Christmas novel ties will liml nothing more charming than thi doll work bags and dainty lit tle gifts made from silks and old world brocades These novelties unmistak ably proclaim their Parisian origin and li e most importations from tin French capital they are expensive Dut from a description of some of these charming trifles their home man ufacture is not difficult Most attrac tive is a doll workbag The head of a pretty wax doll the size of which de pends of course upon the size of the workbag you wish to make is pur chased A quaint coal scuttle bonnet of flowered silk is fashioned for the dolls head which tics in a full bow under the chin Pieces of buckram standing out to form shoulders is next arranged about the dolls ueck and over this is fitted an old fashioned fichu of silk edged with puffings of the same This dressed up head forms the top of the bag the bag itself being a scanty skirt of silk trimmed with DOIiIi WOKKBAG flounces in 1S30 style At the top of the skirt is the usual drawstring which is run through the top of the dolls head and forms a sliding scale in which the bag is opened or closed A New Laundry Bag Here is a laundry bag that cannot elusively conceal in its depths any small article This new bag is very simple in construction It is a square of a yard or more of any material that is strong enough for the purpose Bright cretonne is very good This square is hemmed and each corner turned back half an inch On each of the blunted corners thus made is sewed a loop of tape four inches long Small er bags can be made In the same way Silk Flower Vase Vases covered with brocaded silk are the newest things out for holding flowers and the idea is to have three of these holders 3 5tf 5 silk flows iioldii quantity is reserved vases arranged togeth er These vases are constructed from testing tubes that are used for chem ical experiments and in the pres ent instance the large ones about twelve inches high are pressed into service About the three tubes is pasted handsome b r o caded silk or plain fabric may be used studded with sequins and e m b r o i d ered v i t h tiny de signs in ribbon flow e r s T h e fabric is applied with photogra phers paste and finished top and bottom with dull rcld Lraid The illustration shows how the tiles a e arrang ed A gold ccrd is put around them in such way as to make a gcod balance and an extra for haujring the The Doll Blotter Reminiscent of days long ago is a little lady fashioned from cardboard whose prosaic mission is to serve as a blotter The face and figure are paint ed in water colors the pannier like drapery being made of purple blotting paper fastened with tiny brass headed tacks This decorative desk adjunct costs 150 m For reasons of hentmient and econ omy it is often preferable to fashion Christmas presents for brothers at home A few suggestions are rivi for articles that combine the iImw qualities of attractiveness useful tie and inexpensiveness There are lots of brothers win own phonographs who will be happy Christ mas mornjng if they find that some member of the family has made them a holder for phonograph disks This album is made slightly larger than a square that would box a disk Iff pages are of heavy cardboard asd around each page is folded a sheet oT heavy paper with a circular opening In the center of each fold This pro vides a pocket on each side of the page In which a record disk can be kept yl pi loioS A llS PUONOOKAPII AIiBUM its name visible through a circular opening If the disks are kept in the album in alphabetical order and the pages indexed the finding of any rec ord desired is a matter of seconds aiid the risk of breakage is eliminated Soldier Suit For Small Boys Boys from six to twelve years of age always love to play at soldiering so why not make one of them a sure enough rough rider suit in which to indulge his warlike proclivities There are patterns on the market that make such a suit a simple garment to manu facture The material used is khaki with brown trimmings The suit con sists of jacket and regulation lour trousers The jacket has a number of pockets with pointed overlaps The same pattern trimmed with red and yellow cotton strips cut up into fringe could easily be transformed into an Indian suit and with a feathered head dress the costume would be complete Something Clever In Penknives The question of a really attractive gift for a man is solved to some extent by a novelty in the way of a penknife The new idea is a silver knife of the finest quality with an emblem worked out in colored French enamels inserted In the case The insignia of his college society or his crest is attractively wrought in col ors making the little keepsake some thing quite out of the usual run lirls who are adept at making arts ad crafts jewelry would find no difficulty in working the emblems into the silver penknife A Novelty In Leather One of the new leather triple cases for bills and all manner of memoranda would be a fine Christmas present The top case holds a thin shallow watch which has a white surface and black lettering It is large and distinct and is readily seen and so thin that it does not make a bulge in the case Necktie Holder Necktie holders are not new things in the way of gifts but they have the advantage of being useful and always acceptable Two or three such affairs are not too many for the collection of ties the college boy or up to date man has among his numerous belongings The newest necktie holder that has been brought out for Christmas is oval in shape and about a foot or more in length It is made of a stout piece of cardboard which may be pur chased already cut in the shops or cut by the maer of the offering as de sired Ths oval is covered with a piece of grayish heavy crash which is embroidered in sampler fashion in A Wk vlllir NECKTIE IIOLDEK odd old time colorings The wooden frame from which the ties are hung is also to be bought and is fastened through the cardboard and held in place with carpenters nuts To make the gift more personal the monogram of the recipient may be embroidered on the crash lbs label Z and buy only p rjBMj balling powder made JVJL rfPi irom
