SCRAP -BAG GIFTS.
Christmas is coming, so let's see
what dainty 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 are
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 for her rub-
ber or celluloid baby, using an old
wooled stocking, binding it with gays Make a doll light, a candle lamp
red ribbon, and a little cap made from•
of shade, a telephone" mask,. underwear,
a torn rubber glove or the pieces
a discarded bathing hat.
A velvet or silk evening cape; a
little feather or ribbon hat; under-
wear that will come off; a knitted
blanket, a foot square made from a
small ball of rose wool; a little white
bedspread—these will bring their re-
ward in a child's gratitude.
• If the men are handy with triols
make a doll house for the child. Par-
tition it into four rooms with tiny
doors and proceed to furnish it from
the scrap bag. The pleasure one gets
in making tiny draperies for the win-
dows, choosing small pieces of silk
and velvet for door hangings and
cushions, dressing the pasteboard
furniture in muslin sheets or gold-
thread tapestry as required, is such as

There was only one compositor in
the Tribune office who could read
Greeley's copy. One day while • the
compositor was out a bird had flown
into the office, walked into sonie print-
ing ink and then on a number of loose
sheets lying on the floor.
"Why," _ said one of the printers,
picking up alb eet, "`this looks like the
old man's writing." So saying, he
fastened the sheets together and put
them on the absent compositor's case.
"Well,"said the great man, "what le
it?„
"It's this word, Mr. Greeley."
• Greeley the sheet from the
man's hand, looked at the alleged word
and threw himself back with a snort
of disgust. "Why," he shouted, "any
fool could see what it is l It's 'uncoil-
stitutionai. "
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."
Presently, however, he hesitated at.
a ward and; asked the man nearest him
what it was. •
"How should I know?" was the re-
'ply.
e-'ply. You know that you alone can
read the old man's writing. Better
ask him."
Reluctantly the baffled compositor
took the sheet to Greeley's sanctum.
