NCE again we are
neanng the time
when an inter
change of gifts,
no matter how
simple, indicate
the kindly feeling
within our hearts
for lovingfricnds.
An article that the
giver makes is
certainly a more
com pi i mentary
gilt than one
Iwught, for we
weave with every
6titch sweet wishes
for the recipient
that untold gold
cannot purchase.
When sending this
silent message ot
love prepare the
package daintily
by putting it in a
neat box, says tlio

Cover the back panel with a prr-tty
figured India silk or cretonne. A thin wad

separately and ilaced on the panel sn as to
overlap e«ch other half an inch. Glue the

AN ACCtI'TABI.K CKiAIi-CASE.
A cignr-case which lias received un
qualiuVd approval is so easily fashioned, so
appropriate, and witiial so pretty, that I
believe the renders of the Journal will be
gl id to see it described. It is a study in
browns. Tako a strip of tobacco-brown
embroidery linen, ten inches lung and three
aud one-iuir inches wide. Uoutid off one
end and curve off the other so that where
the edaes are laid together along each side,
the ends will be three-quarters of an inch
apart :it the widest point of separation.
Initials or monogram In shades of brown

many-buttoned suede glove, which nearly

A BEAITIFUL LAMT-SII A IK.
That part 01 the shade which rests upon
the wire foundation is made of closely
snirrpd whito Japanese creiie. Attached to
the lower edge is a bias rtilik' ol white silk,
six inches deep, pinked on both edges and
gathered with a narrow heading at the top.
This flounce supports a fall of painted lace,
eight inches deep, which is only just full
enough to hang gracefully. To prepare tlio
lace for this decorathn requires- some kn nw l
edgn of coloring, but not a greit degree of ar
tistic skill, as the figuring of tiie laoe supplies
the pattern. A delicate design with much
small detail is to be avoided. Neither is the
pattern to be in relief like Orkntaland
Egyptian laces. A tirni quality of Italian
Valenciennes, or a white Spanish Ine<\ will
probably be the must satisfactory. The pat
tern should be large niui di-tinct. Tie lace
should be placed upon blotting paper and
the colors should be thicket. cd with cum
water. Care should betaken to avoid daub
ing the uufigured portions of the lace.
Should the paint spread beyond the figure
in any place turpentine or benzine must
be applied to abolish the stain. Appropri
ate but delicate colors must be used,
with due attention to shading, and
the pßiut must be thick enough to extinguish
the transparency of the material. All of
the pattern should be nabated, leaving only
the ri!air, lace free. Boses, tulips or other
large (lowers that turn down to form a part,
or the whole of the edge, are very effective.
If, bowever, theedge is independent of the
desiu-n, paint it without the faintest shade of
green. The lace must not be gathered till
thoroughly dry. So beautiful is the work
when well done that it is well worth prac
ticiug. MARY c. EONGKBFOBD.

per, seems to have au increased value from
its gay decorations. The cut snows how the
tintinc is done; the ground color for the
lettering is yellow, the letters eithar gold or
brown. This motto is equally appropriate
on a tchacco pouch, where it may be out
iined with silk or writeu with izilt, if the

AirOTHXB PBXSKXT FOR A MAX.
Men have thoir little vanities and prides,
nud in their bachelor dens or home corners
are quite willing to show they have a link
with the beautiful and tlie" esthetic. A
pretty craker-jir filled for the season with
something spicy an<l ulce, tied about with a
merry-tinted Christmas ribbon, will be aj.t
to take its place to stay on mantel or desk,
with a pleasant thought fur tlie giver.
I'RKTTY LINES DOILIES. v
A half dozen of the pretty leal doilies is a
gilt that would surely gladden the heart of a
housewife who takes a pride In her table ap
pointments. The choice tor the shape of
the leaves is wide, from the deeply dented
maple to the round geranium and poua lily.
If oue has even small skill in free-hand
work, it is easy enough to draw the design
from the natural leaf, if facilities for stamp
ing are not at ban I. Put in the larger veins
to give accent and shading. From seven to
eight inches square will be the right size for
the surface of the leaf. Whito linen jean is
much used for doilies and center-mats, as it
lias more holy and firmness than linen. It
costs 98 cents a yard, twenty-four inches
wide. A half yard will make six doilies.
The illustration shows a cl'.vcr-le:if doily,
wliiofa is extremely pretty. Tnis is worked
iv two shades of clover-green. The deep
edge, shading is done first iv lor.g
aud-short stitch in very light green.
'1 he button-hole around the edse is done with
a heavier tint over a silver or gold cord.
The silver is preferred, ana it beautiful with
the sheen ol the green. White silk looks
well with gold coid, and yellow silk gues
with the white cord. For the shading use
threads of tile-floss, and for the button-hole
edge, twisted einbroldeiy silk. After the
leaf is wurkfd press on the wrong side. Put
a thin cloth between the work and the iron.
Cut away Urn linen from the edge and inter
stices with a pair of small sharp-pointed
scissors.
A geranium or lily leaf, worked in the
same way, ou fine linen silk bolting cloth or
China silK, does nicely for a pin-cushion
cover; it needs a frill of lace beneath, and
fluffy satin bows at each corner in the color
used for the leaf, emma uoffkti ty.no.
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
The I. ye Called limn to Me.isure Length
an'l Height.
Printers' journals have Dothered the prin
ters lately by publishing two puzzles that
exercise the faculty of measuring lengths
with the eye. The first has straight lines
only, and the puzzle is to guess, by eye
measurement only, « Inch is the longest and
which is the shortest of the three lines
marked AA, BB and CC:
<\ 7C
In the other are curves for confusing the
measurer:
The puzzle is to look nt the cut. and, with
out measuring, say which is the greater dis
tance — across the too of the hat or from top
to bottom. Then jmt your own hat on the
table, about a yard in front of you, and care
fully reconsider the problem. When you
have made up your mind, take a foot rule
and measure your hat both ways.

