OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1909. 3 fe3 USEFUL PRESENTS. Dainty Christmas Trifle For the Wo man Who Sews Ribbon Holder. A sewins case of cretonne is always appreciated as a gift by the woman who docs her own mending. The vivid colors of the cretonne and the sjrace of the design make it particu larly attractive as a material for this purpose. The case illustrated may easily be maae at home at a very small cost. A strip of cre t !ine is used for the outside of the case, and the iu ,i.!e is lined with silk harmonizing v.ith the colors ia the design. The sewing ma terials are held in "place with .-straps of ribbon. At each end of the case are rib bons that tie it when not in use. A most ingen ious and conven ient holder for the rolls of baby ribbon which are such necessary trifles in the wardrobe of the dainty woman has been devised and is so simply formed that it may be attempt ed by the merest amateur in sew ing. When com plete it resembles a very large .spool of cotton, an J the starting point is to cut two rounds in cardboard one inch larger in II TJ 3 MATERIALS REQUIRED. One strip of cretonne". One strip of silk. One pair of scissors.. Four spools of cotton. Four papers of needles. Tape measure Yard and half of rib bon. Stiletto CKETOXNE SEWING CASE. diameter than the roll of baby ribbon. These are covered on both sides with anything convenient, though white linen outside and white china silk on the inside is a suggestion. Around one end may be embroidered "A Frieinl In Need," on the other the Initials going diagonally. Holes are pierced in the center of the cardboard and the rolls of ribbon and the ends secured under rosettes sewed on the cardboard where the holes are in the the cotton spool, the rolls in varied hue taking the place of the cotton. The hanger also starts from these nr)i:;ts. and through a loop on one end of the spool a tiuy pair of scissors is slipped, the other end holding a bodkin in a similar loop. A MISSION PILLOW. SET OF BLOTTERS. Useful Holiday Gift That May Be Made at Home. This simple and inexpensive gift can be made with little trouble. Buy a big sheet of gray blotting paper, dark gray preferred, the tiniest calendar that you can purchase and a yard of one-half inch holly red ribbon. Cut twelve pieces of the paper 3 by C inches. Then, after taking the calendar apart, paste one month on the upper left hand corner of each blotter. Put the blotters in a pile, tak ing care to have the months of the calendars in order, and tie them to gether with the ribbon in the way shown in the illustration. If you wish, you can make an en velope of cardboard, provided it is thin enough, after the patterns of any MATERIALS REQUIRED. One sheet of gray blotting paper A small calendar. Hair yard of one-half inch holly red ribbon. THE DLO'lTEIiS WHEN FINISHED. envelope in the house, and print in the r --or lAx hand corner in gilt letters 'fleeting to a Friend." Place the blotters in this, and you have a very iilLiMctive ai;d useful present. WaiLi Protectors. One of simplest and at the same time one f the most appreciative gifts which one can make a girl is a waist T.r.-ector to slit over the closet hanger wiii "') holds lier fancy waists. It is the e.a iest thing in the world to make. Take a square of figured silk, silko line or any pretty, light material, cut a hole in the center large enough to slip easily around the collar of the waist and finish around the edges with some pretty white lace. Rosettes of narrow satin ribbon tack ed on the corners will add to the dainty effect. Lining is not advised, as this would make the protector too heavy for deli cate waists. Nickel Bread Trays. Quaint and ornamental for the table nre the nickel bread trays in old co lonial design, showing fluted and bead ed borders in highly polished finish. These trays are somewhat boat shaped and show ornamental effects