No Sowing: Is Required To Make Sachets Personalized sachets make Ideal gifts when given with handkerchiefs or lingerie, or in sets of two or three. All you need buy for them is hot iron mending tape which is used for the edging and decora-tive motif, and of course the scent. One bottle of bath salts will fill at least 2D sachets. To make the sachets, cut a pat-tern from a piece of cardboard and then cut two pieces of material from this pattern. Iron the two pieces together with hot iron mend-ing tape, choosing a contrasting or matching color in the tape. To finish, leave a small opening in which to put the sachet filling before you finish the binding. Tuck the bnth salts into cotton and stuff the sachets with it. If you like to make decorative sachets with holly, initials or flow-ers, cut the shape of the design out of the mending tape and then iron into the cluth before stuffing or binding the sachets. Christmas Sachets The colorful Christmas sach-ets shown here are easy as to make. Make your own cardboard patterns for the sachets and whatever decora-tions you like on them. The cov-ers are made from scraps you have and the edging and dec-orations are simply Ironed on with hot iron mending tape chosen in contrasting colors. WOMAN LIKES the ordeal of NO shopping In crowded stores with picked over merchan-dise she knows is not what she wanted to get for Aunt Mary, or her neighbor or the sweet old lady who lives down the street. How much happier is the woman who gets her household chores out of the way and can sit down at her sewing machine and make several presents in just a few hours. No great outlay of money Is needed. The presents are personal-ized to the extent that they are not only a real pleasure to give, but also a certain ticket to deep grati-tude for the thought they represent. Instead of planning a shopping list for some of your items, why not sit down and make a list of things which you yourself can turn out with a great deal of pleasure. Some of the items which are made at home are so simple, but so ef-fective that you'll wonder why you've never done it before. With gift list completed, you sim-ply need take out the sewing ma-chine, ironing board and iron, and that scrap bag which is bulging with pieces of pretty lace, odd but-tons, pieces of felt and delightful materials. Just what type of thing can be created with so little, you ask? First of all there are the sachets, then monogrammed towels, pot holders, scull caps for the younger can easily be made at home or pur-chased. Use smaller flowers of the same type on one corner of the napkins to match. These same ideas, namely the contrasting edging or the appliques may also be applied to towels, be they Turkish, hand or kitchen types. If you like, buy monograms and apply these to towels for that real personal touch. An extensive treat for any woman may include two pillowcases with or without a sheet or two, depend-ing upon the extent of the gift you want to give. Vou make or buy the pillowcases, and add a personal and colorful note to them by sewing a contrasting small floral print to the top opening of the pillowcase. The same edging applied to the Do Christmas shopping at home . . . set, soft toys or clothing for the new arrivals, hostess aprons or luncheon mats or cloths for almost any woman friend. What about clothing bags for lingerie or linens? These may be made with the plastics and bound with a tape either sewed or pressed on. What about a clever clothespin bag made in an apron style for the lady next door? You can use rem-nants from a shirt for the apron and the pockets which hold the pins can be cut from still another shirt rem-nant. The waistband to the apron may also be made from the con- - trasting material. Women Appreciate Items Made for their Homes What women would not be com-pletely thrilled with a wispy organ-die table cloth and napkins to match? Yet how difficult --is this to put together? You need only do simple hems on the cloth, making them wide lor a luxurious touch. Or, place in the hem, use contrast-ing material and color. If the organdie cloth has a simple, but wide hem, say an Inch to an inch and one half, it may be decor-ated with flower appliques which and add personality to presents. top hem of the sheet so that it can be turned over the blanket. Here's an idea that adds life to sheets as well as a colorful note to the pres-ent. Decorative pillows are a wel-come present if they are done in the proper color scheme. Study the home to which the pil-lows are going and solve the prob-lem of color. The pillows may be made from discarded pillows of your own, thus providing proper Mighty Cold Wind as well as Arctic cold makes the north' a savage land.

