For -women who travel aa well as thosa who stay at home" there are many novelties In workbags and sew ing cases being shown in the shops which are not only attractive, but es sentially practical.. While the cost of BXOB CiSH VOB TBAVELrBTO. these is not exorbitant, any one of them may be made at home from odd pieces of ribbon, chintz, Bilk or linen, which, with the addition of a bit of hand embroidery, make pretty gifts. The shoe bag or case is a useful ar ticle which also may be constructed at home at a trifling expense from almost any material one chooses, provided It Is heavy enough to keep its shape. Either linen or cretonne is particularly effective, the four pockets accommo dating two pairs of shoes or slippers. These pockets are bound and fastened to the case with ribbons or tape match ing or harmonizing with the material of the case, in the top of which are set four brass eyelets. In this way the necessity of tacking in place is avoid ed, the eyelets being slipped over brass hooks screwed in door or wait A convenient pocket pincushion and pin case are bowed with ribbon and set above the shoe pockets. When traveling the case is simply rolled and tied with a matching ribbon tacked at one end on the outer side. A pretty case for the robe de nuit embroidered with a heavy mercerized thread on a heavy linen identifies the long envelope case with its embroid ered buttoned flap as that in which the particular girl carries her dainty night robe. This is made of" heavy white butcher's linen in envelope pat tern, embroidered In .white cotton thread, and may be lined, if one elects. NIGHTDBESS CASE. with a dainty pink and blue china silk, beneath which is laid a single sheet of sachet scented wadding. Every girl who uses baby ribbon would be delighted with a case filled with three or four different shades as a Christmas gift ''Here are two attrac tive ways to prepare such a gift: For the first take a long, shallow paste board box just wide enough to hold a ten yard roll of b,aby ribbon and long enough for as many bolts as you may wish to give. Cover this box neatly in side and out with wall paper or a pret ty fancy silk, first having made as many small slits on the top as there are bolts of ribbon. Paste the covering on the box. and if it is found difficult to turn nYtne edges neatly around the slits do not attempt It, but cover the roughness with a nar row edge of gilt paper for braid. Put the ribbon in the box, first hav ing removed the paper and rewrapped the ribbon aud put one end through each slit so It Is about an Inch on the outside of the lid. " If these ends are fastened through bodkins, for which narrow strips have been provided on the top of lid to hod them in place, it wfll add much to the convenience of the gift ' Workbag For Christmas. A capacious workbag Is made of silk a yard and a quarter long. Across each end featherbone is sewed; then the serfage on either cide Is gathered up as dose as possible and secured so that the two pieces meet Ribbons tie the opening together in the middle, and the bag. is carried by handles of ribbons that start from big bows on either side where the silk is drawn up. A Dangerous Operation is the removal of the append by a surgeon. No one who takes Dr. King's New Life Pills is ever sub jected to this frightful ordeal. They work bo quietly you don.fc feel them.

Candle shades covered with pale I pink baby ribbon in little crinkly loops are attractive and as presents would please most housewives. Perfumed coat and skirt hangers are popular, and so are the ribbon cases that contain the glass tube hatpin holder. Really beautiful utility cases that can behung "upon a wall or rolled for traveling are made from ribbon. To make such an article get half a yard f ribbon that is six inches in width. Turn down an Inch wide hem at the top and along the bottom gather and sew on a jthisTpiece of silk the same Blze. 'This ig,.then divided into pockets and the upper edge shirred. Runners the length of the case, dividing it into sections, should then be put on the in side.

