0 OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905, What to Make For Christmas Safely Pin Holders, Glova Menders Mid Court Pinter Cases Are Usoiul Gifli nd Are Easily Construcled VERYBODY will soon be wou dorlug what to give everybody else for a Christmas present lllti UVnugu numuij to make her own gifts, and certainly a token which brings with It the loving thought and handiwork of the donor Is doubly appreciated. For the clever worker who is on the" lookout for new Mens the following suggestions may prove useful. A pretty and easily made little re mcmbrance Is a safety plu holder. To fashion this trifle an ordinary embroid ery ring about an Inch In diameter Is covered In but tonhole stitch with embroidery silk. To this ring are fastened three lengths . of Inch wide ribbon. At the end of each COURT PLASTER CASE. piece Is hung another ring covered hi the same way. Thou safety pins of as orted sizes are pinned through the rings. Tale blue Is about as pretty as any color one can use. Court plaster is a very Important and useful thing that Invariably gets mislaid even when It Is kept In the little case that druggists usually sup ply with It, and there Is no doubt that It should have a recognized and get-at- able place In every house. A white glazed cardboard box that has an outer covering Into which the box proper illdes such a box Is the first requisite for the case. Some photographic paste and a pretty piece of brocaded ribbon the widLh of the length of the box, half a yard of narrow ribbon to match or contrast with the other and a piece of silk clastic long enough to go round the sides of the box without stretching are the materials needed, Cover the box with the silk ribbon, ' cue piece being used for bottom, sides and top, starting from the bottom and folding the ribbon (previously covered BAFBTY FIN BOLDER. with paste) all round. The ends of the Inner box must bo slit down at the cor. ners and some of the photographic pasto applied to the sides. It Is then slipped Into the outer covering, there to remain as a fixture. A piece of the brocaded ribbon the size of the open ends Is now covered with paste 'and one end placed wlthlu the box. After pressing it carefully this ribbon Is brought to the end of one of the cut down pieces, over It, then along the bottom of the box and the section at the other end and, returning to Its starting point, covers In this way th ends as well as the bottom of the box. I Now make a line down the hinged ports, so as to allow them when dry to be turned up to close. IMvIde the narrow ribbon lu half and, placing It under the ends of the silk elastic, tack them right through the Inner box as well as through the ribbon covering, so that the elastic will not slip off when moved from either end. Exactly oppo site where It fnstous stitch the elastic and the other half of the narrow rib bon to the side of the box and tie In dainty little bows. I Another useful contrivance to make la a glove mender. Make a pretty bow of colored ribbon about two Inches wide and tie it through a fairly large crocheted silk ring. Make a tiny necdlecuse of three layers of tlilu QLOVH st UN D Kit. white Annuel prettily pinked around the edge, and sew this at the back of tbe bow with a tiny ring at the back to hang by. Now plult various needle lengths of cotton or silk corresponding with the various shades of your gloves tad put them over the large ring. This Is a very acceptable present, for tn9 TtfHrlM of even the most expensive gloves are numerous. -vs w I i, L HANDKERCHIEFS AS GIFTS. They Are Dntnty Christmas, Remem brance! The Use of Lace. The fashion of making your own handkerchiefs or of making them for the various gift times In the year Is growing very rapidly. Kinds are be ing attempted that ten years ago would have boon considered Impossible. The prettiest of them are quite sim ple, depending upon the beauty of the handiwork for their chief charm. Some are trimmed with the merest edge of a scallop, buttonholed with the tiniest of UUrrONIIOLUD HANDKMlCHlj f. stitches, and the scallops are outlined with the narrowest to be found edge of lace. Even brussels lace has been "adapt ed," the graceful brussels lace braid twisted like braiding on a bit of linen, the material In the loops cut out and the open space filled In with a cobweb done In the finest linen thread made. On the corners the twist ls ti little lar ger, the opening a little bigger, and the space is filled In with a couple of cobwebs. Another row of a wider braid edges the handkerchief. Nothing could be prettier for trim ming handkerchiefs than valenciennes lace, and there are a hundred ways of using it, from the old fashioned styles to fluffy little affairs with borders slashed in points, each trimmed with lace rullles. A pretty treatment Is using three rows of lace Insertion, grad uating In width, the narrowest next to the linen center. Those little glove handkerchiefs, six inches square, make Ideal foundations for trimming with lace, and your hand kerchief Is half done when It Is begun, as you've no tiresome hemstitching to do before you begin with the lace. Embroidery that fine, delicate work ing of exquisitely delicate vines and blossoms Is hardest of all to do and makes the heaviest of eye strains. PRETTY BRUSH POCKET. llMtienlc and Iseful Christmas Pres ent How It In Hnde. The germ fad has now reached the care of hairbrushes, which, according to an authority, must never be left ex posed on the dressing table. For this purpose the brush pocket seen in the picture Is especially designed. It makes a charming and hygienic Christmas of fering. Linen Is the material usually em ployed for a pocket of this