tTMEKE Is often more of the

1 real Christmas spirit that All k wlafl M

about and rarely come upon la the gift .of a ' hem stitched Dockstrhaodkerchle f

than la that of a cut class berry bowL Who hat not felt a teary sort of warmth about tho cockles of one's heart when the removal of dainty wrappings discloses a little gift, no matter how simple, that haa been Jastdoned by the lorlng Angers of a friesir One pictures her sitting In the glow of the lamplight, perhaps, amhroldermr kindly thoughts Into the

bit of work she holds la her hands.

One knows she has siren many bib

lutes of her busy life, which Is like a

Sift of gold la these days of stress

and hurry. I Thm viae woman will have turned to

laccount the summer afternoons on the

plana and the results of her "pick-up" work will eroTlde many simple little

gifts. The woman whose pooketbook .will not meet the demands of her gen leroslty should bo able to contrlre many charming remembrances If she ils willing to give a little time and util

ise materials she may nave at nana.

if on embroiders well there is no

Una to the useful gifts that may be mada from a yard or so of linen. There are the linen napkin rings, which mar be made for each member

'of the family If one wishes. These

are mad of fine linen waicn snouia be folded double la a band about three

inches wide, and long anougn to en

circle the napkin. On one end Is the fcuttm and on the other, which Is cut

la a point. Is the buttonhole. . When these are embroidered with a mono

gram or a sorer of flowers, starcnec

stiff and buttoned over a dainty card

they make a most aocepUPla gut.

An embroidered candle s h a 6 9 '

mounted on a wiro frame, wfclcfc has been covered with thin silk the color of the boudoir for which It Is Intended, would be appreciated by the woman who has the "washable hobby.

An attractive tray may be made by

having an embroidered centerpiece

framed la a plain wood frame. The back should be covered with felt, and brass handles may be added to the frame If wished.

From linen crash may be made a

neat covering for the contents of a suit-case, either bound about the edges with braid or finished with scal

lop embroidery and having a mono

gram In one corner. Then there Is an

infinite variety of bags which may be made from linen or crash or cretonne, from the delicately embroidered, lacetrimmed corset bag to the sturdy kitchen bsg for string, or dust cloths, or clothespins. A most Inexpensive gift Is crochet buttons. These may be all the same else or la assorted slses. The wooden molds ara first covered with white linen over cotton cloth, and then the crochet circle of the proper sue fitted over them. They should be caught on to a dark green card which might have a Christmas greeting painted oa la fancy lettering. The jabot win he an appreciated

gift again this season as its popularity

has not seemed to wane la the least These are most acceptable la any

form, either having the tailored effect of hemstitching and tucks, primly

scalloped edges and tiny buttons, or

the fluffy, frilly charm of fine laces

and dainty embroideries.

The baffling "man problem'" may.

be solved by the useful shirt bag which will be a Joy forever to the man who travels. This Is made of Unen

crash, or any similar material, cut like a great envelope which should be

large enough to contain four to six

shirts as they are folded. . The flap of

tue bag may be cut to a point or have rounded corners and should button over. The bag may be bound with

erald or worked with a buttonhole

stitch about the edge, and have a monogram in the corner.

The woman who likes to knit will enjoy making knitted reins for some child. These are made so as to slip

over the neck df the child like a har

ness and If trimmed with numerous little bells will be a great delight They may also be made from ribbon. The ribbon hoops for the baby, also with their tiny tinkling bells, may,

quite as well, be covered with bright

knitted yarn. Another gift for the baby Is a chamois ball. This Is made from pieces of chamois cut about the

size and shape of the sections of an

orange and crocheted together after

the edges have been buttonholed

When this is stuffed with cotton It

makes a soft, pretty ball. Another gift for his small highness which bis mother will also appreciate and hie father wm borrow when he

has the toothache. Is the tiny hot water bag which has been covered with a crocheted bag or one-made of

soft flannel. thoughtful little gift for the work bag Is the scissors protector. Cover a cork with crochet of colored eilk and crochet a chala by which It may be attached to the work bag. Then when the scissors ara not la use the point may be stack Into the cork. Instead of boring holes In the contents of the bag as they have a way of doing. It one Is anything of an artlrt, Christmas shopping Is robbed of Its

terrors, for the things that may be

made from hand-tlated silks or hand

decorated paper are legion. There are

the delightful Empire shades for the bedroom lamp, and the smaller shades

for the candle or electric drop-light For the lamp shade one can get the

wire frame very cheaply. It Is best to

fit a pattern to it carefully before cuttins Into the water-color paper which is to be used for the shade. The shade Itself can then be cut all In one piece. The edges may ? be finished with passepartout tape and the decorations should consist of medallions of paper in two contrasting shades, one shore the other, with a silhouette, if possible, In the center, or a group of small figures cut from some old print About the medallions should be painted delicate sprays of leaves, or if one is not able to paint wreaths may be cut from wall papers of appropriate design. More expensive and elaborate shades hsre thin silk shirred over the frames with a finish at the top and bottom of ' tiny rosea made from ribbon. Another Idea for the bedroom gift Is the colonial pincushion. Buy one of the inexpensive glass candlesticks in colonial design. Cut a small square of cardboard, perhaps about four Inches square, and cover one side neatly with cretonne. Form a mound-like cushion of cotton on the other side and cover with the cretonne. Then fasten the cushion on top of the candlestick by fine wires or thread and sew around

the edges of the cushion about a twoinch fringe of white beads. Ton will have a most quaint unique cushion.

Sets of heavy white envelopes in the

corner or wnicn have been painted sprays or wreaths of blossoms may contain all sorts of "helps around the house" such as rubber bands, labels

for fruit jars or medicines, choice

recipes, and also sachet powders, and

a dozen or so dinner cards all decorated for use. For the school girl an envelope bearing the words "Sweet Sixteen" could contain sixteen tested recipes for candy.

Attractive buckles may be made from padded ovals or circles of cardboard covered with velvet or silk and having a simple design worked out in jet beads, or tiny jewels. A silk cord may be fastened through the center of the buckle and the buckle then threaded onto a soft ribbon or 3ash.
