Today I am giving three designs for readers of this paper who wish to make some of their own cards and for those who have run short ofs cards and would be giad to make some at no cost and at short noticg. any one of the above designs paper and transfer it to positioning it above the card and run- ning over all lines with a not-too-sharp pencil. Place a plece of carbon paper between card and tracimg paper before using the pencil. Tint the design with are given below. Outline the designs with a fine pen dipped in India ink. The cost of this ink Js little, and its advantages are that it does not spread, run or fade, and gives a true black line, To be realistic, the holly wreath should have green leaves and red bers ries. For purely decorative ' however, this scheme can be v: and the whole done in metal paint. The leaves may be of silver with gold ber- res, or the two elements can be in any preferred contrasting tones either of metal paint or water colors. As has been suggested, the green and red is true to nature and true to the tones of Christmas greens. Make a tiny in- cision in the card where a bow should come and run a short length of nar- row red ribbons or fancy Christmas ribbon or one with & color harmonis- ing with whatever schemes you have done the wreath in. Tie the ribbon in a bow. Letter the words “Merrie Christ- mas” at one side of the card, left bare for the greeting. Transfer the letters from those in the illustration, if you cannot do good lettering freehand, and beneath write from. and sign your name. Or position the wreath in the center of the card high enough for the Another mun of cards can be made using tree design, positioning it in either of the ways above de- scribed. Tint the pot red, tree green, trunk brown, candles red, tipped with yellow in the flame space. When out- lining the design in India ink put in the tiny straight flame section in ink to indicate the wick. A second color scheme is,—tree and tree trunk as above, flower pot ol yellow band- ed and rimmed with blue. Use vari- ous colors for the candles with flame and wicks as above. A third scheme pink, with flame yellow and wick back. all these mes the round ‘spots which indicate ornaments should be in metal paints of any chosen variety of colors, although water color can be used if no metal paints is available. The candlestick with holly leaves permits of many color schemes candlestick, white candle, green holly leaves, red berries;—or black candle- stick, red candle, green holly leaves and red berries;—or yellow stick, black candle, holly as above;—or blue stick with either red, yellow or white candle and holly as above. The flame and wick should be done in yellow with black wick in each instance. ST e Salmon-Corn Soufle.

Each My Neighbor Says: ‘When blankets are to be wash- ed for the first time, they should be soaked overnight in cold water and then rinsed. This is to re- move the sulphur used in bleach- ing. After this they should be soused until clear in a lukewarm lather made with boiled soap and water and then rinsed well in clear water. A simple way to remove iron rust is to use salt, lemon and sunshine. Apply the salt and lemon and leave the garment in the sun with the spot exposed.

At night is the best time for a thor- ough cleansing, but if the face becomes | duired length and t soiled during the day it should be cleansed then, also, especlally if fresh make-up is to be applied. Dirt allowed to remain on the skin is pretty apt to seep deep into the res, and every beauty seeker knows it it takes eter- nal vigilance to prevent this condition. In a combination of the cream and soap and water cleansing the first step is to apply a cleansing cream over the entire face and neck. Choose a light, olly cream which will go deep down into the pores, and let it remain on for two or three minutes. Remove with a plece of cloth or tissue and then wash the face and neck with warm water and soap, worl the soap into a lather on the face cloth before n?plb to the skin. Rinse thoroughly in mmml tepid waters and finally in cold There are times when it is wise to dispense with the soap and water clean- ing. For instance, if one has spent the day in and the skin feels par- ticularly sensitive, it may be cleaned entirely with cream, as the soap and water may prove too harsh. In such a case use severalacoats of the cream, allowing each to remain on the skin for & short time before removing. The skin may be considered clean when there is no soil on the tissue used to remove the cream. After this cleansing a skin tonic or mild astringent may be gently patted on the skin to remove any trace or feeling of greasiness, Saturate a piece of clean absorbent cotton with 3:1: 1;7'.10!.1t and pat the face fgently ‘The following lotion is a good one for fore applying foundation cream or with soap and water: Orange flower water, four ounces; tincture of benzoin, five drops; wdered borax, one-half - nful; cologne water, one o ; lve the borax in the orange flower water and add the benzoin drop bfi drop to the cologne water.

That is, you never quite give up the fight against it; but if it is e fight that goes in your favor, you should not mind. Inany case, you must keep fight- ing dandruff, or the germ wins and you lose your hair.
