"WOMAN:S PAGE.” Children’s Gifts to Older Persons BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. S ST a— THE BAG IS A SOUT AND DAL 18 o 1 Children are eager to know of things | they can make to gve as presents at Christmas time. They have their own little problems in making small allow- | snces supply the needed number of | suftable gifts. elping them that I make the su, tions today. They peal older folk as gifts they would like to' make as well as receive. The first suggestion is for a hot water bottle cover made of knitted or crocheted wool or varn If the former, cast on 50 stitches and knit @ strip, plain, ribbed or in a checker design,” made of plain and purled stitches. If the strip is ribbed, make ' rls lengthwise of the work, not across {t. Knit a strip as long as the hot water bottle. Then bind off 6, 8 or 10 stitches in the center of the row, d finish the row. In the next row cast on stitches equal to those bound off. This leaves a spuce through which to slip the protruding end of the bottle, which comes at the lower end. Complete the strip, so that the length is twice that of the bottle. Sew up each side, row for row, to keep the work even and insure the hole coming exactly at the botton of the cover. Make a row of filet stitches about the top of the bag and finish the top of this filet work with scallops. Run a tape or ribbon through the filet &paces, and the bag is complete. The lag can be made without the opening at the lower end, and be just a strip of plain knitting or crocheting sewed up each side to form a bag. A row of chainstitch loops at the top will serve for the drawstring to run through. A finer worsted should be used for crocheted than knitted bags. Such a bag makes a welcome gift, e p BEDTIME STORIES Why Some Objected. Remember that chatc'er ¥ou da. Affects some other people. tuo!

Moreover, it is delight: fully soft to the touch and the loose- ness of the work allows the heat to penetrate quickly. Easy Drawn Work. Smart cushion covers can be made from squares of mnaturaltoned or colored burlap. Cut the burlap into squares. Overcast the edges to pre- vent raveling. About four inches from each corner draw two threads. | On the end of a third thread fasten a double strand of a contrasting worsted.

A the work is done from both sides of two corners, it will form a complete square of woven work that will cross intersecting rows. Such a cover makes another practical and welcome gift. If preferred a back can be sewed to the pillow top, making a complete cushion cover. One end should be left open. Cross-Stitch Work. Cross-stitch can be used on heavy linen canvas that comes for fancy work, and many quick and pleasing gifts made from it. Get the canvas in- tended for work that is not filled in. It comes very wide, and a half yard can be cut to make a number of things. One square can be worked to make a pillow top. Two strips 4 inches wide and 18 inches long can be worked for curtain tie-backs. These should be lined. Such tie-backs, work- ed in raffia or in worsted, are just the thing for cottages.

How all the girls envied Miss Fashion Plate. She was the most ex- quisitely dressed thing in four coun- tries. She fisrt appeared at the house party on Friday evening at a seml-formal dance. Palest pink chiffon was her dress—all frilly and soft and graceful. Around her throat were silver beads— on her feet silver slippers and flesh- colored hose. In her halr was pinned the finishing touch—a tiny jeweled comb—Ilovely rose and white stones. When she ran out for a walk in the garden, she slipped on a wrap of soft- est white ermine. Everybody just simply gasped with envy. What chance had the girls who depended on their not-too-wealthy fathers for their dress allowance? The next morning found her com- plete in sport clothes—smart brogues, plald stockings, heather suit with a plaid scarf and a brown sport hat. Everything matched everything else and she looked like a million dollars. Afternoon tea was sufficient cause for another change of costume, and this time she appeared in powder blue georgette, her slippers of sand-colored satin, ornamented with powder blue buckles—her necklace of sand-colored pearls, fastened with a blue clasp. “Ye god: the unfortunate other irls wailed. “she must spend 10 hours getting things to match each never bave the time or t 3 And when that night Miss F.

But most of. them know her old man, and they know he hasn’t got a bean to spend on all those clothes.

