FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1915, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER n HANDKERCHIEFS ARE STUNNING Christmas Season Sets Many Styles in Hankeys; Wide Hems, Nar- row Hems, Scallops, Etc. By Margaret Mason. {Written for the United Press) Now the the wintry North wind blows One needs do likewise with the nose; So bear in mind this thrifty line: A handkerchief in time saves nine. New York, Dec. 17.—It is indeed ‘an ill wind that blows no good, for it’s the rawest, nas- tiest of winds which necessitates the han- dy hanky; but who wouldn’t have a cold in the head just in order to have one of the stunning new handkerchiefs in the hand. Time was when the exclusively mon- ogrammed handker- chief and the ones embroidered with [ ) the whole signature Margavet Mason ;1o possessor were not for every common nose to be stuck into. Just the partrician proboseis revealed in such exclusively marked fine linen, and the signature hanky was held solely to the quiver- ing nostrils of the rich and high born. Signature Novel. This merry Xmas season has re- volutionized all this, however. A hanky had embroidered, with a fac- similie of the owner’s own dashing all and every race. For fifty cents you may have your full name done in any color on a good quality linen handkerchief. Naturally, the thicker you care to go as to price, the thinner the quality of linner in your hanky will be. So there you are! And with the hoi polloi blowing over their own hand embroidered signatures, what- ever are the elect going to do for an exclusive novelty in the monchoir line. Perhaps they’ll go a bit furth- er and have their birth certificates, marriage licenses or pedigrees work- ed out in original design. Like fairy gossamer are the tiny, handspun linnen glove handkerchiefs with wee hand hemstitched or scal- loped edges, some with intricate mon- ograms and others with exquisitely embroidered garlands'and wreaths. Little Kerchief Also. ‘Wide hems, narrow hems, scallops, lace edging and edges bound in colors are but a few of the manifold manners of finishing these dainty linen squares. To disguise a necessity as a luxury has been achieved with the acme of success in these handker- chiefs of these winter days. The color note in gayest futuristic or dainty pastel tones enters often either in the hems, the embroidery, or even occasionally colors the en- cire handkerchief itself. For infant noses and the undevelop- ed button noses of peurility, adorable little silk and linen squares bloom with the omnipresent sportive Kewpie in alluring colorings and quaint little cross-stitch people doing everything from hanging out clothes to shooting Indians. Truly, they would make 'most any small nose gay. Every cent spent in Bemidji on to the city and will be returned to you. signature is now within the reach of TOYS a¢ to $5.00 from .i‘oy Stovesfl ¢ 'Tevddy lBez]rs | Rocking Horses ¥/ Blackboards Toy Banks .