of famous leaders, organization and great
contests of base-bull, cricket, foot-ball, la

entertaining account cf the tour around the
world of the famous teams of American
base-ball players. In this volume, which is
one ol the best of its cl.iss ever presented to
the readme public, those who are lovers
of tlio great American game of base-ball
and those who are fond of the other manly
sports named will liud a valuable mass of
information which cannot be obtained

The writer then devotes a chapter to a de

played the game in the old way and to Hie

Thy writei follows with a. description of the
various games that were played by the early
clubs and the vari.us degrees of iuterest
that were manifested by the people as they
bfcame more and more, interested in tiie
game. After this there is a chapter that is
of exeat Interest to all lovers ot the game,
for it deti-.ils a>l that is worm knowing
about the crack players. In lelaiion to the

San Francisco when it was in tlie beiglit of
its glory and played hi admiring crowds at
the old lUcreation Grounds, Mr. Harris
says :

This is followed by a most interesting
record of tiie vutioiis clubs that have figured
in the annals of the game in the United

the "boys" were received at the various
pi ices they visited and tii« games thai they
played is told iv a most rnWtaiiiing way by
Harry Palmer. This portion of the book is

and pathos of the war on hoth sides of the
line, and of the soldier's life *Binee the war

that brings back the days when the I oy.-i in

and stripes.

jyfjEW YOKE, Dec. 2. -We shall get a
jl-jffljj livl ° weary iv time, I fear, of Clco
*LhL' patra. For ruy part 1 have imbibed
weak tea with her so often that, like the tea,
she Is ceasing to be a novelty. I don't mind
much about the color of Her hair or eyes,
the shape of her face, oval or narrow;
I have ceased to consider whether slio
is less objectionable tall or short; 1
do not concern myself with her thin
ness or thickness within bounds, but ngaitist
the chubby Cleopstsa w ith a snub nose self
respect will compel me presently to draw tlie
line. Cleopatras nro getting admiringly
numerous, but, in justice to the women who
do the Egyptian Queen business, it must be
confessed that it is rather by accepted con
ventional symbols than by any thorough
going radicalism in dress or manners that we
recognize our rulers of the Upper aud the
Lower Nile.
In olher words, we know Cleopatra by
her girdle. She always wears if, just as the
king in the fairy stories never goes hunting
in the forest that he dors not put on his
beautiful golden crown. Thero are unique
girdles and there is the great popular gir.ile.
It is the G. P. G.— really it is important
enough to be allowed to follow the fashion
Of Initials— that is most Interesting. Tho '
Or. I . d. is a ribbon-like strip ol chain work

I think involuntarily of a medieval Cleo
patr.i cutting old chaiu armor into strips to
keep up her petticoats, the knightly Auletes
and Ptolemy not having brought in much
booty from their robber forays.
To put on her girdle Cleopatra cists it
lightly about her hips and fastens it in front
with something that looks like the perfo
rated lop of a salt-shaker considerably more
perforated and greatly magnified. The
gi:_illp ends hang. down. Somewhere iv the
neighborhood of Cleopatra's knees they are
again fastened with a globular somewhat
that might b e a soap-shaker and that again
might prove a handy outside pocket if Cleo

