I BE SURE GIFTS WILL PLEASE । In Making Same Articles for Friends It is Well to Be Sure of Appreciation.

WOMAN tells in recently' . published magazines how ' she has a “pillow ('hrist-i mas” for the benefit of her I many friends. she con- ’

I suited the piece bag. and from it drew ' forth the materials for making any ' quantity of dainty sofa pillows, all des-I lined for different friends. The cost ■ of the materials was chiefly that spent | I for silk cords, for .-mbr.cd' ry and | for filling for the <•nniple'ed pillows. I Nearly all the piilo vs wen- made by [ < onehing figures cut from - ontrasring | materials on a chosen background. I and the result was completed. The' | very same idea might al>o b carried I into effect by the girl cho loves to, I make dainty stocks. There never iva> a time when rhe prevailing styles of sered such a dainty array of- ollars. ; ami a box ot assorted colors and kinds would be welcomed any girl friend. > Then- might be found tn the piece I bag all sorts of bits of -ilk and rib-1 bon which could be fashioned into thet daintiest of dressy stock-, as well as i bits of lawn ami percale which would ! do nicely for stocks for every day [ wear with cotton shirt waists. The gift of a box of stocks migiit I*- made valuable if the box itself was a thing of beauty, and this eonl-1 be brought to pa-.- by the girl who is expert with her needle. Giving the same sort of gift to a large number of people is perfectly proper if ’he g;ft is one which is calculated to plea-e everybody. We’ve heard tiie story of a nice old lady wh > always made pin-cushions I<>r all her nieces and mittens for ::l! her nephews every year. It was said that her plan gave great pleasure t< one person, the aunt. It’s a good idea to be sure your gifts will be appreci ated before you go into the v holes:tl« manufacture of one style of article for many people.

And they're for baby. They make good chewing. They cannot possibly wound. And they are wonderfully lovable. One may indulge at from 20 cent;, upward. The choice ranges from mice to ele ‘ phants. The Christmas Season. Though Christmas seems to gain ' rather than lose in popular favor as I the years roll by. yet it is worthy of I note that the Christmas season has I been much curtailed from what it j originally was. For several centuries it began with the eve of AH Saints’ | day or “Hallow eve.” October 31, and continued until Candlemas day, Feb ruary 2. In England it is now computet! only from Christmas eve to “Twelfth night,” January 6, while in ' our own country it begins on Christn;as eve ami practically ends on Christmas night. Yet even now it really begins on December 16, marked in ! th • church calendar. “O Sapientia.” j fro: the* name of an anthem sung I during Advent.

In Anna Farquhar's “Convictions” in The National Magazine, -he -ays: “Santa Claus totters under his pack, wearing a long, old face these days. L’robnbly in his youth he had no idea of growing old or departing this life; therefore when his enthusiasm and joyousness began to wane unaccountably. he must have opined that the world was tottering—not his own generous throne of life. Nowadays he creeps down the chimney stealthily as if somewhat ashamed of his mission, like a polar burglar, and his eight tiny reindeer make small clatter on the lawn, for many of their joy bells have been lost. When Santa lays a finger aside of his nose reflectively in our rimes, he exclaims, without a bit of jolly shake below the waist: ‘Degenerates! Degenerates! Has my world come to such a pass that people wish to pay me for my presents? Can ir be that little children are so surfeited with toys that they stop to ask how much they cost before accepting them. There was little Willie, last year, who said to his mamma, when he first saw a m-autiful woolly log. "What's it got inside? Candy or money? Don't want a dog ’nless it's got somethin’ inside I” ’ ” T ranslated. “Y’as’m, I’ll work for you for $3 a week es I totes, and $4 es I don't.” said the undersized negro girl as she discussed prospective employment with a housewife who had only recently moved south and to whom the speech of the negro was still a complete mystery. “Es she totes,” she cogitated. What on earth oould that mean? It sounded like the pass word to a secret society or some other equally mystic phrase. She decided to invite the girl to return the next day for a final decision, planning in the meantime to have the puzzling phrase translated. As soon as the girl departed she sought counsel of a southern friend. , who laughingly told her that the girl meant she would work for $3 a week if she was allowed to carry home food for her family daily, or $4 without this highly esteemed privilege.—New York Post.