in pierced work. Appropriate Motto Cards. Motto cards have come into great prominence as Christmas gifts. Pop ular quotations illuminated with elab orate floral garnitures printed on large cards and furnished with rings by which to suspend them are 25 cents fcach. Christmas Gift Design Which Carries Out Siained Glass Pattern. So popular has become the mission style of furniture that now there is a real demand at Christmas time for sofa pillows in the same type of de sign. Herewith is given a very effective de sign in this style that is sure to meet MATERIALS REQUIRED. Three-quarter yard of brown ait ticking. Two skeins of yellow embroidery silk. Two skeins of red embroidery silk. Two skeins of blue embroidery silk. Two skeins of green embroidery silk Two yards of cord A MISSION PIIiX,OW. the hearty approval of embroiderers who desire an odd mission cushion. It is known as the stained glass de sign and is worked out in the reds, blues, yellows and greens. Two yellow petals, two blue petals and one red petal are used in the em broidering of the flower. The buds are worked in red, with cross section in the center worked in green at the top and bottom of the pil low, and in red with the cross sections in blue at the sides. The stems and dots are worked in red. The design is padded and then work ed in the satin stitch. If desired, it may be worked in outline stitch only, but will not be nearly so effective. If it is not desired to have colors, then the pillow may be prettily work ed out in tan shades on natural col ored linen, or the delft blues may be used. A prettier design for a Christmas pil low can hardly be imagined. AN APRON WORKBAG. Christmas Present Idea Borrowed From the Land of the .Czars. The idea used in making this apron workbag was taken from the laud of the czars, where all the women in every station of life are expert work ers in embroidery. The apron illustrat ed is made of one yard of silk, but Fruit F Christm or the as Tree. Cushion Novelties That tlay Be lylade at Home by Deft Fingers Heart Shaped and Doll Pincushions, y fi Of all the Christmas presents that can be made at home at small expense none is more simple or has more orig inality than the ever welcome pin cushion. Fortunately for the woman whose income is small, these decora tive and useful cushions are quite easy to make at home. A very dainty little hanging cushion is heart shaped and three or four inches long. Trace the outline of the heart on paper and cut it out for pattern. WjlA fey-i MATERIALS REQUIRED. Sheet of lightweight cardboard. Odd pieces of silk. A pretty doll. Baby ribbon. Pins. MATERIALS REQUIRED. Two yards of india linen or Three yards of silk or pongee. Five yards of inch wide ribbon. Embroidery silks. HEART SHAPED CUSHION. Then draw the heart shape for the cushion on a sheet of lightweight cardboard and cut out. Two shapes are needed, one for each side. Any odd piece of silk may be used, plain or figured. Cover the cardboard with scented cotton, then cover that with : the silk. Put the doll's head between j the pieces of cardboard and overhand neatly with silk. On each side of the head fasten a bow of baby ribbon by which it can hang. The little doll is dressed in soft yel low silk and gauze wings that fasten on her back at the waist line and show THE HXQ CLOSED. pretty cretonne is an excellent mate rial to use. Divide the yard into three parts, two of which form the bag and the other third the apron, and mark carefully. Hem one end,, then fold over at the two-thirds mark and run a tuck along this line the same depth as the hem. Be careful not to do it on the same side as the end hem. as this forms the other side of the bag, through which the ribbon is run to draw up the bag when not in use. Hem the apron portion the same side as the tuck. Embroider the front of the bag as illustrated or work the ini tials of the prospective owner.

