BE OF GOOD CHEER:—
And when the disciples saw
Him walking on the sea, they
were troubled, saying, It is a
spirit: and they cried out for
fear. But straightway Jesus
spake unto them, saying, Be
of good cheer: it is I, be not
afraid. Matt. 14:26-27.
RECONCILE THY GIFT:
—Therefore, if thou bring thy
gift to the altar, and there re-
memberest that thy brother
hath aught against thee;
Leave there they gift before
the altar, and go thy way;
first ■ be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come and
offer thy gift. Matt. 5:23-24.
JESUS IN GALILEE:—
And Jesus went about all Gali-
lee, teaching in their syna-
gogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness
and all manner of disease
among the people. Matt. 4:23.

Christmas Gifts ■
‘'Oh! What pretty, dainty things we
can make this year,” Puss said to me
the other day.
Yes, but we must get busy and have
them all ready to wrap as soon as pos-
sible,” I answered.
Here are the things we made:
First, a pair of adorable dolls called
“Mitzi” and “Ritzi,” that are the rage in
Paris now. They were for a friend who
loYes to decorate her car in the latest
fad. The bodies are cut on simple de-
sign for head, arms and legs. The back
and front are sewed together and they
are stuffed with cotton, sawdust or
rags. A funny face is painted on. They
are dressed in pajama coat
and pants. In line with the o
popular fad of black ana
white they are dressed in all
white with large black but-
tons or reverse colors. Long,
bushy fringed collars and
stocking caps complete the
doll.
A clever and unique powder
box and puff cover is made
in the following way: Sew
. together 3 yards of dainty pink or
blue %-inch wide ribbon. Draw in to
fit around the outside of a tea-ball tin
box, forming a ruffle at the top and
bottom. Sew a gold lace frill i/o-ymM
long under the lower ruffle. To make
the cover, sew % yard of gold lace
around a buckram disc 3 inches in diam-
eter. Decorate the top with a rose or
other artificial flower. For the handle,
cover a slender stock of desired length
with a shirred ribbon and sew one end
under the top flower. Tack a powder
puff under the disc.
Dainty garters are always a lovely
gift for a lovely lady. So we made many
different designs. It takes about twelve
-inches of rubber for each garter. One
s pretty design for covering is to choose
two different colored ribbons, using one
color for the inside and the other for
the outside. If you wish to have a ruffle
at the top and bottom it is necessary to
select ribbon together, being sure to
leave ample room to run the rubber
through. Decorate with ribbon flowers
or the dainty hand-painted buttons so
much in vogue. Another pretty design
is to select a ribbon a trifle wider than
the rubber and then a narrow ribbon-of
harmonizing color and have hemstitched
onto the wider one for a ruffle at top
and bottom. There are many others,
too, that I am sure you can design your-
self.
A dainty and pretty pin cushion is
so easy to make. All stores
carry a supply ready, to be
dressed. By sewing a dainty
) lace edge to a two-inch ribbon
Y\|ind combining two or three
rowsT sewing together where
lace and ribbon meet, you will
have an unusual dress. Gath-
er around the waist and deco-
rate in front with a tiny flow-
er corsage.
Another gift welcomed by every girl
or woman is a satchet bag. We made a
novel one like this. Sew two pieces qtf
three-inch ribbon 3i/2 or 4 inches long
together with a piece of cotton the same
size which has been generously sprin-
kled with sachet on the inside. Bind with
a narrow ribbon of the same color but of
a deeper shade, and have hemstitched
if you desire. Make three of these the
same size and of the same color of differ-
ent shades. It is lovely to use a differ-
ent scent of sachet for each packet of
the three. When they are all finished,
tie together with a ribbon the same as
the binding and decorate with a little
bouquet.
We made an adorable flower vase out
of an old olive bottle by covering with
silver net. Place a buckram disc 3 inches
in diameter on the bottom of the bottle,
fastening them together by sewing
through the silver lace. Sew puffing
around the mouth of the bottle, using
•V8 yard of narrow ribbon. Also use y2
yard of the same ribbon to sew puff-
ing on inner and outer edge of disc.
Fasten a spray of flowers to cover
where lace comes together.