kind, and one of dark color Is most serviceable for the purpose. The model Is In blue linen dotted all over with French dots. It measures thirteen Inches In length and nine Inches across from scallop to scallop In the upper part and seven Inches In the narrow part below the scallops. The shape can be easily cop led from the Illustration, but It would B1IUSII VtX'KBT. be well to cut It out lu newspaper first. Fold the paper so Unit you make only one Hue of cutting; then both Bides will be exactly alike, as the fold will be the center. The edge Is cut In scallops and has a knot stitch worked with silk lu each scallop. The dotted design may either be worked with silk or with mercerized cotton. The pocket for the brush Is cut five uud oue-half Inches deep and Is laid to form a box plait. The sides on the lower edge are scalloped, and the upper part of the plait Is feather stitched round. The lower corners are ornamented with clusters of ribbon loops, and there are loops at the top to bang It up by. Pockets of this description are to be bought made up ready for the embroid ery, for which the pattern Is marked out. Fan Shaped Nightdress Case. A fan Bhaped nightdress case Is a preferred style Just nm with Christ mas givers. It has a wide sash bow where the sticks should be. The case is of brocade or lace over satin. Either a thick cord or a plaited lace edges It ond sometimes ribbons are run on to simulate the sticks, but the big bow Is always In ridenc. EXCHANGE TALK The Unquenchable. Many people of our section are ter ribly in enrnest in their clamor lor development in Yaquina Harbor and Hon. B. F. Jouns, of Lincoln connty, is fnren.ost in the ranks. Speaking of this gentleman and his efforts, an ex change says : "At the Eugene Dovelonment Lnngne meeting President Hofer put the lid on B. F. Jones in the midst of his plua for Ynqniim Bay Harbor and an outlet therefrom. At the Republi can peace conference last week, when Jones whh HBking for recognition of Yaquina Bay Harbor and the Willam ette Valley, the lid was again put on by Isaac Manning, of Salem, having his motion tabled. Being sat upon does not discourage Jones. His face only grows a little redder each time. Determination grows with eaeh turn down. Every1 suppression of Jones means more pent-up oratory from the clam beds of Yaquina Bay. It were better for those iutorestcd in keeping Jones in the background that no at tempt be made to dim his light. Jones is unquenchable. Ho will be heard from at the next meeting of the Wil lame'te Valley Development Leauo meeting in Albany. It will be worth one's tinie to go to hear him. Jones can't understand why Isaao Manning, living at Salem, should object to a resolution before the peace conference, favoring the lifting of the 5C cents per ton shopped out of the valley in the way of a toll at the Oregon City looks. Jones had obssrved insilemeas long as his nifture will permit, the farm ers, hop growers, stock raisers, fruit growers and other interests in the val ley paying some $20,000 annually merely tiecanse of a little obstruction iu the river at Oregon City. Jonis can't understand why time is givou to discussion of scientific ir rigation and kindred subjects st league meetings, when he is deniud I lie privi lege of telling of the advantages of a direct connection witi an open sea at Yaquina. There will be no lid on B. F. Jones at the Albany League meet ing. Uorvallis Gazette. Just As An Investment. Speaking of what a newspaper does for a community, United States Sen ator David Davis, of Illinois, made au address that remains ever green in the memories of newspaper men. lie said : "Eve'y year every local paper gives Ironi 500 to'5000 free lines for the ben efitt of the community iu which it is located. No otber agency can or will do this The editor in proportion to his means does more for his own town than any other man. He ought to be supported, not because you happen to like or admire his writing, but be muse a local paper is the best invest ment a community can make. It may not be crowded with great thoughts but financially it is ot more benefit than both preacher and teacher. To day editors do more for less pay than any man on earth. Patronize your home paper, not as a charity, bnt as ; an investment. Dalles Chronicle. I Rule ol the Trusts. The docree has gone forth from the bosses that there will be no ariff leg islation at the ooming session of con gress, the Pesideut to the contrary notwithstanding. The President will no doubt make a recommendation, but that has no force with cougress when it comes to action. The last congress out of twenty-six recommendations passed statutes covering only two, and it will be a surprise if as much as that iB done the coming winter. No tariff legislation will mean the contin ued rule of the trusts. High tariff has fattoned them until they bulge out like a thousand-pound hog, and there is more iu store tor tliem. Albany Democrat. They Are High Jumpers. Romnlus had just toundod Romo. His brother, Remus, came along and amused himself by jumping over the walls of the city, and at the same timo was deriding and roasting Rom ulus in that peculiarly sarcastio way the, old Romans had. "Watch mo, Rom," said Remus, ''I am a juniper, I am," and he took another leap over the mud fence of the Eternal City. "Humph," replied Romulus,"that's uot. ninch of n jump ; yon should have seen Chris Sohuebel, of Oregon City, when he landed into the Republican party. John William Headon, in Saleui ""Journal.

Verily it seems the big daily doth protest too much. New berg Graphic Editor Lyon of the Independence West Side Enterprise tells how to stop the mail order business.
