If You Haven't the Materials Men- tioned Let Your Ingenuity Devise Something Else Instead. The most economical remembrance, perhaps, for sonic maiden fair to see at Christmas is a chamois skin with which to dab the last hurried flush of powder on her face and wipe it away again, as every woman does. Place a medium-sized tea -plate upon a skin and draw a line around the plate up- on the skin with a pencil. Next cut the circle out. Finish the edge by scallops, pinking, or needle -work, and with pen and indelible ink letter the chamois \Mislike me not for may com- plexion.\ A small, round powder bag, the size of a butterdish, made of bat- ting -cloth, with a narrow lace edge and filled with starch powder, may go with the chamois. Rows of pink rib- bon may be fastened to both powder bag and chamois to hang them up by. Pretty table mats, to put hot dishes on, may be made of chamois skin, fas- tened to a stiff foundation of paste- board, cut round. When the mats are soiled they may be taken offthepaste- board and washed in warm soap suds. Quotations may be lettered on the mats with indelible ink if desired. A pretty watchcase is made of chamois skin painted to represent the front and back of a poppypr daisy, and the two pieces buttonholed together. The same, with a thin layer of cotton and sachet powder inside, makes a pleas- ing sachet. A monster pansy painted on chamois and cut out in relief, with the back of a pansy for the back of the ease, and lined with yellow chine silk, makes a pretty handkerchit.1 case. One side must be left open, so the handkerchiefs may be placed in- side the pansy on the yellow silk lin- ing A pretty book cover is made of t•letmois and tha•orated in brown paint, ill conventioual design- the brown shading into the toec of the eletamis skin anti the pamphlet rolled as a aerell and tie :1 %rah 7;:i coal or ribbon.

Lay one of them flat, and place upon it two layers of cotton or sheet wadding, sprinkling a generous allowance of sachet -powder between the layers; then lay the other handkerchief on top, and with a fine needle and thread catch together all the corres- ponding points of the two handker- chiefs. Sew the case straight through the center from side to side, taking very fine stitches; and fold along the line thus made. Fasten ribbon ties to the four corners, and bow them prettily. No object of household adornment ever collies in handier than a hanging basket, and it is decidedly easy to manufacture. Ono that is pretty and still very easy to make is produced from wickerwork or very stout card or bristol board. This should be taken and cut into the desired size and shape. It may be lined with silk or satin—preferably the latter ----and adorned outside with bows and loops of some phaded ribbon. It would not be difficult to treat a common paste- board box in the same fashion. A soft lined lamp shade is made of four small palm -leaf fans. Put off the handles and tie them together in shape slightly overlapping each other with narrow satin ribbon or gold tin- sel cord. Hang a few bangles or small shells on the lower edges. Gild- ing in very small quantity looks pretty, but soon becomes tarnished. A bag for bonbons may be made of fine lawn or naiusook in the following manner: Place a round piece of card- board five inches in diameter on a cir- cle of the material eleven inches in di- ameter, and tack it to position with a needle and fine thread. Make a deep hem at the top of the bag. sewing twice to make a casing, in which nun a yard of half -inch ribbon. Arrange paralline paper in the bag to prtnent the bonbons soiling the material. When the bag has been filled the rib- bon should be drawn and tied in a bow.

We had in the ear with us a very pious young minister of the gospel from St. Louis, going northward, and at some junction or station or other where a branch road came in to the main line a tipsy Chicago youth got on and it happen- ed he sat with the preacher. He was not careful in his speech and at last so shocked the minister that he re- monstrated with him: \My dear young friend,' he said, fervently, 'did you know you were on the road to perdition?' \'Whas-what's that stammered the young man in stupid surprise. \Did you know you were on the road to perdition? \'That so? Well, by Jupiter! I told that conductor not to let me get on a St. Louis train.
