10 matter how simple or in

expensive the gift, if it nas the Individual touch and is the product of one's ' handiwork, its

value is enhanced a hundredfold. Appropriateness is a great factor. Be sure that the gift answers some need; in other words, that it is the right gift for the right person. Remember Christmas comes but once a year, and put a little extra care and thought to the wrappings of the parcels and packages. Be lavish in the use of Yule Tide colors scarlet and green and tuck little sprays of holly or mistletoe amongst the soft tissue paper coverings to help make the Christmas present look Christmaey. An appropriate jingle or happy original thought accompanying the token will add to its significance. Above all, endeavor to have your presents reach their destination in time, even If they have to be completed In a hurry and flurry. Bet- ; I ter a day too soon than a day too I jlate. Here is a bewildering array of gifts that can easily be made by deft fingers. Some of these artlcles may help solve the ever perplexlng problem of "What shall I I give T" A dainty remembrance which the . recipient is sure to appreciate is a j sachet pad for the bottom of the bu- ! j . i j j

reau arawer. au inner paa is maae of wadding dusted with a fragrant sachet powder, and this pad is covered either with some pretty cretonne or soft silk. Tuft the sachet at Intervals with bows of baby ribbon. For one who prefers a useful rather than an ornamental gift, a set of dress protectors will, I am sure, be received with, keen expressions of delight. They can be made of silkplene at a trifling cost. Make a bag a yard and a half in length, the width of the goods. An opening should be left at the top for the hanger. Have it open half way down the front with buttons and button holes. Another useful article is a waist cover made of a square of dimnity or . organdie, edged with a fancy stitch in mercerized cotton. A small circle should be cut in the center for the hanger to go through. Fashion's latest decree is seen In the new black satin Robes-pierre cellars with jabots of filmy shadow lace. A charming neck adornment is fashioned of a yard of narrow velvet ribbon tied into a bow with the ends longer than the loops. Tiny roses mado of number two folded satin ribbon, with leaves of shirred green ribbon, decorate the ends and knot. If one knows how to crochet, there Is an endless selection of different novelties. Metal collar pins can be covered with single crochet, also hat pins, buckles and picture frames. A lovely card case is formed of two square medallions lined in satin and finished with a narrow edge. Crochet dollies for the dining table are again coming in .vogue. Any housekeeper would highly prize a set in varying sizes in heavy thread. Then there are numerous ideas for mufflers, neckties, round pincushions and bags, corset tags, shopping bagB, handkerchief bags and bags of all sorts and sines. .Mercerized cotton slippers with quilted satin soles would be a thoughtful gift for an invalid. Boudoir caps are seen here, there and everywhere, and by some are considered a necessity instead of a luxury. Why not have one all of Insertions of ribbon and lace of equal width. Run an elastic around the edge and have a frilly, fluffy ruffle of lace around the crown. A few rosebuds scattered among the ruffles will add to the effect. Corsage and buttonhole bouquets

' v w cue alluring. Many varieties and de- ' signs may be devised. Wrap the ;

stems in silver foil and tie with

'A Misfit Name. Little Florence climbed upon her fa tiler's lap on her birthday and put her arms around his neck. Father always called her Toodles. and until now she had answered to the name. But now she looked at him iu surprise. "Why, I'm three now. I should think you'd call me Threedles, " the said. Judge's Library.

gauze ribbon of a harmonizing phade. Only upon close inspection can they be detected from nature's own blossoms. Underwear straps would be a thoughtful gift for the college girl. The6e are cleverly constructed out of two inch satin ribbon shirred on elastic. Pert little bows hide the patent fastenings. Little sister never can possess too many hair bows. Buttonhole the end of a yard of ribbon of her favorite shade and tie into a jaunty bow. Of course, if your purBe allows, a sash to match would be a welcome addition. In the wintry days a crocheted cap of heavy wool with a neck piece of the same color, trimmed with saucy bows of ribbon, would keep ter good and warm. . Perhaps, however, sister would prefer a new frock for her dolly, in the very latest style, made out of pieces always to be found in the scrap bag. Brother could use a necktie case. Cover two pieces of cardboard with wadding and silk or any pretty material. Punch holes in the back and draw ribbon through so that the four inches. School pennants and pillows are two parts can be separated about f lso attractive made in school colors. For the man who shaves himself, I am" sure a razor case would be very suitable. A serviceable case

is made of coarse weave linen. Embroider the monogram on the flap in some bright color. You will require one-half yard of material eighteen inches wide. Fold together, leaving the lower folded piece as long again as the upper. Divide into space3 about an inch and a half wide. Catch stitch between. For traveling, the longer piece can be used as a nap. Silk cord is utilized so that it can be hung on the wall. Another masculine convenience is a pair of laundry bags of khaki or brown hoi-land linen, one bag for use while the other is at the laundry. Run a hoop through the top and complete with a two-inch heading. Embroider the name in full in small letters on each bag. Don't you think grandmother would be pleased with boxes neatly covered in cretonne, a box for her writing materials, one for trinkets, another for handkerchiefs and a fourth for her comb and brush? An apron is an acceptable gift. A favorite apron for the dear old lady is of white dimity with lavender flowers. Turn back about six inches so as to form a pocket, and divide the pocket into three sections. Scallop the apron in lavender silk and have the ties of lavender ribbon. A practical pin case is of a piece of eiderdown 15 inches Jong and 3 inches in width, faced with ribbon. Cross or feather stitch the two to-

gether. In the eiderdown place row

after row of black and white pins,

and safety pins in assorted sizes.

When completed, roll and close with ailk loop and small pearl button.

For His Royal Highness, the baby, there are the cutest armlets in either pink or blue. Narrow hat elastic is edged on both sides with a double row of silk in a simple shell stitch. Little pompons of ribbon trim the armlets. Of a fine embroidered handkerchief baby can have a Dutch bonnet. Turn one side back about one-third, shape to the head with tiny plaits, and on each side place ribbon rosettes. Baby always enjoys a horse rein. Give him a strong durable one of pink and white wash belting, with shoulder straps. Jingling bells across the front will add to the child's pleasure. A square of white net edged with beading and lace makes a nice carriage veil. Bootees can be made of pique or flannel, bound in pink, and laced up the front with silk cord. These suggestions may assist you in your holiday preparations. At all events, if your presents have been sown with thoughts of friendliness and love they are sure to be received in the same spirit as they are given. The heart of the giver always makes the gift trebly dear and precious.
