A Pretty Safety Pin Case V A dainty convenience for traveling ‘ und for the dressing table always wel comed as a holiday gift by a woman is a little safety pin case, 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, the other for the back. The design may be transferred to the line,n by means of carbon paper and embroidered in a plain Kensing (on stitch. The poppy is red and the TlVELY AND EASILY. i — 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 impottant 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 (issue paper of bright hues, and tied with narrow ribbons. If (he gifts are small, a pretty idea is to imbed them in artificial oranges. Make these of orange-yellow crepe paper, wrapping (he gilt in soft paper, and fill the orange out with tissue paper. Hang k by two-inch lengths of ribbon or strips of braided crepe paper. These look very pretty among the dark preen boughs. 1 Buy the loose tinsel and cobweb the tree with it and with strings of pop corn. String the corn on coarse threads about fifty inches long; make tassels of the 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. kittle stars, hearts and other figures, cut from heavy paper, given a coat of glue, iben dipped in mica or metallic cock, make rich decorations, also chains made of paper and treated in the same manner. These chains, looped from bough to bough, are quite daz zling, holly berries, threaded to each 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 „ soear each berry with a pin and stick the pins into corks or pieces of potato. The best method of gilding the nuts s to buy the loose smalts from some dealer in paints and oil (house paints). One can obtain the smalts in gold, silver and brilliant metallic colors, obtain also one-eighth of a pound of glue. Place it in a howl, 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 tl(e nuts, hammer a tack into the end to suspend by. Take hold of the tack, ^lip the nut in t,ie K*u9> tllen roll in the flock and lay aside to dry. Little (line cones can be gilded in a like manner. Little bonbon baskets are quickly made by forming a strip of cardboard live inches long and two inches wide into a circle. Fit in a disk of card board lor the bottom, then line inside and out With paper, gluing it in 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 be recovered; to do this, take a piece of crape paper four inches wide and live 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, again, may be dipped in the liquid glue, then dusted with sago and sil vered or gilded. Again, one can take two squares or rounds of crape paper of contrasting tnades and about five Inches In diam eter. Place two together, slash the edges to the depth of an inch and a 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 flannel with pinked edges are sewn In Ht the top to hold the safety pitis. Pins of different sizes may be put into the flannel and a few black safety pins will be found useful. It is an attractive little gift and would be thoroughly appreciated by women at home, as well as by the traveler. ! half, to form a fringe, lay the candy in the center, gather the fringe to ' gether, and tie about ail Inch below ! the fringe, which pull out until loose 1 and fluffy, and hang by ribbon. Artificial snow is sparkling. Dip ! flakes 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 ; c andles; then there are little square lanterns having mica sides. These have a sponge in a tin cup at the hot j tom and a wick. The sponge is sat urated with kerosene and the wick lighted. They burn longer than the ; ordinary Christmas tree candles, mak ing a handsome illumination, and are quite safe. Utile iced cakes in various colors help to decorate the tree. These are made in the semblance of 'snowballs and dominoes. AN ATTRACTIVE SATIN STOCK High boned stock of colored satin, with the new wide niching at top. The satin is foldec over a foundation of white net and oned at sides and back. At the base t lucre 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 12 years old. She has outgrown dolls and such childish delights; she cares nothing for the dainties that would please her older sister, yet something must be found for her. In olden clays sashes made excellent gifts, but now they are not quite so useful. Why not replace them by a ribbon for the hair, with embroidered ends? The cost would be comparatively little and the work would be almost nothing i It would take a piece of ribbon about ! a yard long and about five inches : ! w ide. Cut the ends across ana em- i broider, in the seif color, a scallop and, pe rhaps, a small design on the ' order of the Dresden work. This would be a nice gift and j would delight *he Lce.rt of the little' girl at that period of life between little girl and young womanhood. ... j ' THE COMERS AND GOERS HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST TO YOU AND ME.