Another acceptable present that can be made by the artistic girl is a set of name cards, hand painted. These are sure to give pleasure if given to a woman' who entertains largely. Thosa In the form of floral wreaths cut out so they slip on over the edge of the tumbler are new; also dainty figures of women copied from some old painting and provided with paste board backs so they stand. These fig ures can carry big muffs as reticules that can be lifted and show a blank, space for the name underneath, thus making them available later for fram ing whenpasted to a fiat surface and surrounded by a gilt mat College Flags. College flags are quite simple to make for Christmas gifts, but require care and much precision In putting the let ters on as well as in cutting them. A good plan is to cut the letters from stiff cardboard and trace around them on the felt afterward cutting with a sharp knife. In mounting on the felt background paste them on with a very thin coating of photograph paste and couch around all edges with many strands of silk caught down at regular Intervals with a single strand of the same color. Couching means to hold the heavy cord or many strands of silk along, the edge of the .thing to be outlined and stitching across it and through the ma terial w?th the single thread in the needle. - Handkerchief Case. A handkerchief case is. a pretty gin that can be made from ribbon by first cutting two pieces of cardboard into heart shapes. These hearts are covered on both sides and form the bottom and the cover, respectively. The broad flowered ribbon used Is gathered on both edges, one of which Is sewed to the heart at the bottom. Then a lining of plain soft silk is. set in, and the edge of "the ribbon is con nected to the upper edge of the lining. A niching of narrow ribbon trims the cover and a bow acts as a hinge. A loop answers the purpose of a lid lifter. 4 Gifts For Fifty Cents.

HATPIN CUSHION. ed a suit case set So many people use the suit case, but have never been able to'overcqme the difficulty of keeping the shoesflpd brushes from rubbing up against their clean linen. There are three different articles in this set all of which, are made of coarse linen. The receptacle for shirts is in the shape of a large envelope, the edges bound with braid, and should be large enough to contain two shirts. The bag for collars is made from the same material. The bottom is circular and made from pasteboard. A good idea is to sew to this a strip of paste board out two inches deep. These should be covered with the linen be fore being, fastened together. The up per part of bag should be ull and gathered with a drawing string. This protects the collars from crushing as well as keeps them clean. The third,, article In the set is a plain linen bag lined with oiled silk. This is intended for sponges and protects the contents' of the suit case from the moisture of this toilet necessity after it has been used. The hairbrush can be put In this bag if no sponge is used. The monogram can be embroidered on the outside.

How to Make Attractive Desk Blotter and Wall Pockets, ' Make your Christmas presents of pa per. One of the most attractive of these " paper articles is a ; desk blotter. The usual size for a, woman is eighteen Inches deep by fifteen wide. The mate rials necessary are one piece of card board of the dimensions mentioned and . a second piece half an inch less in each dimension. The pad Is covenjfc with flowered paper on the lower side and has flowered paper .corners. Plain' crape paper is used to cover the top of . the pad. The largest of the cardboard rectan I gles is first covered with the flowered j paper. The paper is folded over the .edge to a considerable depth, at least an inch and a half being desirable. Its i edges are then pasted neatly- down, ! care being taken to make neat corners, j The smaller cardboard rectangle is cov ered with the plain crape paper, which, for instance, may be yellow if a yellow flowered paper is being used. Four fright angled triangles which are three inches on the two even sides are then : cut from stiff and very heavy wrap j ping paper and covered on one side with plain and on the other with flow ! ered paper. These are the four corners, j Whoa they are covered a margin of I paper is left on the equal sides, and ! this is re-enforced by a narrow strip of muslin. This margin Is turned over and j pasted to the upper side of the card I board, which is to form the bottom of the pad. The upper part of the pad is then laid on the lower part and they are pasted neatly together. The cor ners, of course, go underneath the pad corners. The pad cornersare not past-" ed down along their long side, as It Is desirable to have them free so that new blotters may be slipped in and out . at will. j A wall pocket of paper may be made which contains three pockets. For this purpose the bordered crape paper which comes in rolls may be used, or you may select paper napkins whose borders are In the form of garlands. EATEKIALS One piece of cardboard eighteen inches wide by fifteen deep and a second piece half inch less in dimension. One roll of plain crape paper. One large blotter. DESK BLOTTER. which will not tnake the pocket too long. The pocket must of course, be just as long as the motif of the design. The materials needed are three pieces of cardboard about nine inches long. The length, however, depends upon the design of the paper which Is to be used. The cardboard is just the length of the design. The three card boards are of graduated depths. They are straight on three sides, and on the top they are cut in the shape of the design of the . paper. Sometimes the top line is straight and rounding, and again it will have large scallops. A design should not be chosen which has too small a pattern. All of the cardboards are covered on the outside with the bordered paper and inside with plain crape paper. Perforations are made at equal dis tances in the three pieces along the bottom and sides. The perforations along the bottom are close enough to gether to permit of the sections of the pocket being laced together. Only three holes are necessary along " the sides. Ribbon the color of the flower in the border is used to lace the sec tions together and fastened at the ends A WALL POCKET. ... with two tiny bows. Along the sides bands of ribbon are used to hold the sections together. The lowest band is very short, the 'next one longer and the top one longest of all. The edges of the pocket may be touched with gold paint which adds to the attrac tiveness of the design. " Ell LL the COUGH AND CURE the LUNGS r.

