Old Santa Claus, after reading Laird's Slipper ad, decides with his good wife to patronize LAIRD for his entire supply of Holiday Shoes' and Slippers. GREAT r FRIDAY SALE Suggestions to Those Who Have Not Tet Made Selections. This very odd and pretty "catch-all" of plnsh and satin can be arranged in the fol lowing manner: Cut odd-shaped pieces from pasteboard and cover them with pale green satin, embroidered or painted with sprays of wild roses. The lower, or basket part of -the catch-all is made of pink plush caught into uneven SACHETS AND BAGS TO CAREY. Handsome Jewel rj Boxes for Feminine Fingers to Embroider. PRESENTS FOE THE COMING HOLIDAYS The time is at hand when ladies, both young and old, are pondering over the prob lem of what to make for their friends for Christ mas. Some of them have already selected bits of fancy work and their fintjers are kept busy from morning un til night Others, how ever, have not yet made np their minds and suggestions will not come amiss. Satchets, from the simplest to the most elaborate designs, are so acceptable that a pretty model is always welcome. The accompanying cut shows a very handsome pattern, -which can be copied easily by any one skilled in painting or embroidery. If the maker lacks time for either of these decorations, a verv effective one can be man ufactured of the rich white silks brocaded in colors, with ribbon matching the predom inating tint. The materials of the one illustrated are half a yard of rich thick satin 2l'inches wide, and three yards of satin ribbon, the same shade, one inch in width. Double the satin together, making the two selvages meet, and, commencing an inch from the bottom, paint or embroider on one half a bouquet eight inches long and six inches wide. Line the satin across the bottom.to the depth of six inches with foundation mnslin on the wrong side, and stitch across the bottom and up one side. Fold the top over to the depth of five inches and hem it down npon the foundation mnslin. Cut pieces of cotton wadding nine inches long and ten inches wide, sprinkle them thickly with sachet powder, and put into the bot- torn of the bag enough to have it look nell-roiinded after being tied at the top. Another gift epecially appropriate for the season, since nothing is more frequently selected for a Christmas remembrance than jewelry, is a small box to hold the pins, bangles and ornaments in daily use. Very coinenient it is, too, either to stand on the toilet table, or to slip into a traveling bag while on a journey. Our model is 4 inches long, 2$ inches wide, and 2 inches deep. The frame work is a thin wooden or strong cardboard box with a flat lid. It is covered with blue vehet, and lined with blue silk. The only orna- 7T J 'plaits and corded at the lower edge. This basset is made stm with layers or wnuo skirt lining and cotton wadding heavily scented. Place the old pieces of covered pasteboard in irregular intervals around the inside of the plush basket and catch to gether with ribbon bows of mixed pink and green plush (or velvet) and satin at the edges. Two shades of the green and a gilt or silver cord are very pretty also. Xne cord used in tne above is pale green silk. This makes a beautiful gift. A very pretty head rest is made by stuff ing an olive green silk or satin bag with a cotton roll and pulling it in (to form pnffs) Willi AtLrrtkT nliv vAlrpt TiMinn in fnrm "bands. Suspend with dark green satin or silic ribbon. This head rest should be well filled with soft cotton made in a roll after being sprinkled with sachet powder. Yel low satin and brown velvet also look well made up this way. Commendable. All claims not consistent with the high character of Syrup of Figs are purposely avoided by the Cal. Fig Syrnp Company. It acts gently on the kidneys, liver ani bowels, cleansing the system effectually, but it is not a cure-all and makes no pre tensions that every bottle will not sub stantiate. During the Holidays, As well as at everv other time of the year, Marvin's cakes and crackers are so popular that it is difficult to supply the demand. Royal fruit biscuit can hardly be suppli d fast enough to meet the demand, while soda crackers, Marvin's old reliable, famous XXX sodas, are selling like hot cakes. Everybody seems to want them at once. They are so delightfully crisp and fresh that people who try- there always want more. Ask yu- grocer for Marvin's cakes and cracken Don't take any others. It won't pay you. itwt AT- mentation is silk cord of the same color sewed on the edges, and a second row within to form a line of paneling This takes away the flat appearance, and makes the top ana sides look as though they were beveled. The box is fastened with cord, which may be long enough to go once around and tie, instead of tving as pictured in the model. It is finished with silk balls or tassels. The velvet is cut in one piece. Measure care fully oer the box, so as to allow for taking up over the angles, and carefully mark the line of the cording. The ends of the cord are drawn through and fastened on the under side of the velvet. Do not let them form knobs, but fringe them out a lit tle, so that they will lie fiat. Place under the inside lining a layer of batting, which is perfumed by sprinkling finely powdered potpourri between the batting. This is afterward caught through at regular dis tances with silk of the same color. Two silk pads, perfumed if desired, are also made to fit and slip in like trays, to keep everything in place. Along the inside of the cover runs 4 band of narrow ribbon especially to hold Mick-pins, which make a daintv row sus pended like Bluebeard's wive, while below are the chain, bracelets, and larger pieces Qf jewelry. Very pretty simple bonbon boxes may be made from fancy pale tinted papers of suf ficiently stiff texture, and not too smooth surface. Our model is pale blue with dec orations of gilt bees aud lines of gilt on the flan. Fig. 2 shows the shape in'which it is to be cut. Make a paper pattern 11 inches long by 9J inches wide. Fold it into fours.

Lay this pattern on the fancy paper and cut "it, folding np the flaps along the dotted line after decorating. Pretty ornaments can be made by cutting wood or cardboard in the shape of a cross and covering tbem with different materials. Scrape a cow's horn with a piece of glass until the shavings are pure white. The first ones are not good, and must be thrown nway. Take the pure white shavings in bunches and sew them on the cross until it is entirely covered, then twine a wreath of autumn leaves around it A wooden cross maybe beautifully covered v with broken glass. It must first be painted white. Put some pieces of glass in an old tin pail and pound them very fine, then sprinkle over the cross while the paint is wet Be sure to put a vail on before pounding the glass, very pretty crosses are made of cardboard, covered with moss or lichen.
