, Dress Up Modest Christmas Gifts

By KAY SHERWOOD NEA Staff Writer . WANT to know how to make a modest Christmas gift look like a lot? Buy inexpensive glass or ceramic articles and decorate them yourself with new paints compounded especially for that purpose, Decorative gifts such as tile place-mats, teapots, vases, plates, are uch fun to make as they are receive, . By using a kit which contains five colors you can mix and blend the various basic shades to create any number of color effects. For designs to paint, study those used for expensive hand-painted articles; copy bold patterns clipped from magazine or newspaper illustrations; or let your imagination be your guide. Dots, stripes or simple flower motifs such as are found in early Americana or Mexican folk art are easy to duplicate and make effective designs. o s » TO paint a glass or transparent plastic, all you need to do is to trace the pattern on paper. Hold or tape the design in place on the back of the surface transparent which is to be painted. This will give you a clearly visible outline to follow. Designs may be transferred to nontransparent ‘ceramic articles by using carbon paper or cut-out stencils. Tape the stencil in place while you do the brush-work. Novel gifts calculated to please a hostess are tile place-mats. Four small white tiles decorated with a simple early American motif may be pushed together to make a place-mat which is smart and poses no laundry problems. The lucky recipient can change her table settings by simply rearranging her tiles. : An inexpensive earthenware teapot will make a showier gift if it is spruced up with painted

lon Tuesday afternoons she asked The !me what changes I would rec-

ommend in the bidding methods she had been -isiny in party bridge. One of the things I told her was to open the bidding a little lighter than she had been used to doing. This advice is based on the fact that partial scores are of considerable importance at rubber bridge, whereas they are almost worthless at party bridge. In her first rubber bridge session Mrs. Keen held the East hand in the deal shown above. West, her partner, passed and so did North. Now at party bridge the East hand too should have been passed as the, chance for making game with a passing] partner is very slight. | But, remembering my advice, Mrs. Keen opened the bidding with one spade. South passed and West raised to two-spades. North had some values but couldn't see coming in at the three range since as far as she knew East| might have a really big hand. But East quite properly passed also and two spades become the contract. 2 ” ” { YOU WILL notice it is a pretty | ithin contract and required care-| {ful play and a bit of luck to fulfill. South led the king of diamonds which North overtook to lead back the ten. South won the third trick and continued dia-| monds. Mrs. Keen trumped the| fourth round and led a trump. South won with the ace and came out with a heart. East] extracted the last outstanding trumps and then did not make the| mistake of starting clubs. Instead she led her last heart,| stripping the remaining red cards from her hand and dummy. North won this trick and had nothing left but hearts and clubs. If he led a heart declarer would trump) in dummy while throwing a small]

And that. is because Folger’s is a special kind of coffee; a combination of rare Mountain Grown coffees selected for completeness and depth of flavor, unmistakably different and delightful. If you have a coffee loving man at your house, won’t you try pampering him with Folger’s—It’s marvelous what a difference it can make in your everyday happiness!

There never was and there never will be a child who has too many dolls. The playthings shown today are fun to make and will keep youngsters amused for hours on end. Freckles, the upside-down doll, has two faces, two caps, two skirts . . . all on one body, which is joined at the waist. Stocking toys have always been favorites in the world of make-believe and this gay Mammy doll is no exception. Measuring 14 inches tall, she is dressed in a flowered cotton blouse and patch-trimmed skirt. The white panties, petticoat, apron, kerchief and say red bandana can all be made of left-over materials, The body requires only one large-size, man’s sock, which is stuffed with soft cotton. Simple embroidery stitches make her beaming countenance. To order material require-

This Is Top Drawer Stuff

By ELIZABETH HILLYER

DON'T toss out that old drawer chest before you give it another long calculating look. The drawers -may still be in pretty good shape although the wood finish looks curdled and the whole frame has a Tower of Pisa lean. The small top drawers \are just the right size to make dandy toy wagons—and chances are the lower drawers aren't too deep to make underslung toy boxes on wheels that can be rolled out of sight under, the bed. Lots of paint and bright paint, inside and out, is the first step in the drawer reclaiming project, then plenty of decals or hand decoration. » » »

THE more gay design flourishes:

the less the original drawer out lines show. wheels to the drawers and the rest is easy. ' All you need is lengths of heavy

cord—and for the littlest ones it

should be soft cord, not rope. Make new holes for #t or en-

Selfishness Is Natural

| GENEROSITY RARELY is {listed among the admirable traits |of a two-year-old. As a matter of fact, Junior isn’t anxious to share anything and is likely to poke the youngster who wants to I play with his new toy. If he does | give it up, you can probably chalk iit up more to bewilderment than

| generosity. | Parents are cautioned not to be perturbed over this seeming dis{play of selfishness. A. C. Gilbert, | the toy tycoon who also is a graduate medical doctor, points out that at two years of age your | child is just learning to get along with other children. He is much |too young to be concerned over |the feelings of his playmates.

Inevitably, he'll get his “come uppance” from some jolder child and learn from practical experience to respect the | property of others. | Some mothers and dads are |alarmed that Junior's approach | to the toy situation may indicate 'he has bullying tendencies.