thimble and a couple of dozen boot buttons.
It's as round as an orange that a small
boy has sat on aud flattened and ju*t about
as large. Below the Bait-shaker there are
more end?. Do not infer that Ido not an
jireoiato the girdle, for indeed, its handiwork
is often beautiful. Lillian Kimell has one
with moonstones set in it and turquoise.
Arislides was presumably just, although peo
ple naturnlly wearied of hearing him so
called. Sn tho girdle i.< well enough if Cleo
patra the Sixth hadn't left female offspring
enoiiKh to people all Keni.
With the girdle these Egyptians wear
necklaces, also of silver. The great popu
lar necklace has many rows of pendants,
small and flat and scaruh. shaped, and held
together in diamond patterns by silver
chains. It falls nearly to thn bosom over
the tea robe, which sucgests the Nile -only
in that it cling*. The tea robe, or speaking
more broadly the house gown, is
receiving thn devoted attention of Eve's
daughters. It swings like a pendulum
from the long, tight-fitting princess dress to
Mine. Biavatsky's "seamless robe," which
one at least of Edmund Kussell's women ad
mirers has had the courace lo venture on,
and which possesses this undeniable ad
vantage that since scissors and needle are
never to touch it you have no dressmaker to
pay, and can squander all your available
wealth ou gorgeonsness of material.
This was the special promise of the new
gospel which appealed to a woman who in
the semi-literary circle is not unknown. Her
figure is large and portly, and the UusselU ad
vised her, very sensibly, that she added no
dignity to it by lacing it into a tailor-iiinde
dress. So, under thu advice of the esthetic
Edmund and the personal supervision of tin"
willowy Henrietta, she Invested in a great
many yards of dull orange brocade at a great
many dollars per yard. It so happened that
1 was an interested spectator of her strug
gles, still miller Kussellian direction, to put
on her uncut purchase for her next " after
noou." The manner of the brocade-using
Vftltna and Velvet Rihbrms.
was this wise: Taking the length of rich
stuff in her hands, she held it in front of
her, while her dimpled little datiehter, pre
ternatnrally solemn from ihe effort to re
press a smile, drew down the loop of it to
touch the floor. The ends were then pinned
with groat gold clasps on the shoulder*
ami allowed to fall behind. 1 call
it brocade but it was really im extremely
wide Eastern fabric for which I knew no
name. Instead of gtitcbes it was laid in place
everywhere with gold pins. With pins the
daughter smoothed the breadths in front till
they lnv loosely about the throat in a V.
With twists of gold she gathered the folds
undur the arms to make the semblance of
grcar sleeves. With pins she caught the
breadths together behind so that they lay on
the floor In ati am. With pins in her mouth
she stood off in silent protest and looked Rt
her mother, of whom she felt herself unable
to approve. At her earnest request Mine.
Blavatsky's imitator had suffered all this
brocade pinning to take place over an under
slip of yellow silk, in view o? contingencies.
She was really wearing over the slip a great
scarf put on in reverse fashion to a shawl.
"Well?" she queried, anxiously.
"Mother, you look imtmtuse." It wns said
with earnestness and enthusiasm, but con
tained a double entendre.
It was worn downstair;, however, and
was viewed by the guests with thinly-veiled
surprise. Hussellism has its strong points
but now for some less erratic liouse-gowns.
Here is a very beautiful totlet which 1 am
foiced to associate with Satsuina. be
cause of the tca-i'iips its wearer was fill
ing. The under-dress is of white faille
gathered at thu bosom with a clasp of
mother-of-pearl and again at the waist by a
hell of white and silver embroidery. Over
this is worn a trained cloak of white casb
mere whku lies a yard ou the floor and
hangs from tha shoulder* in straight foMs.
The loi.g overhanging sleeves are loose aud
oi;en and the great ruff at the throat knows
a trick worth considering, f ur it is lined
with rose color.
Here is a tea-gown worn by a hostess who
entertained in n. very quiet way Mr. and
Mrs. Stanley. Her hair is white and her
cheeks are pink, so her robe is white just
dreaming of blushinc. The material is
cashmere, embroidered with gray and silver
siltc in stars. It is cut in a straight-draped
princes?, lapped n little at one side, scalloped
with silver at tho lapping and about the bot
tom. The back is sewed to the waist in great
plaits, making a rosette, and there are two
square coat-like pieces set on in front at the
shoulders and beneath the side-seams. These
are line.l with pink silk, scalloped ami fold
ed loosely over the bust to be caught at the
waist with a clasp of silver. \he wired col
lar is set about the throat like a crescent
moon. The concave of the disk is jagged
with saw-teeth in front, wh'ch elves it the
look almost of gulls' wings, it is vale pink
silk, covered flatly with lace. There are
flowing silk-lined sleeves.
iiere is a frock worn by a pretty young
niece of Fanny Unvonjiort. She is a rosy bru
nette with dark curling hair, so she chooses
a pale green veiling sprigged with yellow and
gathers it about her throat with a yellow
ribbon. The bedice is full and is in one with
tiie strtiij:ht skirl finished with a deep flounce
with Venetian roiut edging. There is a bow
FrtKk <if the. Fir:t D'hutante.
of yellow velvet on her right shoulder, and
from this a wide velvet ribbon crosses to
the waist and is fixed with another bow.
Wl.pn she looks at you from under drooping
eyelids her fingers play with a necklace of
long jet links strung with aiiiner bead-!.
A neat little home dress which drew a
chair to ti e hearth fire for me yesterday
was of a beautiful tint of doe-colored cash
mere. It had a full corsage, with a trim
ming of bronze-brown velvet ribbon car
ried on either side from tlm shoulder seam
around the front edge of the armhole. The
two lengths were then brought forward to
meet in a point on the bosom. Another
length of ribbon was carried about the lower
edge of the Jiodice to the jioint in fiont,
where it coaxed the full plaits down. The
skirt took the simple sheath shape, and was
finished with three narrow bror.ze-brown
velvet frills. There were velvet sleeves.
Here is the frock worn by the first blos
som of our winter crop of daily debutantes
at the earliest of those perennial nuisances,
the coming out teas. The maid was tall and
rather pnle with yellow hair. She was not
pretty except as her eyes shone with the
joy of her new importance. She looked
very slim as she stood all iv white at her
mother's side. Iltr gown was a delicate
Chinese crepo trimmed with white ostrich
feathers. The corsage was confined by a
fquare-ctit open corselet of white silk
framed with while passementerie and tied
across with ribbons. Oddly enough, but in
thorough harmony with prevailing lashions.
there was a white silk train. Tho crepe
sleeves had long, tiabt iace-edged cuffs
reaching to the elbows, and the round
throat rose rather too stiffly from a high rutf
of ostrich feathers.
Call on a woman in the morning and you
are likely to find her in a particularly ;es"the
tif Greek dressing gown of white or perhaps
of silvery gray cashmere edged with silver
embroidery and loosely held iv at the waist
by a long silver cord with tasseled ends.
Such a robe has tight-fitting sleeves, but one
ingenious woman of my acquaintance has
provided herself also with hanging over
sleeves, and these, when she wishes to use
her morning robe for a tea dress, she deftly
fastens on. In these days of differentiating
toilets so carefully according to their many
uses it is often convenient to know how to
double up on one's «owns.
Agnes Booth always looks well indoors
and this is her latest toilet for a house gown.
Over an umlerdress of mauve crepe, clasped,
at the waist by great disks r.f gold, she wears
a princess rone of deeper mauve velvet, out
lined down the front with bands of sabla
fur, and open at the throat, where tho
corsage is edged with n deep la<'e frill.
One of the new models in the shops is a
simple frock of moss «re«-n silk trimmed
about the skirt with eight blades of dark
green iridescent cocks' feathers, and having
two bands on bedice and sleeves running
diagonally. Another is a princess dress of
thiu white cloth, trimmed on the skirt with
filteen rows of black velvet ribbon. The
bodice is of white brocade, the siiie pieces
forming panel folds that tun to the floor,
while the skirl material is carried from the
waist to either shoulder m narrow folded
braces. One finds ti^ht sleeves with shoul
der caps trimmed like the skirt with velvet
ribbons. Are tliero pretty ideas in a toilet
of peach-colored faille? It has n plain skirt
witn a deep gathered ilutiuce and a full
bodice with folded corselet of mauve velvet.

