HOMEMADE PRESENTS NECKTIES FOR CHRISTMAS. He,» Useful Hints For the Happy Christmas Time. HA BL) 80 ME FLOWERPOT HOLDER. A Gift Ttaat Will Be Ap»r«eiat«4 by a Laver *f Plaata—How It la Ma4«. A m Attractive X«ws*a*ar Holder For tbe flooaehold. The givers of Christmas gifts are often at their wits’ end to think of suitable presents, yet they almost as oft u entirely forget to reckon tbe pos sibilities of attraction in small foliage plants little hardy ferns, small ¡mime and grasses which will grow without a greenhouse and will serve for table ornaments. Much plants are often very acceptable gifts, but should be well wrapped In many thicknesses of paper to keep thorn from being chilled while being delivered. A pleasing addition to such a gift is a holder made to con ceal the pot, which Is always unsight ly. The holder may be of pasteboard, or, If the pot Is large, it may be one of the round willow wastebaskets of the smallest dimensions. Much baskets may be had of a size holding about half a peck. Over the foundation, whether of pasteboard or willow, a full covering of soft silk Is placed. It Is shirred with a frill nt the bottom and gathered at the top edge. Over the top fall four corners of satin bordered with gold gimp. At one side Is a chou of satin, from which paaxea diagonally a band of satin which Is secured nt the but tom by another chou. A similar band of satin conceals the shirring at the foot. The coloring of the silk and satin may be suited to tbe room where they are to be used, but for general pur poses olive green tones, light and dark, will be found to harmonize best with tbe foliage. Yellows are also attractive, especially for tbe corners of rooms. Tbe problem of gifts for men Is one which returns with hopeless Insistency every year. It is difficult enough when the gift Is to be simply bought, but when It Is to be made at home, as many women prefer, tbe question is almost Insoluble unless one la willing to give something which Is of no earth ly UK*, hoping It will be welcomed siin ply for the giver’s sake. There are embroidered photograph frames, but they are rather stale. Worked slippers are out of date. A couch pillow 1» al ways acceptable, provided it Is not made of flimsy material and dellrate tints which will not bear usage. Bilk or linen handkerchief», with a mono gram embroidered by the donor, are serviceable as well as sentimental, but the linen must ba flue and the rm broldrring neatly done. A newspaper holder, provided It Is strong and capa cious, Is usually liked und gives stupe to Wake Those a Maa Cheerfslly Wear. THE CHRISTMAS GIFTS Helpful Hints About Their Ifar.u • It Is always difficult to decide upon a gift for a man.

It is possible, however, to overcome his prejudices If one can make a tie which Is more at tractive than the purchased ones. To that end never attempt a made up scarf, whl<h can only he successfully accomplished by professionals. There ure straight scarfs of various styles to be tie<l by the wearer which require only neatness and good taste to be easily made by the amateur. Chief among these are th«* four-in hand ties. These have a narrow neckband and are wider at one or both ends and are Interlined with stiffened cotton flannel to give them firmness. It Is possible to select very attractive and Miiitable meteríais for them at the dress silk counter, materials which are much more refined and delicate than those usually made up nt men’s furnishing stores, Half h dozen four In-bands In a box would be acceptable to most men If the colors were wisely chosen. There might be one each of ¡»earl, sil ver gray and navy blue faille, another of gray satin with tiny white stripes, another of dark blue sathi wltli white pin dots, another of a fine blue and white check. A newer tie Is an Eng llsh style, with very broad ends, one larger than the other. These must be made of silk which Is alike on the two sides, as only the neckband Is lined. Very small figures and subdued colors are always to be chosen. A picture Is given <»f the two shapes, but the wo man who Is uncertain of herself would better buy n cheap tie of the desired style, rip it apart and use It ah a model. ■'W Where do yuu get your hair cut?