Perhaps our finest human exhi bition of true spiritual leadership and service is that of the Christian mother, and we all may learn of hQ She is a queen among her children, and ruleB them with tTre sovereignty of love. No one es capes her dominion, and he would count it as torment if he could escape. She teaches them by her own- - sweet example to wait upon her, and upon each other and upon all around them, with a service that is not felt to be service, and that is contagious. It may be easy to give money if ?se have it; it may be easy.to grant favors and do deeds of courtesy and mercy ; but to make the atmosphere and attitude and habit of our in most living the spirit of Christ- ike service, as Christ meant it and exemplified it that must be the very crown and consummation of character.

L. Kajbler, for fifteen years a resident at the Springs, says: For Scrofula, that fearful destroyer of human health and happiness, we have in this water a remedy which neither science nor fortunate accident has hitherto found an equal. It is in this malady, and some forms of secondary and tertiary Syphilis, that this water when carried to its full alterative effect, displays its highest curative powers. In all forms of diseases peculiar to females, this water will be found to exert a curative influence second to none in Virginia. I have given your Concentrated Water a fair trial, and say with pleas ure I have been greatly benefited. For some years I have suffered more or lc?3 with Indigestion, followed by Constipation and other attendant ills. Within the past two months I have foond such relief from your remedy tlj I have improved in strength and weight; have eaten what I have not dared to do for a long time, and have done harder work than I have been able to do before for years. Rev. OSCAR LITTLETON, Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, Va. Since 1S94 I have been afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea. About six months ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water with the most wonderful and satisfactory results. For three or four years past I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension having lost almost entirely the control of my bowels; but now I am happy to state that after using about a half dozen bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, not having used any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly recommend your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea. Cart. RUFUS AMIS, Virgilina, Va. I waj an intense sufferer for some months with Indigestion, and could get no re.ief from the ordinary remedies. During the month of J anuary I began the use of your Concentrated Water, and one bottle has entirely re lieved me. I can now digest any diet and am entirely free from suffering. I take great pleasure in giving this testimonial. " . Rev. H. M. BLAIR, Editor N. C. Christian Advocate, Greensboro, N. C. I have used and prescribed waters from several Iron and Alum Springs, but none of them begin to come up to your Concentrated Water in all that f oes to make the ideal alterative, strengthener, appetizer and restorative, t is at once a fine tonic and flesh-builder. Have advised several recently to try it, and always with fine and quick results. In January I had a bottle sent from one of your dealers to a lady, with the understanding that if it did not at once improve her digestive apparatus, I would pay the $1.00 myself. She not only willingly paid the bill, but used a part of one-half dozen more bottles, and is now completely cured of a long and annoying Stomach Trouble. This seems to be the case with all who try it. 35 S. P. HILLIAED, M D. , Rocky Mount, N. C. J.-BL ECHOLS CO., Lynchburg, Va. .
