MY DEARS: And had you noted
that there's a bit of magic in the air
and in our hearts? A gloriously ex-
hilarating magic, love for our fel-
lownian engendered by our common
interest in the common cause of
Christmas shopping, love that makes
our eyes a bit brighter and happW,
i .1 . r. 4 t i - j
love that gives a softer tone of kind-
ness to each spoken word, a bigger
generosity for those with whom we
come in contact. Wouldn't it be
wonderful to carry such gladness
throughout the entire; year? -.

these rhinestone encrusted buckles
ranging in price from $5 to $50.
From France come the chic crea
tions in cut steel in both plain and
bronzed effects, ranging in price
from $10 to $50, each tiny cutting
done by, hand, its price depending
on the number of Spoints and the
fineness of the work. Infinitely care-

Gift Department Established on the
Main Floor. '
"COR your convenience the H. R.
Bowen Furniture Co., Sixteenth
and Howard, have established a gift
department on the main floor where
you'll find gifts of exquisite loveli
nrss at the new reductions of one
third to one-half the former pric
ings. One large section is devoted
to smoking sets of mahogany
priced at from $6.50, up. Lamps to
bewitch with their originality of de
sign, bases of manogany in natural
lustrous dark brown finish, or the
beautiful hand-carved polychrome
tinted bases in table and floor lamps,
all exquisitely shaded. Silk shades
predominate; these m two-color corn-
binations, gold and silver, lace
trimmed. A magnificent floor lamp
in dull gold finish standard has a
deep gold silk shade, over which
are, drawn hand-shirred motifs of
black georgette. Heavy gold and
black silk fringe is a delightful finish
for this unusually effective shade.
T taffeta has been used for the
fashioning of a new straight-across-
tne-top snaae wun smes oi oia ume
satin in shaped scallop pieces, which
extend over an eight-inch fringe
with six-inch silver tassels hanging

Christmas
B
ECAUSE oaoer is scarce whv
not wrap and trim the Christmas
gifts with what we have in the
house? You have no idea of the ma
terials right under your hand until
you look about. All the little break
able things can be wrapped in white
cotton the shape of the cotton bales
as they come from the south. Cut
pieces of burlap just the right size
to cover the gifts, leaving the ends
open. Tie four or five pieces of
red string around at even intervals
and you have a perfect small bale.
Make coders for gift, books out of
pieces of cloth from the piece bag,
just as you used to covef your
school books when - you were in
school. Gingham, percale, silk,
stenciled oilcloth all make charm
ing covers
Walloaoer makes very effective
wrapping, and there is usually a roll
or two tucked away somewhere in
the house. One very clever young
woman wrapped all her gifts last

p0se,i and tied them with cords with
gaily colored beads on the ends ot
them. She used greeting cards with
Japanese decorations, and'the effect
was very lovely. If you have any
bedroom paper with tiny flowers on
it, it would be very pretty tied with
narrow ribbons to- match. The card
could be decorated with, the same
flowers. If you cannot draw you
could cut out the flowers from the
paper and paste them to plain cards
1 ri.rlctniis
and write your own Christmas
greetings.'
Anothe'r way to use burlap would
be to. wrap the gifts in it and sew
up the seams in long stitches of
bright-colored yarn, tying a bow
on the top with little tassels at
the ends. v
Plain brown paper saved from the
store packages can be used to make
truly artistic bundles, it must he
clean and smooth, of course. Save all
the "colored covers from magazines
and pamphlets. Stencil the paper
with appropriate designs and Christ
mas greetings and cut them out care
fully with simp scissors. Paste
pieces of the colored papei" under the
cutouts and tic with ribbons to
match,
Another
wav to use brown pancr
would be. to make up little bags like

As to Chairs
V When it first occurred to occl
"dental mail that he could not be civi
lized without making a practice of
sitting in chairs he laid up no little
trouble for himself. The Japs have
achieved what we must admit is as
high civilization as ours and they
have saved themselves a deal of ex
pense and trouble by getting along
entirely without chairs f We are told
that bedsteads were first invented
in India where nice little household
pets in the form of venomous snakes
and deadly spiders had less easy
access to the sleeper if his mattress
was elevated on a wooden frame
with legs. 'The Japs had no such
dangers to fear, hence always got
along quite nicely on the floor and
likewise saved themselves the ex
pense of bedsteads.,
Of course as things are now the
season why we sit in chairs is be
cause we couldn't for the life of us
squat in comfort on, the floor in Jap
fashion. Our clothes and our muscles
wouldn't permit it. So we just have
to have chairs and there is no use
trying to effect , an economy py -t;oing
without them now.
