovely fur fabrics,
which the important French dress
makers have marked with their ap-
proval.
One of the best ways to make use
of these fur fabrics is in making one of
the new muffs. This weeks diagram
pattern shows how to cut out and make
a muff of this sort and if you would like
a copy 1t will be sent to you on receipt
of your stamped, self addressed envelope

LIGHT MY WAY
Trace Your Course
By REV. JOHN n. GUM.

@A0NV 4OAA OOO4oNo
"See that We walk circumspectly, not
as fools, but as wise. "-Eph., Wis.
The wise are careful; fools are care
less.
The wise diagnose q case; fools take
things for granted.
The wise keep a good lookout: fools
make shipwreck Of themselves by their
raShnesS.
The wise see evil and avoid It: fools
shut their eyes to evil and walk into it.
All this is comprehended in the text.
The word "circumspectly," defined from
its Greek derivation, means exactly, ac-
curately, carefully. Fools exercise no
care as to how they walk. but the
greatest Of care Is exercised by the
wise.
Be not as folls, says Paul, but be as
the wise. Look how exactly you walk.
See that you walk with care.
In another Scripture text, as the
Revised Version has it, the word "cir-
cumspectly" is rendered, Traced the
course of all things accurately" This
is the way of the wise. They trace
their course They know where they
are going. They do not rfcSe indis-
creetly or blindly. Any course they
pursue has been well traced and marked
out
Not so Of fools. They 60 their way,
blind and needless. They take any
course that looks inviting, without re-
gard to conscience or consequences.
Reason makes no appeal to them. The
only appeal they heed is that of their
own desires and inclinationS. They
never stop to consider causes and
effects. 1t requires no prophet to fore
see the results.
We see all around us living illustra-
tons of this contrast between the foolish
and the wise. If one has any concern
for his moral safety he will not fail to
heed these illustrations. He will look
we'll to his walk and trace his cnIlrse

Out of the maze of humiliating de-
feats attending the last efforts Of the
Jacobites to overthrow the Hanoverian
dynasty and put James Edward Stuart
on the throne Of England stands the
heroic victory of Winifred, Countess of
Nithsdale. Her husband, the Earl of
Nithsdale, was one of seven noble con-
spirators confined in the Tower Of Lon
don to await beheading.
The countess feared no one. Though
forbidden the palace of George I, she
made her way into 1t, knelt before
George and offered him a petition for
| the earls pardon.
George didn't want the petition. He
tried to walk right over the countess.
Lady Winifred laid hold on the skirts
petition into his pocket. He dragged
her clear across the room on her knees
before attendants grabbed her and her
petition and threw her out.
Lord Nithsdale was to be executed
on February "a, 1718. Late on the
afternoon Of February % Lady Niths-
dale appeared at the tower as II to bid
her husband good-by. With her came
large, stout lady, Mrs. Mills, who
was about as big as Lord NithSdale; a
tall, skinny lady named Mrs. Morgan,
who was able to wear under her riding
dress complete duplicate Of the cloth
ing of Mrs. Mills; and finally Lady
Nithsdale's own personal maid, named
Evans, who carried a bundle. This
bundle was supposed to contain gown
which her mistress would wear in going
to the King that evening with another
petition for the earl'S release.
The next day, when the soldiers came
to get Lord Nithsdale and remove his
head, he wasn't to be found. Neither
was his countesS--nor Mrs. Mills, nor
Mrs. Morgan nor Evans, the maid.
Lord Nithsdale had been Smuggled
out of the tower and had fled to France.
The others had hid until the storm blew
over.
Here is how the countess thwarted
George I by taking advantage OF rule
which was supposed to safeguard the
prisoners in the tower-namely, that
visitors could only be accompanied by
one friend at a time.
First she took up to the earl's quar-
tiers her friend, Mrs. Morgan. The lady
quickly departed, leaving behind the
clothing concealed on her.
Lady Nithsdale went part way down
stairs with her, and on parting said
loudly, so every one could hear:
send I'D Evans, now, with the dress
in which I will present the petition"
AS soon as Mrs. Morgan was down,
Mrs. Mills came up. She appeared 10

One Mother Says:
In early Winter the orange Is not
only pithy and somewhat juiceless, but
also very expensive, yet there is never
a season when the children can do
without fruit Juice. This is especially
so in the case of very young children
and becomes quite a problem when
there are several children in a family.
My physician advised me to try canned
tomato Juice as q substitute and as
sures me that 1t is quite as good. The
children like it for change and 1t Is
much cheaper than citrus fruits at
some seasons.

down, her face was uncovered. She did

Lady Nithsdale hurriedly dressed the
earl in the clothes left by Mrs. Morgan.
Then she escorted him downstairs. His
face was covered with Mrs. Mills hand

AS they passed the guards Lady

she told the fictitious Mrs. Mills. II

With the earl safely outside the
tower she reascended to his room. For

Finally she left. Evans has not come"
she said. IT must go and find out the

She made a neat getaway, smiling to

Enemies of Rum SmugglerS
to Sharpen Shooting Eyes
This Winter.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, November
26.-It looks like a long. hard Winter
for the rum fleet which operates in
Florida waters.
The recent raid along the New Jer-
sew coast, by which rum trade said to
have netted $4,000 in six months
was smashed, marked what probably
was the last major operation in the
North this year. Liquor running isn't
so successful In cold weather.
The battle against bootleggers now
shifts to the balmy South.
Immediately following the New Jersey
campaign, 1t was indicated in WASH
ington that most Of the available Fed
eral forces would be concentrated in this
general vicinity.
Gunnery Practice Planned.
And now, to add to the woes of rum
ners working from the Bahamas and
other wet points in Atlantic and Gulf
waters, it has been announced that
Uncle Sans Coast Guard destroyers
which war on liquor and alien SNUG
glars along the Atlantic seaboard will be
at home off ST. petersburg from jan
uary until we'll along In April for Win
ter gunnery practice.
Twenty-four boats will have had a
fling at floating targets in the Gull OF
Mexico and 1000 men will have sharp
ened their shooting eyes at land targets
by the time the show Is over.
For the small arms practice the finest
Coast Guard target range in the United
States is being completed at Egmont
Key, a few miles from st. Petersburg
The floating targets for guns of the
destroyers will be towed to Gulf wa
tiers out of the channels of commercial
vessels by the Saukee, which has a
crew of 80 men.
The destroyers will come from bases
as far north as Boston in divisions of
six Each division will spend Is or 20
days here.
Order Of Arrival.
Division will be the first to take a
hand at pummeling the targets. In this
group, arriving January S, will be the
deStroyers Conyngham, wainwright,
Paulding, Burrows, Jouett and Beale.
Destroyers of Division /, from New
London, Conn, will be second, arriving
February 6. The boats are the Shaw,
Tucker. Davis, Downes, Ericsson and
Cummings.
Division destroyers, arriving March
Is. are the MacDougal, Porter, Patter-
