< A Pretty Safety Pin Case
A dainty conv< nlenre for traveling
and for the dressing table always wel
comed as a holiday gift by a woman
is a little safety pin ease, made of
linen and embroidered In a California
design.
Two pieces of stiff paper or card
board are cut the size of the oval in
the design and one piece is for the
cover of the case, tile other for the
back.
Die desi.n may he transferred to
the linen by means of carbon paper
and embroidered in a plain Reusing
ton stitch. The poppy is red and the
half, to form a fring , lay the candy
in tin1 center, gather the fringe to
gether, and tie about an inch below
tile fringe, which pull out, until loose
and fluffy, and hang by ribbon.
Artificial snow is sparkling. Dip
Hakes of cotton in glue, then in dia
mond dust, and place it on the topmost
boughs.
Tiny Japanese lanterns light the tree
prettily, and are safer than unshielded
candles; then there are little square
lanterns having mica sides. These
have a sponge in a tin eup at the bot
tom and a wick. The sponge is sat
urated with kerosene and the wick
lighted They burn longer titan tlie
ordinary Christmas tree candles, mak
ing a handsome illumination, and are
quite safe.
I-ittle iced cakes in various colors
j help to decorate Hie tree. These gre
made In the semblance of s unvlmlls
and dominoes.
AN ATTRACTIVE SATIN STOCK
I
High ooneil atucK 01 colored satin,
with the new wide ruehing at top.
The satin is foldet over a foundation
of white net and toned at sides and
back. At the base there is a band
to form a cravat, twisted in a loop
in front, finished with two ends and
heavy silk tassels.
FOR THE GIRL OF TWELVE
Some Holiday Presents That Will Be
Most Pleasing and Appro
priate. /
Perhaps there is no more difficult
person in the household for whom to
select a gift than the girl of about
1 - years old. Site lias outgrown dolls
and such childish delights; site cares
nothing for the dainties that would
please iter older sister, yet something
must be found for her In olden days
sashes made excellent gifts, but now
they art' not quite , <> useful Why
not replace ilietn by a ribbon for the
hair, with embroidered ends? The
cost would be comparatively little and
the work would be almost nothing
It would take a piece of ribbon about
a yard long and about five inches
wide. Cut the ends across and em
broider, in the self color, a scallop
and, perhaps, a small design on the
order of the Dresden work.
This would be a nice gift ami
would delight the heart of the little
girl at that period of life between
little girl and young womanhood.
J
leaves green, with binding and bows >
of red ribbon.
Cover each side of the cardboard
with tlie linen and stitch on the rib- !
bon binding. Two pieces of white
tlannel with pinked edges are sewn
in at the top to hold the safety pins. ,
Fins of different sizes may be put into
'
the flannel and a few black safety pins
will be found useful.
It is an attractive little giff and
would be thoroughly appreciated by
women at home, as well as by the
traveler.
HOW TO TRIM IT MOST EFFEC
TIVELY AND EASILY.
It Is Usually the Last, But by No
Means the Least Important of
the Holiday Preparations.
When all the other Christmas work
is done, there remains the important
task of trimming the Christmas tree.
Color and effect are the most impor
tant requirements, the materials em
| ployed being secondary. The souvenirs
or gifts form part of the decoration of
the tree. These may he wrapped in
tissue paper of bright hues, and tied
with narrow ribbons. If the gilts are
small, a pretty idea is to imbed them
in artificial oranges. Make these of
orange yellow crepe paper, wrapping
Hu' gilt in soft paper, and till the
orange out with tissue paper. Hang
by two-inch lengths of ribbon or strips
of braided crepe paper. These look
very pretty among the dark green
boughs.
Huy the loose tinsel and cobweb the
tree with it and with strings of pop
11111. string the corn on coarse threads
about fifty inches long; make tassels
of tlie corn on each end, then tie a
knot in the long strand, a little below
the center, after doubling the tassel
ends even. This forms a unique neck
lace.
Little stars, hearts and other figures,
cut from heavy paper, given a coat of
glue, then dipped in mica or metallic
dock, make rich decorations, also
chains made of paper and treated in
the same manner. These chains, looped
from bough to bough, are qu.’te daz
zling, holly berries, threaded to eacli
link, make them more effective.
Plenty of red and green apples—
small ones, of course—help the dec
orative scheme; and tiny potatoes,
stuck full of wee flags, look well. Make
the banners of various colors, using
crepe paper with long sticks.
String all the fallen holly berries,
and garland the boughs with these, or
spear each berry with a pin and stick
tlie pins into corks or pieces of potato.
The best method of gilding the nuts
is to buy the loose smalts from some
dealer in paints and oil (house paints).
One can obtain tlie smalts In gold,
silver and brilliant metallic colors.
Obtain also one-eighth of a pound of
glue. Place it in a bowl, add a pint
of water, and set the bowl in another
vessel of hot water. Let boil until the
glue is thoroughly dissolved. Before
gilding the nuts, hammer a tack into
the end to suspend by. Take hold of
the tack, dip tlie nut in the glue, then
roll in the Hock and lay aside to dry.
Little pine cones cau be gilded in a
like manner.
Little bonbon baskets are quickly
made by forming a strip of cardboard
Hve inches long and two inches wide
into a circle. Fit in a disk of card
board for the bottom, then line inside
and out witli paper, gluing it iu place
Make a handle from a strip of braided
crape paper and sew securely in place,
fastening it on the outside, as this is
to lie recovered ; to do this, take a piece
of crape paper four inches wide and
Hve inches long. Fit this around the
little box. slashing top and bottom to
form a fringe. Others can be covered
with rows of braided crape paper; oth
ers. agai i. luay be dipped in the liquid
glue, then dusted w ith sago and sil
vered or gilded.
Again, one can take two squares or
rounds of crape paper of contrasting
shades and about five inches in diam
eter. Place two together, slash the
edges to the depth of an inch and a
