Mending Basket for Mother
j .
Something Brother and Sister
for Her Birthday.
A mending basket which one can j
easily pick up and take to any part
of the house 13 a great comfort to
the woman who likes to follow the
sun about, or combine her sewing
with other household tasks. Here is
the ideal type of basket whose pop
ularity never wanes. It costs vir
tually nothing to make, and because
it involves a little of both carpentry
and sewing, is a splendid present
for a brother and sister to work
together on fqr Mother's birthday.
The materials required are a
large flour or feed bag and a small
amount of " and 94" lumber and
a few screws. The flour bag can
be had from any baker for a few
cents. The stamping is first re
moved by soaking it in kerosene
for a few hours. When it is washed
out in warm water and soap, all
traces of the ink should be removed.
If not, bleach it in the sun for
awhile. Then dye it in some soft,
rich color rose, green or blue are
very pretty.
You now have a fine piece of col
ored material a yard square. Cut

Gather the 27-inch edges till they
measure 15 inches ana stitch fast
with a narrow facing of the ma
terial. Sew an inch hem on 'the
other two sides through which to
run the rods. .
Use the remaining nine-inch strip
for pockets to hold scissors, tape
measure and darning egg and for a
pin cushion. The pockets should be
made separately and the top edge
fastened with thumb tacks to the
topof the frame.
The basket is now ready for the
frame, which the handy man or boy
about the house has been making
in the meantime. Its construction
is simple. It consists of two frames,
each 18" high. The larger has a
lower cross section of 11", top
cross section of 12" and a' rod for
the bag 12 Vt", Corresponding parts
of the smaller frame are each one
inch shorter. Strap or brass han
dles should be put on the top.
The frame is then stained or
enameled. The material can be re
moved for washing. .
i Oilcloth Serves
I Many Purposes
A piece of oilcloth behind
! kitchen stove and around the sink
I and tubs is a great help to tho
j woman who likes a tidy kitchen.
Orease and steam from the cook
ing nnd the splash of water from
! the faucets make these two places
; need almost constant attention.
; While the painted walls respond
j to sonp nnd water, they may fade
I under the constant application.
; The oilcloth hns the advantase
of washing down easily with .1
i soapy cloth. It comes In charm
ing patterns, too, all the way from
neat blocks of color to the most
I vivid futuristic angles. It dresses
up the room nnd what woman
i doesn't work better In a kitclvn
j that Is sny nnd cheerful? The
: easy washnlillity of the ollolo.h
' makes it serviceable for window
sills, cupboard shelves, nnd tub
covers. The most mattcr-of-fnet
kitchen can he dressed up nnd
j made enjoyable hy ft- few yards.
1 In many modern homes the en
tire kitchen Is covered with wnsli
.able wall pnper of the oilcloth
I variety. It is Inexpensive and It
snvo labor when the annual wall-
j washing period comes around, for
n soapy clotn ruimeu over 11 "'
a wiping with n clean elolh are
all that Is necessary. You can
save your "elbow grease" for some
other exercise thnt Is fur more en
joyable lhan wall washing.
l'lnor Plates
Strict regard for the niceties of
! table setting Is an unfailing test
'of the clever hostess nnd requires
.continued observance of the cor
rect laying of all the sterling ap
pointments. An Item of particular
Importance Is the place plate, used
todnv in many smart homes.
Tho etiquette of this pints of
sterling need cause no worry In
tho hfurt of the Inexperienced
housewife. She must remember
only Ih's: nl no lime should the
guest be lefyt without a plale In

Christmas Tree ,
Decorations
H
UltE arc several Christmas
tree decorations you can
multe yourself. They are of
all sixes, shapes, and colors. They
will make your tree as gay nnd
festive as you can wish.
PuluU-d Paraffin, Hulls
I Tent n cuko of paraffin until It
Is soft enough to mold Into hulls.
Make them nny size you wish.
From a spool of wire, not too fine,
cut pieces from four to six inchis
long. These arc to hang the balls
front the tree. Before each ball
hardens. Insert one end of a piece
of wire inlo it. When the wires
are firmly held In the bails, paint
each hall n bglrht color with oil
palms. . , ,
Snowflakes .i. a ,'.
Cut n circle with a fo'ur-lnch
diameter out of white -of gold pa
per. Kold the four-Inch ' circle In
half. Now fold this into thirds,
so that when the paper is opened
you will see six creases going out
from the center. Keep the circle
folded in sixths, and cut a big V
out of the top. This makes all
six points of the star at once.
With sharp scissors or a knife
make a lacy pattern by cutting out
delicate designs, such ns liny cir
cles, zigzags, triangles, nnd hy
punching holes. -
Next open out the star, and
brush over It 'lightly with a thin
clear mucilage. As quickly as
possible shake mica crystals over
it. You can buy a box of these
at the ten-cent store, and one box-
Is enough for many snowflakes.
When the first side is dry, cover
the other side in the same way.
Snowballs
Cut two circles the same size
out of white cloth. Sew them to
gether, leaving an opening into
which you can stuff cotton bat
ting, to mnke n ball. Sew up
the opening. Then brush over
Ihe halls with transparent muci
lage, nnd roll In mica crystals.
Hang them on the tree. .

With water colors point the fringe

candy, in the center of the paper I
and twist the ends around It.
Fluff out tho fringe. You can
hang these to the tree by tying
colored string around tho twisted
part.
Candy Festoons
String small, bright-colored can
dles on heavy thread. Select can
dles that are not too hard for a
needle to go through.
Pop-Corn Festoon

threiid to festoon on tho tree.
Pniier Cluilns

through the loop and pasto Its
ends together, so as to muke an
other loop. Continue until the

"So huve I," said Stephen. "Now'
we've nothing to do all day hut

lint later on thnt morning he
said to Duddy, "Wouldn't It be

Jesus, Just as wise men did, In

seems to me that we ought to
give something to him. We can't

"Hut we can," Dnddy said; and

For Christmas
Hy Helen ltleli Baldwin .
T .T '2KB Is another Christmas

turkey, chicken, or duck, nnd Ml
the fixings that go with it; hut
have you decided about tho little
extras which mean so much to all
members of the family, and most
of all to the younger ones?
I have many Ideas for 'these lit
tle extras, but first I want to sug
gest that you let some of tho older
Juniors help In preparing them.
If you do, how grown up they
will feel, and how much It ' will
teach them about the true mean

easily see the many ..little things

a bed of shredded lettuce. Holl
cream cheese (which ' has been

beings placed In the middle of the
pineapple slice. Use currants or
bits bf moraschlno cherries for
eyes, nose, mouth, and buttons to
complete the snow man. Scatter
