Tlii searcher after 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

qualities of attractiveness useful tie
and inexpensiveness
There are lots of brothers win own

member of the family has made them

album is made slightly larger than a
square that would box a disk Iff

around each page is folded a sheet oT
heavy paper with a circular opening
In the center of each fold This pro

album in alphabetical order and the
pages indexed the finding of any rec
ord desired is a matter of seconds aiid

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

frame from which the ties are hung
is also to be bought and is fastened