LYNN SAYS: Solve Food Problems With Simple Remedies If you've had trouble frying ham-burgers just as you like them, try sprinkling the skillet with salt be-fore putting the patties in it. The meat tastes better, too! Those who make orange cake are frequently disappointed that the cake is not as "orange" tasting as it should be. Try substituting orange juice for the milk, and be certain the recipe calls for some grated orange rind. Grapefruit sometimes insists on being a little on the sour side when you'd like a natural sweetness. Sweeten with honey rather than sugar for most effectiveness. Moisten herbs in a little salad oil before combini.-.- them with other foods if you want to point up rath-er than mask their flavor. ' Do you throw out a lot of old coffee in your home?

Women Choose Life of Monks Forswear Lipstick, Men, Liquor, Money MONTECITO, CALIF.-W- ith an electric kitchen and outgoing laun-dry, nine young, lipstickless women are being monks in the foothills be-hind Montecito. The nine are members of the Ven-dant- a society of southern California, a monastic order stemming from an ancient Hindu philosophy. Their convent consists of three ranch type buildings and a chapel set in beautiful flower gardens. It was once the 30 acre estate of the late Spencer Kellogg, a student of Ven-dant- a. Each of the girls has a private room. The spacious main house is luxuriantly furnished. It has a grand piano. The principles of the girls' monas-tery can be paraphrased as these: No lipstick. No liquor. No men. No money. The first two are to make the third one easier. Maybe the fourth one helps, too. The girls wear yellow monkcloth dresses and are called by Hindu names. Three are collene graduates. Two are divorcees. All must study five years before taking the vows of sisterhood. In the convent, as Sarda, the eld-er sister, puts it, the members seek "divinity of mankind in a simple life of intellectual study and spiritual discipline." No one is in charge of the monas-tery. Once a month the members meet to decide on work assign-ments. "Most of the time we keep the same jobs which we have becauso we like them," said Sister Sarda. "For instance, I am laundress. It's not hard. I just breeze down to the nearest launderette." After the chores are done, the girls study apd read. "There is no censorship of literature here," said Sister Sarda, "but we do not read dime novels." One requirement is that the girls meditate three hours daily. They may direct their meditation to what-ever is their conception of God. Another rule bans talk after 9:30 p.m. The rules are There is no such thing as punish-ment. . THE READER'S COURTROOM . Mashed Finger a Bowling Hazard By Will Bernard, LL.B If a Bowler Gets His Fingers Pinched, May He Collect Damages? Three young men went to a bowl-ing alley and started to roll a game. Halfway through the contest, one youth decided he would like to use a lighter ball. He found one, plugged in his fingers, and started to lift it out of the rack. Just then another ball, returning from the Must a Judge Grant a Divorce Even if He Thinks There is Hope For a Reconciliation? A man deserted his wife and she sued him for divorce. At the trial the man showed up and announced that he was "a changed man." He assured the judge that time would soon bring about a reconciliation. However, when the wife proved adamant, the judge awarded her a decree. His Honor said that, even if he thought there might be a re-conciliation, he had to grant the wife's demand anyhow. He ex-plained that, once she had proven her case for a divorce, he had to give it to her. If Your Canary Escapes, Does it Still "Belong" to You? A bachelor had a tame canary named "Sweetie." One day the bird escaped from its cage and flut-tered to the street. There an alert neighbor caught it, took it into his house, and stubbornly refused to Jilll alley, smacked into the row and pinched the youth's finger. The in-jury was so severe that he later filed a damage suit against the proprietor. However, the court de-nied his claim. The judge figured that, since this kind of accident was a normal hazard of the game, the proprietor should not be held responsible for it. A widow lived with her two grown daughters, next door to an auto mechanic. One evening the auto mechanic got drunk, and then went for a walk down the block. When he encountered the widow on the sidewalk, he burst into a torrent of abuse accusing her and her daughters of immoral conduct. The next day the widow filed suit for slander. The mechanic pleaded that he had been too drunk to realize what he was saying, but the court held him liable. The judge said that slander is still slanderl give it back. But when the bachelor sued, the court ordered the neigh-bor to restore the canary to its original owner. The judge figured that a creature tame as "Sweetie" should not be considered fair game for the public just because it hap-pens to escape momentarily from its owner's control. |