Quaint and pretty are the Becky Sharp needlebooks, completed at so little trouble, too, ' that they are well worth describing. Two pieces of card board five inches in diameter are cov ered first with perfumed cotton and then with silk or satin, not necessarily alike if the contrast is good, though th effect is better if the two forming the lining match. Overhand all around the circles and cover the stitches with a fine silk cord, then connect the two by means of a bow of narrow ribbon and sew in flannel leaves pinked on their edges for holding the needles. The ties are of ribbon, and at this stage very fine lace edged doilies the size of the needlebook are sewed invisibly to the outer parts of the covers. This is a dainty addition to the workbox as well as a useful one. MATERIALS REQUIRED. A half yard of yellow silk for dress. A small doll. String of beads. Cotton batting. Gauze for wings DOLIi PINCUSHION. a little above the head. The full skirt is filled with cotton, and then a piece of cardboard cut round and three inches wide, covered to match the dress, is sewed to the bottom of the skirt. A set of natural colored crash cush ions is a most acceptable gift to the college boy or girl. They may have tops of perfectly plain linen and cords or narrow frills of a contrasting color, or each one may be embroidered, one with the college emblem, another with the recipient's initials, a third with the a class colors and a fourth with a fra ternity design. Gift For Bostonians. If she is a Boston girl or he is a Bos ton man, give her one of the new in dividual pottery bean pots with covers They are table novelties that are pret ty enough to decorate the shelf of the library or dining room. Cover For Medicine Glass. A pretty Christmas trifle utilizing scraps of fine white linen is a cover for a glass of milk or one containing medicine that has perhaps to stand some time. First a square of glass is cut the required size, then two pieces of linen a little larger than the glass, on one of which is embroidered a spray of small flowers or two or three single larger blossoms, as pansies. ac cording to fancy. The two pieces are sewed together and bound with rib bon matching the embroidery, and into this case the glass square is slipped This little device would as a gift bring much pleasure to a sick child or even adult. Equally acceptable, too, will it be to those taking the milk diet. Christmas Hints. Corset bags cf ribbon are not new. but hose with outside pockets, contain ing suspenders and corset laces, are a novelty. If there is a baby to be remembered, a little sack of soft cashmere is a sug gestion. It could be made in nightin gale style. Ribbon corset bags made on the or der of the toothbrush case minus the rubber lining would be a welcome gift when dainty sachet pouches are sewed up to the bottom. For J 1 WOViili re Man. Homemade Offerings That Will Appal to the TMascu line Heart A. Bachelor's Roll Latest Collar Box. ilffi The average male is usually a very difficult individual to cater to in the way of Christmas presents. The de signs illustrated are likely to prove ac ceptable, especially the bachelor's roll, to the unwedded male condemned to sew on his buttons. For its manufac ture a strip of black cloth is service able material to use. As the picture shows, it consists of a straight strip about eight inch es long and wide enough to take two spools of cotton placed lengthwise. The edges are turned in and stitched, the inside being lined with whit flannel. When this is done cut two circular pieces of the cloth a trifle larger than a spool of cotton, turn in the edges evenly, line with the same mate rial as that used for the roll, turn over the one end of the strip and sew to the circle, leaving the open ing wide enough to slip in two spools of cotton. A BACHELOR S EOLL. gew otner circle on the other end to match, then make the needlecase, also of flannel. Secure a strip across the roll from one side to the other, as seen in the illus tration, sew some buttons to these, then sew on a strip of narrow tape across the roll through which a pair of scissors can be slipped. Finish off the ends neatly, and the little roll is complete. Almost any man is pleased with a collar box as a Christmas present, and one of the latest designs is illustrated. In its best form leather is the material used, but any strong fabric will an swer the purpose. The box consists of a bag stiffened at the lower part and sewed to a circle of cardboard large enough to accommodate the collars. The edges of the stiffened portion are ornamented with fancy cord, while a cord run through a casing draws the bag up. The word "Collars" may be embroidered on one side or merely the initials. If made of leather the cords should be passed through slits cut at regular intervals. A cuff case is arranged to match the collar bag, the two making a most at- MATERIALS REQUIRED.

