The little g irl then placed this note near the fire place: “ Dear Santa: Thank you very much for your presents. And I always wanted a pin-cushion, al though not very much.” • • • Another classic of the season is the one about the woman who stopped to chat with a friend after the Yuletide services, leaving her purse in her pew. When she re turned for her purse, she discovered it was gone. However, she quickly found it in the possession of the clergyman.

The shellacking process may be repeated any num ber of times as each application serves to increase the durability of the lampshade. Pierce holes, about an inch apart, around top and bottom edges; lace with ribbons Wastebaskets, too. make attractive gifts. The cardboard variety, either oval or square in shape, can be secured in your local 5 and 10 or depart ment store. Cover with plain paper or gift wrapping. SheUac. mount cards Re-sheUac—as with the lampshade. Another tric k ' Select three cards of uniform size and theme—either religious scenic or peasant, etc. Place them in inexpensive cardboard or wooden frames. Take a long strip of heavy satin ribbon with sewn-on bow at one end Attach frames to ribbon in Victorian manner, i. e., one over the other. Then sew a hook on back of bow so ribbon may be hung from the wall. . A useful and colorful gift for the man of the house—especially if he happens to be a pipe sm oker-is the large box of kitchen matches artisti cally “ camouflaged” so Mother won’ t object to its presence in her newly “ done over” living room. Cover aU surfaces, with the exception of the sanded striking area, w itlj strips of colorful designs taken from Christmas cards Paste the cutout Christmas card designs on one or both of the large surfaces—shellac, allow to dry. and repeat process. One of the simplest to make, yet most effective small gifts, is the bookmark Cut out, in rectangular shape, the Christmas card design of your selection. Then tape a strip of good quality ribbon—either satin or grosgrain—to the back of the card so that the ribbon extends about three or four inches beyond its bottom edge. Scotch tape can be bought at most stationery and gift shops in colors, now, and it lends a more festive air than the usual transparent tape. I t ’s a good idea, too, to give the card a coat or two of shellti c so it wiU resist fingerprints and smudging. Two Mocks of wood, painted in pretty pastels, mounted with Christmas cards aneFshellacked are just the thing for the guest room bookends. In sim ilar fashion wooden boxes can be “ dressed up” with cutout floral Christmas card designs to serve as cigarette containers. À A MEIUtY KEN S ASSOCIATED EVEN THE FIRST . . .

Later he was asked to fill out the school's standard ques tionnaire for new pupils. One of the queries was: “ Who w ill always know where you are?” The little boy answered it by w riting simply: “ God.” • • • Invariably revived at the Yuletide season is the yam about the Scots man who slipped and fell while carrying a bottle of Christmas spir its. On rising he felt something wet running down his leg. He said to himself: “ I hope it ’ s blood.” 4 tflerrij authorized dealer îSSg’^ g 'g 'g îg lg ’g ’g ’g ’g ’-g'S’g ’g ’g tg'S'g’g ’g ’g ’g ’' WE W ANT TO SAY THANKYDU MANY TIMES W e are grateful fo r each opportunity to serve you and feel privileged indeed every tim e you call on us.
