comes but once a |
y A year,” but oli me, oh my, is it j
not astonishing how often that j
once-a-year season for getting gifts
ready comes around? Here it is time
to figure out just what we will give
to our nearest and dearest, plus friends
galore. If these presents are to be
made by hand and not bought at the
last minute, it is high time that actual
work is commenced.
Perhaps this group of pretty things
that can be made at home, will prove
of inspiration. Just imagine tills
beautiful floral-busket piece with its
wonderfully artistic candlesticks grac
ing the center of one’s dearest friend’s
dining table. Could any gift be love
lier? Or perhaps the sandwich tray
appeals as being more practical.
At any rate crepe paper “rope work”
as it is called is most fascinating.
Best of all, while the expense is min
imum, the result is maximum.
Os course, if one has never tried the
work, it is best to begin on some sim
ple article. As one becomes more
proficient, elaborate designs may be
achieved as per illustrations.
For a basket of 4-inch diameter, 6
Inches high and a handle 8 inches
high, materials are necessary as fol
lows : Two banks of %-inch crepe i
paper rope, 12 wires for foundation, j
two extra long wires for the handle,
one spool covered wire for holding
wires together when starting, one fold
crepe paper to match rope for wind
v ing wires, one tub? glue, one tube
paste.
It is also necessary to have a
wire cutter and pair of pointed pliers.
Shellac is essential for the finishing
touch.
The first step is to wrap each of the
12 wires with a strip of crepe paper.
Cut it % inches wide off the end of
the roll of crepe paper through the
Feminine Charm in Dainty Neckwear.
entire thickness. Fold one end of i
strip over end of wire and then twirl ;
it around the entire length of wire
without a gap. Paste securely at the i
last end.
Next separate the 12 wires into two
groups of six wires each. Lay one
group over the other at right angles,
center to center. Fasten with spool
wire. Then radiate the wires two by
two like spokes to a wheel. Caution j
must be taken to keep all wires flat !
on the table else they will jumble at 1
the center.
It is now time for the paper rope.
Fasten one end at the center with
glue. Then weave in and out starting j
with a single wire and then continu- j
lng two by two and when it comes to j
the single wire at completion of first j
circle, clip it out, as it is necessary j
for even weaving to have an odd ;
cumber of wires. Upon completion of
a base four inches in diameter, with
pliers bend each wire up vertical to J
form the side of basket. From now
on weave in and out of single wires
evenly spaced. When the side iff wov
en six inches tall, fasten in three [
i more strands of paper rope. Thest
| strands with the one of the basket
! (making four), are clamped with the
! short ends of the big wires, throwing
the two strands in braided fashion
to cover each wire. Thus is a heavy
coil formed at the top of the basket.
The handle wires are carefully
wrapped with paper, then caught with
spool wire (all wrapped in paper) be
ginning at each side of basket at the
base. Shellac the basket with one oi
more coats.
The dolls can he dressed for pin
cushions or electric bulb shades. No
tice the crepe paper costumes.
A bit of lace is a wondrous thing.
Within its patterned meshes of
immaculate daintiness, is indelibly
stamped the message of feminine
charm. Fine lace and rare em
broideries proclaim the presence of
the gentlewoman.
There is no dress or suit so plain or
unattractive but that it is amenable
to the transforming power of beaute
ous neckwear. No wonder so many
of us throng the neckwear section of
our favorite dry goods store on Satur
day afternoon. It is the eleventh
hour rush to add the “touch that'
tells” to our costume for the morrow,
1 for we all realize that exquisite neck-,
I wear will ever be recognized as the
{ finesse of good dressing.
EVen sweaters have succumbed* to
tlie lure. That is, young girls are
wearing within the V-shaped necks of
their gay colored slip-on sweaters, col
lars and frills of fine net and lace. The
picture herewith shows the infinite
attractiveness of fine lace accented
against a heavy wool-knit background.
Perhaps no accessory performs a
greater mission than the lace vestee
or sleeveless guirnpe with its broad
collar attached. It lends a helping

I connection with the tailored suit coat
| it completes the ensemble.
Every well appointed wardrobe

lace with net guimpes or vestees. In
selecting, it is well to know that
venlse lace is again in favor. It is
used in combination with Valenciennes
or filet lace and net. For Its effec

The importance

in tlie digestion
of fatty foods cannot lie too strongly
recommended and the cranberry
seems to be just the one to serve.
Cranberry juice makes most de
lightful sherbets, punches and frappes
and adds just tlie note of color so
pleasing to the eye.
Cranberry pie need not he men
tioned, for we all enjoy the crisp
delicate crust put on in latticed
strips over tlie rosy filling. This Is
a characteristic American pie of
which we may justly be proud.
Cranberry sauce blends with any
meat but It is ns indispensable to the
Thanksgiving leant as the turkey it

