THE SXJMMER CHRISTMAS
SHELF.
Instead of waiting until Christmas
is almost here and then rushing mad-
ly about to purchase gifts for your.
friends why not start a Christmas"
shelf now? Every walk and drive
about the country and every trip
away from home may be made to con-
tribute to
the collection.
Sofa pillows vs stuffed with balsam
have long been in use and will ever
bring delight to the weary city dwell-
er, .Less known, but not less delight-
ful, are cushions filled with sweet fern
and bayberry leaves. The sweet fern'
should be gathered when in full leaf,
hut before it has begun to dry.
The ideal place to dry them is in a
hot dry room indoors. Use two-thirds
sweet fern to one-third bayberry
leaves.
Those who live where the white
birch grows will find it a contributor.

is always looking for something a lit-

would like napkin rings made of birch.
bark.
Anyone who has at her command
an old-fashioned herb garden can pre-
pare gifts which will be appreciated
by any housekeeping friend. Who
would not be glad to have the spicy
fragrance of herbs greet them when
shaking out the woolensand furs in
the fall rather than evil -smelling
moth balls?
The following formula of carefully
ive
r
cried herbs is a good preventive
against moths: rosemary and spear-
mint, each a half pound; tansy and
thyme, each four ounces; and freshly
ground cloves, two tablespoonfuls.
Mix and store in well -closed boxes un-
til the holiday season.
No perfumes made by man can com-
pare with some of those which are
the product of the garden. If there
are a few bushes of lavender at corer-
reand one has material. for many nice
remembrances. If there is lemon
verbena around, it is well to know it
combines wonderfully with lavender,
one improving the other. ' Think how
delighted would be the dainty house-
keeper' who Iikes her Iinens and sheets

receive a bag of this mixture well

Organists. ' ,,
J
A prominent Canadian news r. a,
few weeps' ago carried an hi al.
headed, "A Dearth' et Organists," The
article was no doubt inspired by this
fact that a local church had been ad-;
i vertistng for an organist for some
time—hut without results.
This brings up the point that there'

da, In one issue of a daily paper, the
I writer recently noticed as many as
three "want -ads' all designed to catch
the eye of some person seeking the
position of church organist. These
vacancies prevailed for some time ere
the supply of those who are capable of
the positidus were iliiled, showing that
• handling an organ is not equal to the
demand,
Now, .what is the Solution? Well,
either Canada will have to turn out -
more musicians with special learnings
towards the organ, or depend upon
imported organists. from England and
other countries. But surely the form-
er is preferable', ,T

It is up to the music teachers in -our

this were done, it is quite likely that

poem which perhaps is not so familiar
