The dainty colorings and charming
vasdeties in these Dresden ribbons sug
gest numerous uses for such odds and
ends at the Christmas season.
Such a simple thing as a package of
good pins can be placed in an attrac

five inches wide, fold it in balf and
then fold the edges back on them
selves. Make this case a little longer
than the paper of pins. Fasten the
edges at the corners after fringing
them and place a bow of narrow rib
bon at each end, allowing for a short
ribbon handle. This can be made to
match the bureau trimmings and can
be hung at the side within convenient
reach. s

plain white in basket weave cloth. The
white is for the band along the front of
the hood atnd for the flaring angular
piece at the back. Cross stitch in
coarse silk is used to decorate the cloth
at the back and on the sides of the
cap. Rosettes of ribbon at the sides

ished off with cross stitch. Ribbon ties
fall from the silk rosettes.

Knitted or crocheted hoods are al
ways acceptable, and each season
brings its own particular styles. One

than useless.

Indian Names.
The finest Indian names are those
which belong to the cloud clan. All
these names are derived from meteor

hardest of names to translate from In

Eclipse. was always known to the
whites as Hole-in-the-Day. A certain
cloud clan girl, whose name was de

of the slow advance of the approach

whites as Walking Rain-a pretty
name. but one requiring explanation to
