SCRAP -BAG GIFTS.
Christmas is coining, so let's see
whatdainty gift possibilities the scrap
bag holds, though, indeed, it is equally
useful when birthday anniversary and
hope -chest remembrances are in order.
Every bit of silk, lace, ribbon, left-
over yarn and half yards of material
should be used up, and there aro
ways for the ingenious woman to
make them into unusual gifts.
There is nothing which so pleases
the little girl as doll clothes. Make!
her a little bathing suit far her rub-
ber or celluloid baby, using an old
woolen stocking, binding it with
red ribbon, and a little cap made fr
a torn rubber glove or the pieces
a discarded bathing hat.
A velvet or silk evening cape;
little feather or ribbonhat; and
wear that will come off; a knit
blanket, a foot square made from
small bail of rose wool; a little wh
bedspread -these will bring their
ward in a child's. gratitude.
If the men are handy with to
make a doll house for the child. Pa
tition it into four rooms with ti
doors and proceed to furnish it fro
the scrap bag. The pleasure one ge
in making tiny draperies for the wi
dows, choosing small pieces of si
and velvet for door hangings an
cushions, dressing the pasteboa
furniture in muslin sheets or gol
threadtapestry as required, is such
is never found shopping in town
the expensive doll or mechanical pla
thing you want to give a little gi
on Christmas.
Flowers are used on so many things
now that they are a most acceptable
gift. Make them of organdie, velvet,
taffeta or satinand trim with lace or
embroidery. It is easy to pick up ef-
fective ideas for such work, and both
maker and receiver will be pleased
with the gift.
Beautiful pillow covers for the bed
or couch can be made from half -yard
pieces of silks or linen. Even net com-
bines beautifully with linen—a deep
rose cushion, veiled with cream net
making an ideal gift for a friend'
hope chest.
The porch can always find use for
any number of square, round or ob-
long cushions covered with cretonne,
percale, gingham or rep. Plain backs
of a contrasting color, using the same
in applique on the front, permit us-
ing small scraps.
Don't forget aprons! One cannnot
make the large kitchen aprons from
small, pieces, but the refreshment or
hostess aprons offer no end of oppor-
tunity to the scrap -bag possessor. A
very. quaint black satin cne was made
from a long narrow piece of material,
wide as the width and only half a
yard long. Turned about, the top
slightly tucked at the waistline and
ribbons attached, it became a great
favorite with its gay orange velvet
applique.
Bits of left -over crochet cotton may
be aied up advantageously in making
thi:nch filet initials for towels or
making lace out of short lengths of
rickrack or braid. One girl was pleas-
ed as could be with a half dozen
initials and trimming for the end of
as many towels for her hope chest.
A yard and a half of material can
be cat beautifully into one of the
popular bed or breakfast jackets. A
combing jacket made of voile is al-
ways useful and can often be made
is
with a yard, if the piece is used over
the head diagonally, and short under
the arms.
Don't overlook the gingham lunch-
eon sets. Perhaps by combining two
kinds of material the little doilies and
naplcins can. be made, trimmed with
cross-stitch or applique. Just the
lunch cloth alone, made of gingham
with a plain border or unbleached
muslin with a deep checked border,
makes a nice gift for the busy woman.
Remember the old crewelsvork in
yarn and give everything a touch of
it. Think over the possibilities and
gay, copy the clever work you have seen.
ern' Make a doll light, a candle lam
shade, a telephone mask, underwear,
silver or typewriter covers of flannel,
bookmarks of ribbon with flower end
weights—anything.

A Little Bird Writes' Copy.
There are many stories about Hot,
ace Greeley's handwriting, which is
said to have been the worst ever seen
even in a newspaper office. Perhaps the
beat of the yarns is the following:
There was only one compositor in
the Tribune office who could ' read
Greeley's cony. One day while the
compositor was out a bird had flown
Into the office, walked into some print-
ing ink and then on a number of loose
sheets lying on the floor, -
"Why," said one of the printers,
picking up a sheet, "'thts looks like the
old man's writing." So saying, he
fastened the sheets together and put
them on the absent compositor's ease.
Presently the compositor came back
and with all eyes turned on him picked
up the sheets and to the amazement of
the 'room started setting up the sup-
posed "copy.''
Preeently, however, he hesitated at
a word and asked the man nearest him
what It was:
!'How should I know?" was. the re-
pay.
You know that you alone can I
-read the old man's writing. Better
ask him." !
Reluctantly the baffled compositor
d took the sheet to Greeley's sanctum.

The Sun As Your Doctor.
Have you noticed how the weather
affects your health?
Doctors are realizing more and
more that changes of weather cause
changes In the human body. They say
that sunshine and rain, cold and heat,
are important faetors in our health.
The study of the relations between
health and weather has become a new
science, which is called "climatology."
Different kinds of weather affect dif-
ferent people in different ways, but as
a rule we feel better when the sun is
shining. Damp is an enemy of health;
a
cool ig d bra on a
e
Y a friend. Doctors
octose
frequently q Y o rdor their patients a
"change of scene," and they are now
learning that the benefits of such a
change are greater eventhan they had
thought, because a change of scene
usually means a change of climate as
well. Temperature, the amount of. `
moisturein the air, the freight above
sea-level—all these things can affect
our health.
Not only has weather a direct in-
finenoe on our health, but an 'haired
one aleo. Our lives are arranged to
suit the weather and climate. Bad
weather keepalis indoors, and copse•
quently, in winter, when darkness
hampers our movements in the open
air, many of us lead unhealthy lives.
Another discovery niade by "climato-
logists" is that sunshine has a wonder-
ful healing effects :in such diseases as
tuberculosis and rickets. The direct
rays of the sun on our bodies form .a
treatment which is'being 'given more
frequently every year.
In the same way, the study of weath-
er reports alas become of increasing
importance in deciding the situation of
hoslpitels, sanatoria, and convalescent
homes.-,
