Painted things are specially interesting gifts to make and have a charm all their own. They can be made to express so much of the giver's individuality. Then again they can be made to fit in with a definite scheme for a room, repeating its color effects with pleasing touches in similar tones. A set of six colors in half pint cans in enamel costs about $2. Water color brushes will cost $1. With this outfit a variety of things can be painted, for that amount of paint will last a long time. Care of brushes must be considered. Each time they used they must be washed in soap and water. Turpentine is good for cleaning them, but is not enough, since in time it will stiffen the bristles. Never allow paint to dry in your brushes. The thot of creating designs may rather frighten the beginner. It need not, if he will only remember not to attempt too much at the start. Avoid a naturalistic flower. A flower form made of round dots from the end of the brush will be found to be very pretty and very effective and quite easy to do. A few experiments on paper will give you proficiency. There is a dainty jewel-like quality to the dots that admits of endless variations. Glass candlesticks may be purchased in the 25c and 50c store, and can be delightfully decorated in this manner. Coat hangers of wood painted all over pink or blue can How very, very sweet they look, two of them, each a different color folded in a little box. "One for blow, one for show" seems to be the motto for a plain one associates itself with a very frilly, filmy one side by side. Most of the plainer ones, sometimes colored, sometimes white have drawn threads of colors for decoration. Tiny embroidered flowers are often added in fascinating groups. Frilly "hankies" are new this season being edged with net. Colored ones are edged with white, and then again with contrasting colors. Wee spots of colored embroidery are added. A pretty camisole of wide lace insertion and ribbon can be quickly made. Wide pale pink ribbon forms the lower half with a narrow casing for elastic. The upper half is insertion, with an edging of lace and a narrow beading for the ribbon draw strings. Shoulder straps can be ribbon or insertion. For those who enjoy doing drawn work there are several varieties of collars and cuffs, on which to bestow one's daimy stitches, for the purpose of making very acceptable gifts. One set of collars and cuffs was hemstitched with an inch hem of canary yellow linen. Another was very simple and smart with a single line of drawn work inside the hem, and a narrow edging of filet. Embroidered dots make clever trimmings for these tailored sets and if outlined with black, where the colored material is used, are need not, if he will only remember not to attempt too much at the start.

Glass candlesticks may be purchased in the 25c and 50c store, and can be delightfully decorated in this manner. Cont hangers of wood painted all over pink or blue can be treated the same way. A pair of aluminum saltcellars will take on beauty by means of decorations. Other things will come to mind, such as boxes and wooden bowls, wooden knives and forks for salad sets, once one starts to look for them. Another use for painting is found in decorating a set of oil cloth table mats. For this purpose use the dull finish oil cloth, called sanitas. Blue and white has been used many times and oft, but it has a clean, fresh look that is very attractive. If your friend has a pattern hanging in her dining room, with help of some one in the family get a sample of it. Then trace the pattern and carefully match the colors, to use for decoration of the table mats. When your friend discovers that the set matches her hangings she will be doubly pleased with your thotful gift. Among the needlework gifts women love to make for each other are numbers of dainty trifles. For those of more practical turn of mind gifts of lasting qualities can be fashioned. These latter are especially exemplified in the quaint "kitchente" aprons with caps to match. Sets can be found all stamped on unbleached muslin, ready to work, at some of the stores. But where these are not available, a clever woman can make her own designs with materials at hand. One of the aprons had pockets of 'brown-eyed susans.' The petals were of yellow percale appliqued about brown centers. On the cap another "susan" appeared. Still another apron had flower pots of blue and white checked gingham. Above the pots, on the apron itself grow stiff little round flowers applied with embroidered stems. On each cap for each apron was a matching design. Among the dainty trifles to be given each its measure or hand-work, are colored hendkerchiefs. Get Our Prices Before You Buy HAY—FEED J. E.

An unusual handbag designed for use with a summer costume is one about eight inches deep, crocheted with colored raffia. The bag has a wired top covered with raffia and closes with a loop fastening over an oval knob. A wide handle or strap with which to carry it is also made of crocheted raffia. One of these in dull petunia color had raffia panels for decoration about its top. Others had clusters of matching flowers of various colors. Combs and fans similarly decorated are to be worn with party frocks this winter and the making of them presents an interesting problem to the designer.