LAWLESS HuOiJLUIfS.
A Correspondent Complains of the Lax
ity of Pollen l,i urn.
Complaints are continually made of the
acts of lawless hoodlums, the manner in
which they terrorize certain districts of the
city, and the utter inability of the officers of
the law to secure their conviction, even
when the evidence against them is of the
most positive character. Especially is this the
case in certain portions of the Mission. A
complaint is made that^the district bounded
by Twenty-sixth and Thirty-lirst streets,
and by Bernal Fleighis and Castro street is
so overrun by lawless ganus that neither
life nor property is safe. Time and again
have the members of the gang been ar
rested, only to be discharged by the Police
Magistrate before wiioin they are taken.
One officer ; attempting to make an arrest on
Twenty-ninth street was knocked ilowu
witli a brick, :ind so badly injured that ho
had to be taken home iv a carriage. Citi
zens are knocked down, windows smashed,
and property destroyed, mid yet there i-i no
remedy. The hoodkims do not fear a police
alarm and defy the officers, and they are
well supplied with hiding places. The. rob
bery of stores is of frequent occurrence.
M;t x Solnm* r Diecli'irced.
Max Sommcr, charged with forgery by
Willard E. Itothwick, manager of the San
Francisco Portrait Company, was discharged
yesteiday after the preliminary examina
tion, held before Commissioner Sawyer. To
support his statement that he thought the
money order, to which ho put the above
firm's name, was really meant for the San
Frnncisoo Portrait Pieniium Company, of
w hich ha is the assignee, several letters were
introduced in evidence. A research into
Somiiier's claims and the evidence produced
against him were in the prisoner's favor
and he was ordered discharged after paying
Kothwick the amount of the order.