If a boy is looking around for somebody to tie up to for a few dozen years, he doesn't pick out a girl who obviously spends three hours a day trying to find shoe- buckles to match her dress.

ABERNETHY. Cheerful Disposition. Actors express anger, scorn, fear, love, and all the other emotions by calling upon the mentality to direct the facial expressions. Permanent expression of the face is made by the conscious or uncon- scious action of the mind. Lines upon the face are caused by the constant in- fluence of the emotions, desires, pur- poses and activities of the mentality. If the lines are arched on the fore- head, forming many parallel bows be- tween the temples, they are indexes to an idle, vacant mind. Irregular lines, neither straight, horizontal nor upright, reveal erratic natures, often untractable and impulsive. If the dispositon is pessimistic, there will be lines extending downward from the corners of the eyes and mouth. But the person with a cheer- ful disposition will have mirthfulness and buoyancy written in every line, who makes you feel that buying|as they will all have a tendency to Christmas presents is just trying to|curve upward instead ot’ downward, get something for nothing.’ (Copyright, 19285, ved a miller{ <o proud of his accemplished | olden | l Which Sex Influences the Other Most influence over the other?"” discourse long and over them, and it flaj woman s practical. doesn't want to do. a4 woman is a thousand horsepower. road he is already going. power. of which he is capable. thrift’s pocket, nor galvanize a la And, doubtless becaus the heights, bad women have far mor greaier thun hers over him is that to a higher as many women with unbridled p love of gambling, as there zre men, bu immoral, loose women, women, as .. her craving for the gay life, be stepping she would be met b would be no condonement of her sin. acred influence to reforn drunkard: their them and have married the fond and foolish f: The proportion of infinitesimally small those who On the other hand, men can m: The: wives should be beyond reproach.

FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS, Food Speciullst. Suppose you were cast away on a desert 1sland with only a limited num- ber of foods saved from the wreck, wouldn't you exercise every ounce of your creative imaginaton in prepar- ing those foods with as many vari- ations as possible’ Skim milk out of cans would be made to masquerade as cream by a skillful conversion into cream gravy or cream sauce. Cereals would appear at one meal in the form of breakfast food, at another as a main dish, while at a third the des- sert would really be a hidden grain mixture! Why not pretend, as the children say, that the same situation confronts you at home? Get into the habit of wringing every scrap of variation out of every least food product and you will be surprised to see how easy it i8 to keep out of those food ruts so dreaded by the best of housekeepers. It may sound like a contradiction in terms, this using a few foods for the purpose of building up a ‘“varlety,” but it is really worth trying. Just by way of fllustration, take hominy, or fine ground white corn. Before we begin this analysis, we must remember that what we are seeking is something quite different from a variety of recipes for cooking a cer- tain food. That is important and worthy of the serious attention of any ambitious home maker, but at present we are out after facts that shall help us in visunlizing the nutritional possi- bilities to be got from a limited num ber of products or even from a single product. Hominy, or in fact any fine grained cereal product of approximately the same consistency, is capable of fur. hing the foundation for a number of breakfast dishes. As plain porridge with whole or top milk, it makes an acceptable second course for break- fast. Furthermore, as we are striving to build up as rich a food content as possible from our limited larder it hooves us to think over each dish as planned with the purpose of gaining a clear idea as to just what foods must be added in order to make up for the deficiencies of the dish under con sideration. The plain breakfast cereal, then, furnishes energy, some fat and some bodv-building material. The milk makes an ideal addition, for it contributes more body-building ma- terial, vitamins and lime for bone building. When a minimum number of courses is necessary search the Mother Hubhard cupboard carefully and try to find some dried fruits, dates or raisins or figs. The addition of a few of any one of these adds one more important element, namely, mineral matter for body regulating. Then it the family craves hot bread for break- fast, concoct deliclous gems if there s no baking powder; muffins if bak- powder and flour are forthcoming.
