These measure about'" Hvi inches and a haif high and h.vvt curved back and side pieces, lien gain the length Is determined by tbi number of books intended for tbi tand. These little stands are charm .ing when made as shown in the sketch and fixed two together, back to back. Book blocks are most useful. These consist of heavy shaped pieces of wood covered with brocade, and they art quite indispensable in ' keeping any number of books together on the table. They cost very little to make, and II the brocade is well stretched over the wood and nailed down with (Kiy up holsterer's tacks there is no danger o. the material wrinkling and spoiling the ffect. i Tapestry is Just as pretty a covering I as is brocade for these book racks.

Another pretty collar and cuff set I v. made of several lines of punched out holes arranged In Indian file. . In table linen Hedebro work center pieces, napkins and the small table covers that are hardly more than large centerpieces are newest. This work is a cross between Hichelleu and lace work. The effect Is gained by but tonholing around bits shaped like old Jewel work designs and Is then cut out carefully and the openings filled In with the prettiest lace stitches, lle tween the scallops of the edge runs tiny buttonholing, made lace fashion by casting stitches across the back and working over them for foundation. Among the little things that are hard ly .more than a Christmas card are pin m There was once a crane who had for bis very good friend a monk$. The monkey, who Was extremely mischie vous, got the crane into a great deal of trouble, but the worst thing he ever did I am going to tell you about. The crane had seen a man playing on a flute and longed very much to do the CO CoqI off at Our Big Soda Fountain Jjjp "WHY NOT ?" ' ' same. "Why not?" said the monkey. "Your beak will be the very thing. I'll drill the holes In It, through which you can blow sweet music." The crane pranced for Joy. "I can play at all the dances," he cried. For you must know that cranes are very fond of giving dances and going to dances. "All who listen will admire me. Miss Isabella Crane will gladly become my bride when I am a famous musician." "No doubt," said the monkey, "and In your day of grandeur I hope you will remember that you owe it all to me." But alas and alas! When the mis chievous monkey got those boles drilled through the crane's beak not a sound could he make. Even hfe old cry, which was not very pretty, came strange and whistling. "I'm ruined!" cried the crane, And It was so. The young crane lady whom he had hoped to marry said she did not desire a damaged article. All the other cranes cast him out and would have nothing to do with him. "This comes," said the monkey, "from being too ambitious. Who ever heard of a crane attempting to be a musi cian?"

A pretty waste paper holder can be made from a piece of cardboard meas uring nine inches high, with a diame ter of nine inches. The cardboard Is covered with brocade aud lined with dark sarcenet, afterward joined and 'sowed into a bottom piece of round cardboard covered with silk only. Top and bottom are finished off with thick rolled braid, and care must be taken to render the join in the cardboard cylinder as imperceptible as possible. Engagement and address books use up odd scraps of brocade. They can be bought quite cheap and the origi nal covers replaced with dainty bro cade ones. Trinket boxes, blotting books, veilnd glove cafes, ail can be made and, lastly, stands to hold cards. These are particularly pretty when the pattern on the brocade Is outlined in tinsel thread and the brocade after ward pasted on to the Inner side of the cardboard cases sold with playlDg I'cards, narrow silk braid sewed round " afterward hiding the raw edges and two pieces of ribbon nt either side of "the box to keep the cards In position.

A rack for holding special favorites among the photographs of personal friends Is an excellent present for Christmas. It Is quite easy to make one out of a strong piece of cardboard cut in fan shape and covered with linen or silk of a good art shade. Then a network of ribbon should be made, going across and across, both on the straight and diagonally, and fastening FAN PHOTOGRAPH BACK. the ribbons to the cardboard wherever they cross each other with brass draw- ! Ing pins or strong paper fasteners. If the latter are used, it will be necessary to pierce holes for them with a small stiletto or sharp penknife. The photographs are slipped through r between the ribbons which hold them In place, and about forty or fifty can b disposed of In this manner. The rack forms an attractive feature In a man's room when hung on the wall, or It may be used to conceal the back of a piano and be draped round with pongee silk. One fine spring morning when the buttercups were full of butter there was standing In the meadow a long legged, sad eyed little bull. It was a great day for him, for he had just come Into this world, all green below and all white above, and everything was strange and queer, and his legs were wabbly and wouldn't go where he told them. He made the most of bis first days In the world, for they were to be his happiest, though he didn't know it at the time. At the end of a week there came a cross eyed boy,' with a switch, whose '"SOW IS MY CHANCE." feet were bare and whose face was all covered with freckles. Our little friend did not like that boy's looks, and be liked less what he did, for he drove him from bis mother, be beat him with the stick, he pulled his tail, be put him In a box stall In the stable all by himself, and when he cried for mother he fed him on a bottle with a nasty rubber top. "You horrid boy!" said the little bull. "I'll get even with you for this If It takes me years to do It You think I can't remember because I'm a dumb beast But you wait" All this he said out loud, but the boy only laughed. He couldn't understand. The years went by, and little Mr. Bull grew Into big Mr. Bull, but be did not forget Each day that freckled boy came near Mr. Bull would give a low grunt and say: "I can wait. I shan't forget" By and by theToy had grown to be a young mam He put on long pants and a tail coat Mr. Bull bad grown also and put on a fine pair of horns. One day the boy was standing In the yard looking at his pigeons. Some one bad left the gate to the pasture open. Mr. Bull remembered. "Now Is my chance," said be. He put down his bead, he put up bis tall, he made a bee line for that freckled boy. The boy had forgotten, but when he crawled down off the barn roof ht membered. Boys, some animals tore good memories. Look outJ Pittsburg Dispatch. ! SEW A. With a Teti Year Guarantee TO THE Most Popular Grange Woman In Clackamas County V V . f lit ' , 'fe-.
