No Sewing 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-i-used for the edging and decora-tive motif, and of course the scent. One bottle of bath salts will fill at least 20 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 bath 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 cloth before stuffing or binding the sachets. 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 maohine 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. You 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 for 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.

For attractive wreaths, fir is satisfactory because it does not shed its needles. White pine is more graceful than other pines, if this type of evergreen Is to be used. Blue spruce is best for outdoor use because it sheds very quickly indoors. Arborvitae generally makes B nice flat spray. English holly is always 'festive. To add color to the decorations, small Jonathan ap-ples, tangerines, kumquats and cranberries may be used effective-ly. Wahoo, barberry, gourds, coral berry fruit, rose hops, buckbrush and sumac also give color to ar-rangements. As a formula for treating pine cones so they'll give off lovely colored flames in the fireplace, try crude copper sulphate and cop-per chloride in powder form, which may be purchased from a druggist. Two ounces of these and a half-poun- d of wax will treat a bushel of the cones. Paraffin wax may be used. Melt the wax over low heat in a glass or container. Put the container in a larger paa of hot water near the boiling point. Stir the sulphate and chloride into the melted wax. Spread the cones on newspapers out in the yard or in a large flat container lined with newspapers inside. Use an old whisk broom to sprinkle the mix-ture on the cones. When about half the mixture has been used, turn the cones over and do the other side. i KATHLEEN NORRIS Go to Next Political Meeting an with her husband sat next to me. She said it was her first ex-perience and she felt out of place and shy. Presently a rather heavy rubicund man whose looks didn't impress me pleasantly arose and made a g proposition as to a certain large tract that was to be purchased "for an amuse-ment park." My mild neighbor was on her feet like a flash, and her voice rang out as if she had just com-pleted a course in public speaking. The indicated tract was not to be bought, the franchise for its pur-chase was not to be granted, she said clearly, unless it was speci-fied that nothing resembling a race track should ever be placed there. The .ensuing debate was one of the most thrilling I ever have heard. The rubicund man and a few friends of his were all amused indulgent mildness and reassur-ance; they were good speakers. My little woman was ineloquent, but she found plenty of support before the meeting was over, and the offer was declined. Last year they wanted to send her to the capital as a state senator, but she was caring for a new baby and had to refuse. But she never misses any political meeting, babies or no babies. THE STORY of Eugenie Anderson to give about 80,000 American women something to think about. It should be an exam-ple to them, and it well might make them ashamed of themselves. Mrs. Anderson is, of course, our new ambassadress to Denmark; the first woman to be so honored by the greatest country in the world. I never have met her, and until she so to speak put it on the map, I never heard of the small town from which she comes. It is probably smaller than your town. But this I know of her, and this is what makes me admire her and wish that the 80,000 women afore-mentioned would wake up and make themselves half as valuable citizens as she has made herself. She has a family, a husband and home. Many women consider that these responsibilities are enough to keep them busy for many hours a day and entitled to what leisure they can win at night. Lot of Silly Men These cares didn't keep her from attending an apparently unimport-ant political meeting some years ago. Just such a meeting as takes place in your town and mine every autumn: "a lot of silly men getting up and shouting," you perhaps thank them. Her attending that meeting led this unknown, uninfluen-tia- l small-tow- n woman straight up the ladder to the position of high honor that she holds today. But as I say, I am not writing for house mothers, for those busy young wives who have little chil-dren, and sitters, and washing ma-chines and formulas on their minds, ". . . our new ambassadress . . as well as the man who comes home tired, and must find a quiet house and a hot dinner. Not even for older mothers, who know the supreme importance of keeping the teen-age- in hand, with pencil games, and homework, help, and Saturday plan, and care-ful watching of young intimacies and young independence. No, I'm trying to reach those women anywhere from 40 to 65 who have nothing to do. Nothing to do, in a world that is reaching the social, financial, political crises that ours is I She Looks Puzzled Some of them are widows, many divorced, some unmarried, left with slender incomes that just save them from financial anxiety. Speak of politics to any of them and she merely looks puzzled, and tells you who her presidential can-didate was two years ago. As if a presidential election were the be-ginning and end of the mysterious subject called politics, as indeed it probably is, to her. Now my advice to these aimless ladies to to go to the next district meeting; it will be announced in the paper. Go right on with that weekly two-ho- reading to the blind or at the Red Cross head-quarters, in which you take such pride, but go to the political meet-ing, too. You will find it the most exciting thing you ever attended. You will come home boiling with high feeling. I went to a small town political meeting some three years ago, al-though the violence of my own political effort had been expended years earlier on the war and peace and intervention and issues. A very small neat wom-- Women Choose Life of Monks Forswear Lipstick, Men, Liquor, Money MONTECITO, CALIF. With'' 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-dan-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 college 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 because we like them," said Sister Sarda. "For instance, I am laundress. It's not hard. I just breeze down to the neast launderette." ' After the chores are done, the girls study and 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 READERS COURTROOM . . Mashed Finger a Bowling Hazard By Will Bernard, LLB 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 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 ft. 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 slander! 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 fame for the public just because it hap-pens to escape momentarily from its owner's control. No 'New Look' For S. Claus There'll be no "new look" no any alterations at all in the tra-ditional garb of Santa Claus. Enthroned in popular conception In his red jacket with the white fur trim, his red cap and red breeches, Santa Claus was just as firmly en-throned in the department stores, toy shops and everywhere else one has seen him this Christmas. As far back as memory goes, almost, Santa's cheery cheeks framed by a flowing white beard, have been a trademark of the jolly gentleman who slides down chimneys with a sack full of toys. r Tradition hasn't been able to do anything about breeding the proper Santa Claus girth, but it has set a fashion in Santa Claus apparel that has changed only slightly since the first picture of Mr. Claus appeared in a cartoon back in the 1860's. The actual story of Santa's outfit has become kind of garbled in mythology, but Thomas Nast, political cartoonist of the Civil War days, put the finishing touches on the old gentleman's at-tire. He restored the red color of the bishop's robe, that had been borrowed from the Dutch who brought the legend of St. Nicho-las to America with them. Nast also pictured the buxom gen-tleman in jacket, trousers and high boots. And those articles of apparel, together with some addition of fur and color, abide to the present day in the garb of Santa Claus. Pagans Used Holly In Pre-Christi- an Era Holly was long used by pagans before early Christians gave new meaning to the popular Christmas decoration. Romans displayed holly as a symbol of peace and friendship, associating it with Saturnalia, a festival which followed the sowing of winter wheat. Hung on doors or in windows, holly was considered protection against witches and oth-er evil spirits. |