There are so many adorable pillows
this year, and we had such a wide choice,
it was very hard to choose which was
the prettiest. One we made
was a heart shape. We
gathered yards and yards
of pretty ribbon, which we
stitched on the pillow, that
had been previously cov-
ever, starting at the outer
edge and following the
shape, worked to the inside. It is
best to pin on first and then sew—
you can judge the placing of the ribbon
better. In the center we chose a pretty
artificial flower of harmonizing shades.
We also made one that was oblong and
for the top we wove two harmonizing
shades of ribbon, 2 inches wide, to-
gether, making it look like a checker-
board. We tacked it here and there to
hold the squares together. We used a
satin back and a ruffle of ribbon for the
outer edge. If you have a knack for
painting, you could make one with a
painted figure ill the center of a heart-
shaped pillow and finished with a ruffle
on the outside, or an oblong or square
shape with dainty flowers in the corners
and a ruffle or not, just as you choose.
Ruffles may be made of lace or ribbon.
A very unusual candy box we made
with ribbon and flowers. We selected
a small tin box and enameled it with
green paint. After this was thoroughly
dry, we ruffled several yards of one-inch
ribbon just a little. Then, with a ruler
laid across the top from every
direction, we dotted off a lit-
tle space, starting from the
outer edge, just a little under
an inch wide. We worked to-
ward the center, marking
spaces of the same width. Af-
ter we had made these all
around the box, we connected
them with a fine line to make
circles. On these lines we put
a thin line of liquid glue.
Then we put our ribbon around and
around the top, pressing the ribbon on
with our fingers. Be sure and start
each row in the same line, glueing the
ends together. When it is all on, finish
in the center with a flower and let a
spray cover the joined ends. If you
would like it better, cover the box com-
pletely with a satin foundation (use a
square or oblong box), and then deco-
rate with ruffled ribbon, glued on.
Puss and I are happy with our little
gifts and anticipate a very Merry
Christmas time.
Christmas With the
Johnny Eebs
(Continued from Page 2.)
the Christmas season with his family.
Never was man happier than when he
hurried home, through bottoms and over
hills to loved ones from whom he had
been parted so long, and never was there
a greater Christmas gift to wife or chil-
dren than when husband and father un-
expectedly opened the door of his little
home on Christmas Eve or Christmas
day. Many soldiers who were fur4
loughed walked all day and far into the
night, with feet sore and bleeding, in or-
der to make a Christmas gift, of his
to those who were dearer to
life.
one to whom the an-
a furlough, like the ap-
of the Dead sea, turned
on the lips. He was a
of mine. His regi-
was encamped about
fifty miles from his home. He
was not feeling well, and as
Christmas was only a few
days in the future, he was
given a parole and permitted
to go home and remain there
until fit for service. Though feel-
ing very badly, the hopes of spending
Christmas at home revived his spirits
and gave new strength to his body. Joy-
fully he began the journey homeward,
riding when a ride could be had, and
walking when there was no other means
of travel. But before reaching home the
disease which had been preying upon
his frame came to full flower, and he
developed a genuine case of smallpox.
This malady was far more dreaded and
much more fatal then than now, and its
appearance threw an entire community
into a frenzy of excitement and fear.
Though he was in sight of . his home, for
which his heart had long yearned, it
would not do to hazard the lives of his
loved ones by taking the awful malady
to them. His condition became known
and an immune conducted him to a cab-
in, where he was nursed and fed until
the disease disappeared.
The gray line of the Confederacy is
now a very thin line. Only a few of
those who fought under Lee, Jackson
and Bragg are with us, and only a few
of the heroines who kept watch over
the homes and children while husbands,
brothers and sons bared their breasts to
bayonets, shot and shell in defense of
their native land remain. Their mem-
ory of the Christmas times of the early
sixties is not a pleasant
retrospection, but their
heroism and sacrifices
make golden the pages of
the Southland’s history.
Christmas is with us
again, the last Christmas
that many of these Ze-
roes and heroines will spend on earth.
And may it be as joyful and as peaceful
as their \var-time days were stormy and
heart-rending.

THE GIFT OF PEACE:—-Peace I
leave with you, my peace I give unto
you: not as the world giveth, give I unto
you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.—John 14:27.
