; V 'Xmas Gifts : 1 '
Lives there a woman with an average number of names to her Christmas list who haB not wished at the eleventh hour on December twentyfourth that she had spent Just a little more time with her needle, and had to show for It some dainty remembrances which would cheer up some few of these people for whom she has not provided? If there is such a paragon of virtues as this let her, pass this helpful article by and hie herself at once to her well-earned niche in the hall of fame. She has it coming to her. These hints are given for the foolish virgins who must at the last minute be original and at the same time quick about it. . They tell how to combine a few simple twists of the wrist with a little ingenuity, more or less material, and the necessary implements. The results will be worth any trouble that may have been caused, for these descriptions have all been tried, and have met with many flattering expressions of the designer's artistry. (No names given!!) And how much more fitting they will be than the extravagant, embossed Christmas cards which have been uo In demand the past few years. These cards were primarily sent as thoughts of happiness, and were meant to create within the heart of the recipient a feeling of great joy. The custom has grown to such enormous and foolishly extravagant proportions that the aforesaid feeling is apt to be
changed to one of wonder as to where we will put the next batch the postman brings; and that isn't saying anything about how the postman must feel about it. However, it seems much more appropriate, In these days of sensible things, to eschew the unnecessaries and buy Red Cross stamps while we can easily make for our intimates some of the many useful and attractive little gifts which may x be evolved at small outlay, and mean uo much in thoughtfulness. For the woman who is even a little dexterous with her paintbrush, the field is practically unlimited for original ideas in gift-making. In a little side street shop I found some unfinished wooden candlesticks a whole tableful of them, at five cents each. What an orgy one might have with some colored enamels, square candles to top the finished products, and a resulting gift which would grace any mantlepiece or boudoir. Ordinary chip baskets, the old-fashioned affairs made of oak withes, are taking perky airs unto themselves. An artistic girl I know was in a rather tight place the other day, and her originality was put to a hard test. She emerged triumphant, with the kindling basket painted a wild-rose pink, and ornamented with a cluster of common clay fruit, painted in natural colorings. An oak tray is left unpainted except in the center, where a stencil is
done In bright yellows and blues. The handle is enameled in the two colors, and two wooden beads painted like apples are attached with a purple cord. ' " v . . Tomato cans, metal shears, solder and patience are the required ingredients for a number of unusual ideas in tin. Painted nosegays are the regular decorations for these sconces, candle sticks, flower pots, etc. Pipettes ordinarily used in laboratory work are not half bad lemonade straws when they are all dressed up in bands f enamel. . For needieworkers there are many dainty affairs which can be made from remnants and rag-tags. One of the most novel and easily made laundry bags I have seen in a long time was made from nothing less than a cretonne lambrequin. A strip two and one-half yards long was folded together, and seamed down each side, the extra half yard being felt on one side. This flap was braid-bound, and snapped up onto the bag proper. The fold of the bag was fitted with brass rings, so that it might hang flat against one's closet door. The front side had a vertical opening which was, also braid-bound. The principal advantage of this bag is that it never has to be removed from its hooks. Simply unsnap the flag, and your laundry emerges in a neat pile. Luncheon sets of colored linen or near linen are quite the vogue. Most
of them are plcoted along the edges. Cross-stitching .would be much prettier if one had the time. . Stunning mules for the boudoir are made of velvet in soft tones, with a rhinestone buckle or a tight little bouquet of flowers on the toe. . . Knitting bags ad libitum can be evolved from bits of satin, trimmed with - oilcloth flowers, or simply attached to the top of the old silver purse. : , -- :.';. ' ' , Nothing is nicer than the small gift which may be . tucked into a letter and mailed at the last minute. Handmade handkerchiefs, spectacle chamois, veils , and sachets are among the little things ; similar ones or new ones may be suggested by the materials one'has on hand.
When Itching Stops
There is one safe, dependable treatment that relieves itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin. Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle of zemo and apply it E9 directed. Soon you will find that irritations, pimples, blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm and similar skin troubles will disappear. A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy ing liquid, is all that is seeded, for it banishes most skin eruptions and makes the skin, soft, smooth and healthy. , The E. W. Rose Co., Cleveland, O.
