TABLE LINEN" IS ALWAYS ACCEPT- ABLE TO THE HOUSEKEEPER. | Handsome _ Christmas Souvenirs Which a Woman Skillful With Her Needle Can Easily Fashion--Table- cloths, Doilies and Centerpieces. EW table linens are always use- ful, and .the good housewife welcomes :additions to her store with such enthusiasm that any one who tries the experiment to repeat the experiment not once, but many times. Tablecloths never come amiss. The handsomer they are the better, but even a plain one of modest dimensions has its uses. If a woman has time, she can make a handsome one for presenta. tion to a relative or intimate friend. Cream colored linen should be the foundation fabric. The linen should be inset with a band of Irish lace inser tion and edged with a wider piece. The-lace shown in the sketch of the tablecloth is simple. The heavy flowers in the patterns are crocheted separate- ly, and then they are all strung to- gether with chain stitch. Along the outside of the edging a border of cro- LACE TRIMMED TABLECLOTH. cheted scallops is added. To make the trimming ecru linen thread, the very finest obtainable, is needed. Nothing coarser than 100 should be accepted. Two inches is a good width for the insertion, and the edging should be three or four inches wide. For a table- cloth two and one-half yards square are needed eight and three-quarter yards of insertion and ten yards of lace edging. An embroidered mono- gram should be worked in one corner of the linen. Next to tablecloths dollies are the most acceptable linen gifts. The pretty doily design shown in the sketch is a linen and point lace affair. So many amateurs are skilled point lace makers that no directions for fashioning the trimming are required. The braid is twisted to form the flowers and leaves, and the figures are joined by chain stitch. Possibly the irregularity of the pattern is its chief charm, for it is really not elaborate. A rose is made the floral centerpiece, all the rest of the design radiating from that. The two plain, winglike parts at each side of the rose are liffen. Fancy centerpieces also make nice holiday gifts. Almost any sort of muslin may be used to form a cen terpiece if a colored slip be placed beneath. Spotted muslin may be em- broidered to represent daisy blossoms by using the spot as the flower center and working petals round it in outline. This work Is worth the trouble, as it looks very effective at trifling cost. A couple of skeins of silk will suffice for quite a large piece of muslin, and any color may be selected, the underslip being of the same tint or a little deep- er. Finish off the center with a frill of the silk covered with one of the muslin or else with a full frill of imi- tation valenciennes lace. Net darned with filoselle.in a running design, with stars at intervals, may be substituted for muslin, and the result will be equally pleasing. The special make of muslin now sold at fancy workshops is adapted for embroidery with narrow ribbon or with ordinary silks, and as it is moderate in cost it is possible to use it for table centers The Liver, Stomach, Kidneys and Bowels are kept in healthy action by the MAGI Caledonia Waters "and life made worth HNving.

'A natty and useful contrivance for a young lady's Christmas present is a sachet case for the reception of the small linen and muslin collars now so much in vogue. Two pieces of card: board about 15 inches long and 6 wide are covered with any fancy silk or brocade, bands of ribbon being ar ranged on the inside to keep the collirs in place. The charming sachet of pretty colored silk, with a movable square of embroidered muslin, edged with lace, is intended for bhandker chiefs. Another collar case is composed "of Berlin wool and canvas, white and fine. Cut this in- to a large or small square, ac- cording to the size of the case youwishtomake, and then fold in- to the shape of an envelope. On the flaps work in silk any conventional de- sign, such as COLLAR CASE. those seen on old samplers, and if you wish to elaborate the case you can put a worked border all around. A very pretty and effective design is that of shamrocks embroid- ered in different shades of green. They are not difficult and are very effective, but the ordinary lily and rose do not lend themselves to this form of work. The case is now lined with thin silk of some pretty shade, either to match or contrast with the embroidered de- sign, and the whole envelope bound round with narrow silk ribbon, neatly sewed on. The back of the case can be either embroidered or left plain. A FINE LACE COLLAR. A Handsome Piece of Fancy Work Suitable For a Young Girl. Irish lace is all the fashion, and for- tunately it can be readily imitated by the amateur lacemaker. The hand- some collar here illustrated is made from very fine linen thread. The leaves, flowers and scrolls are cro cheted separately with a fine steel nee- dle and are then fastened together with chain stitch. A firm edge is then given to the cellar with double crochet, and afterward the small loops are added. The separate pieces may be pinned in position over a paper collar cut in the shape desired. They may then be the more easily connected by chain stitch. This collar will make a handsome present for a young girl. Begin a lace gift early, so that it may be ready in ample time for Christ- IRISH LACE COLLAR. mas. It is better to prepare something simple than to hurry. A tiny tie end or the little two inch collars contain many stitches. A large design as the first attempt is more apt to be laid away in disgust. A bolero jacket, if properly made, takes two or three months of infinite care, whereas such a design as the collar pictured here may be finished after a week or two of work and is something dainty and pretty. Point lace, collars are very handsome, and there are many attractive designs for this work. The skill of amateur lacemakers is in many cases really re- markable, and holiday gifts of this kind are really in better taste than the tawdry trifles which are usually given. " For the Housewife. For the busy housewife any useful article will be welcome. "If possible, select something that will lighten her labors. Sink drainers are capital things. to put in the sink when wash- ing up. They are quite easy to make at home. Measure the sink and cut four pieces of inch wide wood one inch less than the exact length and four pieces one inch less than the width. Get a piece of fine wire netting half an inch smaller all round than the sink, Now lay four of the pleces of wood gether so that they form a square, or whatever it may be, of the same size as the sink. Lay the wire netting on the square and lay the other pieces of wood over so that the places where the wood joins do not come one over the other. Nail firmly together, and the drainer 1s ready for presentation. A Pretty Razor se, A new case for a razor, which will one.

A charming Christinas remembrance takes the form of a pincushion repre- senting a robin redbreast merrily perched on a snow covered twig. Fash- fon the bird's hody from brown cloth, adding a pair of real wings if these are easily obtainable; otherwise the feathers may be worked with wool. Paint his breast a vivid red or, as be- fore mentioned, work in the color with bright red wool, Real feathers may be added to the. tail. Two pieces of stout wire will form a . pair of sturdy legs. The bird's beak may be | made of painted wood, while the eyes can be fash- ioned of two beads. Affix the model to a piece of tree branch, neatly varnished and cov- ered with wool to obtain a snow effect, and the pincushion is completed. ROBIN REDBREAST PINCUSHION. trinket box in addition to its chief use may be made as follows: Select a deep square cardboard box about five inches deep and eight and a half inches long, This line with thin silk, putting a wad- ded covered silk pad at the bottom and attaching the lid (from which all edges have been removed) to it by two little gummed straps of china ribbon. Pad the top of the box to a nice depth and cover with satin, with which @lso cover the outside of the box. Place a deep | frill of satin all round the edge of the lid, on which a spray of flowers can be painted or embroidered, and your pin- cushion is complete. Novel Slipper Bag. A novel idea for a slipper bag is to get a piece of black or red baize and work the word "Slippers" in crochet cotton on one side. It looks pretty, if the letters are made big enough, to have a few silver scquins sewed here' and there on them. Round the bottom of the bag and up the sides, if liked, boot buttons can be sewed as a decora- tion.