The stamped material comes in two pieces, front and back, which have ends arranged to fold over and fasten with snaps on the front. This allows the case to be opened at both ends, which is often a great con venience. The case is lined with a handsome green moire which comes with the outfit. One skein each of file silk of the different shades is required for working. STOCKING BAG GIFT. A Stocking Novelty. In wondering what to give a girl friend for Christmas do not forget that a pair of silk stockings always proves acceptable. Black and white are the most popular choices for a gift, as in buying colored stockings it is necessary to know the shade of the gowns and shoes that are to be worn with them. If, however, you want something a little more elaborate, there are black silk stockings with colored tops and insets on the instep to match that are new and popular with young women who are not conservative as to the dressing of their feet. What to Give. A little desk ornament consisting of pincushion, clip holder and paper weight all in one. Sachets of fancy ribbon attached to elaborately constructed girdles all shirred and gathered. Smokers' sets in the form of human skulls, consisting of cigar holder, ash receiver, match safe, etc. Wicker chairs made on very massive lines and finished with seats and backs of grain leather studded with heavy brass nails. Small brass tablets about 4 by 6 Inches bearing various mottoes and well known sentiments, these being mounted on plaques of dark colored wood. A Christmas Remembrance Our Grand mothers Found Very Useful. The stocking bag, as it was called, used to be a great favorite with our grandmothers for keeping their knit ting wools in: but, while they used brown hoi land for its manufacture, the modern bag is made in old rose linen with the embroidery done in black cot ton, a color scheme which is extremely effective. For a good sized bag a yard of linen is required, the actual bag tak ing three-fourths of a j'ard and the strip for the pockets one-fourth yard. First take the linen for the bag and make a broad hem with a place for a drawstring at the top. Then fold the MATERIALS REQUIRED. Six yards of rose colored linen. Two yards of inch wide ribbon. Embroidery silks. A LINEN STOCKING BAG. uarrow piece for the pockets into six, creasing them with a warm iron, and embroider some simple design on each of the six divisions. When the em broidery is finished arrange the pock ets on the bag, afterward firmly stitch ing them along the creases. Stitch up the side of the bag and then sew the bottom to a round of the linen, con cealing the turnings by means of an other round of linen neatly hemmed on. Drawstrings of old rose ribbon finish off a very smart and useful bag. GIFTS FOR A MAN. Prints of Famous Pictures Mounted on Shaving Pads. The inexpensive prints of famous pictures may be utilized in many charming ways in homemade Christ mas gifts. A token for a man which is just finished combines a shaving pad and calendar. One of the stiff gray photograph mounts is employed as a foundation. The tissue shaving leaves are clamped at the top of one side with brass paper fasteners, which not only hold them in place, but catch ribbon bows on the other side. The bows end the loop by which the card is hung. On the calendar side a cop.1 of one of Ituisdael's Ilollandish wind mill scenes covers the upper half ol the card. The calendar pad is pasted below. A neat matchbox for a bachelor's room is made by covering a square with cream corored art linen which has been appropriately embroidered in some neat design. A miniature stein can be fastened to the card by means of narrow ribbon placed at the top and bottom of the stein and tied on the back of the card. This can be pur chased for 10 cents. They are decorat ed with sentimental quotations. YULETIDE PRESENTS. Pretty Lingerie Ribbon Holders For the Christmas Tree. Now is the time to make little nov elties for Christinas. One cannot begin too soon to make these clever little gifts, for before one knows it holiday time is upon us and there is a general frantic rush at the last moment, which means injudicious buying and inappropriate gifts. Articles which are handmade, if they are well made and practical, are ap preciated more than any other small gift. Among the newest ideas in fancy work are shown innumerable lingerie ribbon holders. One of the most attractive is in the form of three little maids from school. r MATERIALS REQUIRED. A half yard of black velvet or velvet-sen. Two yards of half inch ribbon. Three bolts of baby ribbon. FOB LrNGEKIE BZBBONS. which is illustrated. The little maids' aprons are made of black velvet cr satin, and in the pockets are placed balls or spools of baby ribbon. Traveling Toothbrush Case. A traveling case for a toothbrush is within the powers of unskilled fingers In making this use a piece of rubber cloth two inches wide and more than double the brush length. Form it into a long, narrow bag to be slipped into a second bag fashioned from silk or ribbon. The mouth of the second or outer bag is finished neatly, and there is a drawstring of narrow cord.

But we can make it look like a charming old lady, So come here if you want truthful aa well as charming PHOTOGAPHS. They'll be ponraita your friends will know at a glance as well as admire. J. D.
