It has grown so strenuous in the large cities that there is a re- volt coming. Thebarbarous crowding, and the merciless overwork with which we tax ourselves, the postmen, the expressmen and, most of all, the shop girls, at what should be the mer- riest time of the year, are utterly inconsistent. But give gifts we will, 80 make up your mind to begin early and to give simple ones. The humble ten-cent store is im- mensely useful in providing the be- ginnings of some pretty and useful little gifts. Take to it early. Here is a pin cushion and a hairpin holder 1hat migrated from the tencent atore %o The Tlever and tasteful Hngers that fashioned them into things worth whiles For the hairpin holder is a bisque doll's head, with flaxen hair, which by means of narrow ribbon and crochet yarn has been converted into this pretty and convenient affair for the dressing table. The hair at each side is tied with a little bow of rib- bon. There is a hole in the top of | the head intc which a small hairpin| is thrust and bent so that it stays ln| | place.

Uting a chain stitch the heavy yarn loops of crocheted chain are fastened to the ribbon over the shoulders and festooned across the front and back. Hairpins are easily thrust into the loops and hang from them in all sizes and kinds. This proves & real con- venience and is attractive Foundations of cushions in all sorts of shapes are to be had at the ten- cent store. This long one is covered with flowered ribbon stretched om smooth. Cluny lace in en open pat- tern is sewed on the under side of the cushion and hrought up at each side and at the ends, where it is pinned to place with ordinary pins. A small rosette of baby ribbon sewed to one corner is used for finishing this cushion.
