Select, Make Thoughtful Gifts
That Will Be Used, Enjoyed
by &,tta Makx

FVERYONE'S mysteriously busy
and happy. Everywhere there's
a sign of the Christmas spirit-in
the early bit of holly on the front
door, in that extra branch of pine
on the front lawn, in the house
ablaze with lights and full Of
laughter and long consultations on
Christmas presents.
It's a job, this business of gift
giving, but none of us would do
without it because it's such joyous
work. But pause and think little
before deciding on gift. Does the
chosen present fit into the scheme
of life of the receiver? Will it be
of use? A thing of enjoyment?
Something to be priced or shown
off with pride when presents are
unwrapped?
These are the things to consider,
then to make the choice, and even
perhaps to make the gift.
An inexpensive apron sewn with
loving care may be more priced
than jewel which does not fit the
wearer. A thoughtfully chosen lin
gerie set may be more priced than
gloves or slip that don't fit the
wearer. A rag doll may be more
precious to a child than a fancy
doll she must handle carefully to
prevent breakage.
It's just amazing how many
things can be made at home, and
made more quickly than even
shopping for them in the Christmas
rush. If some spots on your gift list
are empty, then check over these
ideas I'm giving to see if they won't
fit some names on the list. You
may be able to make something
nicer than you could buy.
Presents for Home
Are Appreciated
Any woman who has kept house
for any length of time knows how
cheerful thoughtful present can
make her home. If the present is

awake all might

yesterday about Mammals interests
and Mammals friends has kept me
awake one whole night.
1t will keep me awake a lot more
if I don't settle the matter. Can a
woman cheat and get away with it
these days, and what are the men
doing about it,"
Unfortunately, Van, I say in an
swer, a woman in Doreens posi-
ton can cheat easily. And if you
change your job and attempt to
keep too close watch on her, if
she actually is cheating, she will
break away.
Honor isn't affected by a mans
absences, nor a woman's oppor-
tunities to be untrue. Honor is
matter of her mind and her soul,
of what she was taught and trained
to do as child, of character and
background and of that innate fine
ness that comes naturally to a
woman whose home influences have
been sound
Training Is Key
If Doreen hasn't had the ad-
vantages of a good mother and
father and sound training in de-
cency and honesty, nothing that
you can do will cure her. And
there's where the vital, the tragic
Importance of giving children a
good start comes in.
Raising small children, cooking
and housekeeping, watching the
family health and planning the
family meals can seem but dull
task to an ambitious, pleasure
loving, vital woman, but it is a
more essential one than any that
a scientific genius ever enjoyed.
The service a good mother and
father do for their town, for the
nation and for civilization general
ly is beyond all words. Every child
that grows to maturity with nor
NAL healthy mind and body, with
a sense of duty, willingness to
serve rather than be served, to
work for a plan rather than wait
for the realization of a fairy-tale,
to be unselfsh, to be interested in
the affairs of others, to be self
reliant and to develop a sense of
humor is fortunate throughout his
whole life.
And to the mother who breaks up
her home, scatters her children, re-
gales her friends with complaints
of the childrens father and to that
mother who, like Doreen, cheats
while Van is away and collects gifts
from this lover and that, while
laughing at the man she promised
to honor, can say only that you
are laying careful foundation for
the ruin of your own lives and MAX
ing certain the unhappiness of
your children's lives.

small bit of the nap between your
fingers. If the nap pulls out easily
you may know the surface is over

the most warmth, the nap should
be thick and firm. Winterweight
blankets vary from three to five
pounds; but weight doesn't neces-
sarily indicate warmth or quality,

Ambitious Andrew

Andrew Carnegie, when he was
ID, worked on three jobs at once

Origin Of Percheron

After the battle of Tours, in
which Charles Martel defeated the
Saracens in 1872, many Saracen
horses were taken as spoils of war.
On the pastures of northern France,
particularly in the old district of
La Perche, these fine animals were
crossed with the mares of Brittany.
Hence the origin of the Percheron.

pretty by using transfer patterns
and then embroidering in gay
colors.
If you have some old pieces of
checked, plaid or bright plain ma
terial, you might edge the towels
In these to make them look very
special.
The same tricks, both transfers
and decorative edgings, can be used
on bridge and napkin sets. No one
ever has enough of these and home
makers do appreciate them.
Turkish towels can be mono-
grammed at home if you are skill
ful and these, too, make excellent
gifts. If you're ambitious, give a
whole set OF them.
Hand towels, too, can be made
easily. Crochet dainty edging of
lace on them, or sprinkle flowers
on one edge of them.
Hand towels need not be white so
you can use solid colored cottons
of fine weave for them. Linen
towels are more expensive, but
they do make a luxurious gift.
Place mats are another lovely
gift for the home, and are FREQUENT
ly made from remnants of mate
Iiai.
Personal Gifts May Be
Simple or Elaborate
Handkerchief and lingerie are
hardly ever missing from some
woman's gift list, so you can always
choose these items for her. Now
that cotton lingerie is so much in
the picture, the home seamstress
easily can make some half or whole
slips for her friends.
Slips themselves may be simply
tailored or lace encrusted, depend
ing upon how the particular woman
likes her lingerie. Either will be
quite simple to make from your
own or purchased patterns.
The main things to remember are
to buy closely woven, washable
material and to construct the gar
ment well: Lace that starts leaving
the slip after a washing or two
brings with it too many mending
problems so it's best to make GER
tain it's attached well. Basic first
and then sew securely by hand or
use fine machine stitching.
If you plan to give handkerchiefs,
you may want to monogram them
at home. If you buy them, make
the gift something special by put
ting in some lovely little sachet
bags with them. The sachets can
be purchased inexpensively and be
covered with brilliant or pastel
satin or crepe cut into heart or
flower shapes.
Gifts for Small Fry
Are Fun to Make
Have you ever made a sweet
pinafore for little girl? A pair of
neatly tailored over-alls for
young man? A pair of knitted
bottles or shawl for a new baby?
You have real treat coming if
you try them now to give in time
for Christmas.
Even though the item is simple
and takes only two hours to put to-
gether, the mothers will appre-
ciate new article of clothing for
their youngsters.
You'll enjoy making soft, downy
bottles and. tying them with huge
pom poms of the same yarn. You'll
like the feel of plastics for making
little aprons for girls, bibs for the
boys.