Cranberry Ice. —To two cupfuls of
cranberry puree (conked fruit put
through a sieve), add two cupfuls of
sugar, three tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice and three cupfuls of water.
Pour into a freezer and freeze as
usual. Serve in sherbet cups with the
meat course.
Cranberry and Prune Pie. —Cut in
halves one and one-half cupfuls of ber

as many seeds as possible, as this im
proves the flavor; add one cupful of
soaked prunes cut in pieces, three
fourths of a cupful of sugar and one
tablespoonful of flour. Dot with bits
of butter after pouring into the crust
and cover with latticed strips or with
a crust. Bake ns usual.
Cranberry Roly Poly.—Make a short

thick, spread generously with a lnyer
of chopped, uncooked cranberries,
well sprinkled with sugar. Roll up
and pinch the edge; lay in a buttered
plate and steam forty minutes, then
set In tlie oven to dry. Serve with
cream and sugar or with a hard
sauce.
Cranberries make a very good sub

solved in cooking tlie vegetable. When
possible, use it in making sauces to be
served with the vegetable, or In
gravies, instead of plain boiling water.
In cooking the succulent green vege
tables, like peas, spinach or greens of
any kind, avoid adding salt until ready
to serve, as salt toughens the vege
tables and makes them less digestible.
When peas or corn lack sweetness, add
a teaspoonful of sugar to the vegeta

sweetening or the result will be un
pleasant.
By combining vegetables with meat,
the meat may he extended and the
vegetables nicely seasoned. Take a

into serving sized pieces and brown

a cupful of diced carrot, or more as

potatoes cut into small pieces; add wa

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Paul’s Defense Before Felix.
I. Paul Accused (vv. 1-9)
Tertullus, perhaps a Roman barris
ter, formally made tlie accusation ac
cording to Roman law. lie began with
flattery. He gave Felix the fullest
praise when lie and all the people
knew (hat lie lied; for Felix was one
of tlie worst governors—destitute of
morals and justice. lie brought a four
fold charge against Paul;
1. “A pestilent fellow” (v. 5). Tills
would indicate a fellow utterly base
and corrupt—a plague.
2. An Inciter of rebellion, a mover of
sedition (v. 5). This they hoped
would bring him Into conflict with the
Roman power.
3. That he was the ringleader of a
sect—a schlsmatieal party—a heretic
(v. 5).
4. That he had profaned tlie temple
(v. G).
11. Paul's Defense (vv. 10-21).
In this defense note:
1. Paul’s frankness and courtesy (v.
10). Flattery is entirely wanting, lie
gives recognition of tlie fact that Felix
had been ruler of tills people long
enough to be able to judge justly, as
the habits and ways of the Jews were
familiar to him; arid then, in a digni
fied manner, assumes that Felix will
render a just decision based upon tlie
farts of ttie case.
2. The charge of sedition denied (vv.
11, 12). lie flatly and scornfully de
nted tills charge, showing its utter
falsity, since I lie time was too short,
being but twelve days since he went to
Jerusalem, and half of that time had
been spent as a prisoner of the Ro
mans. His conduct while there dis
proved it—he disputed with no man In
tlie temple; neither did he make any
attempt to incite tlie people in tlie city
nor in tlie synagogue.
3. The charge of heresy (vv. 14-10).
Tills charge he met by a concession
and a denial. He admitted that lie was
of tlie “Way" which they called heresy,
but clearly showed that it was In
keeping with the Hebrew religion: (1)
he worshiped the same God (v. 14);
(2) lie fully believed in tlie same
Scriptures (v. 14); (.”>) he had the same
hope of a coming resurrection of the
dead (v. 15). He declared that he
made as the principle of life a con
science void of offense before God and
man.
4. The charge of sacrilege, or profa
nation of tlie temple (vv. 17-21). Tills
charge he refuted by showing (1) that
he had come all the way from Greece
(v. 17) to worship at the feast.; (2)
that lie had not come up empty-hand
ed, but had brought alms for his na
tion (v. 17); (3) that there were not
competent witnesses present to testify
us to Ills behavior In the temple (v.
19) ; by challenging his enemies to
testify as to his conduct In the council
(v. 20).
111. Paul Before Felix the Second
Time (vv. 22-27).
This is a sort of a sequel to the
trial. Wicked as Felix was, Raul’s
manner somewhat won ids favor,
though he did not release him. llis
sentence was indulgent imprisonment,
which kept him free from ids enemies
while under Roman protection. Fcjrfx
sent for Raul that he might hear of
Christ from him. Paul behaved him
self aright before these sinners in high
life. He reasoned of righteousness,
self-control and judgment to come, be
fore Felix and his sinful wife, with
such power that Felix was terrified
and declared that he would hear Raul
further at a convenient time. Tills was
a most flimsy excuse for not changing
ids life and granting Justice to Paul.
He was so in bondage to sin that he
was unwilling to change. Also he
hoped that by delaying matters he
would receive a bribe.
The Lord Changeth Not.
And I will come near to you to Judg
ment ; I will be a swift witness against
false swearers, and against those that
oppress tlie hireling In his wages, the
widow and the fatherless, and that
turn aside the stranger from his right,
and fear not me, suith the Lord of
«Hosts. For I am the Lord; I change
not.- —Malachl 3:5, G.
Worship.
A main purpose of worship on earth
on the part of Christians, who believe
that they have to prepare for the sight
of God in Judgment, is that it Is a
preparation. Worship Is an education
for the inevitable future. —H. P.
Liddon.
Who Shall Enter.
Not every one that salth unto me.
Lord, Lord, shall enter Into the king
dom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which Is In heaven.
—Matthew 8:21.

Stories of
Great Scouts
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
«- ■ n
(®. 1921, Western Newspaper Union.)
SCOUT CALLED “TAM-E-YUKH
TAH" (CUT-OFF LEG)
Amos Chapman was a scout for
Gen. Nelson A. Miles in the war with
tlic southern plains tribes in 1874.
One day, with Billy Dixon (“llastu" —
Long Hair) and four soldiers he was
carrying dispatches from Miles’ camp
on McClelland creek in Texas to Camp
Supply, Indian Territory, when they
were surrounded by a war party of
125 Coinmanches and Kiowas.
At the first fire from the Indians Pri
vate Smith fell from his horse, ilia
companions, believing him dead, dis
mounted, abandoned their horses, and
ran to a buffalo wallow, a depression
in tlte ground about KM) yards away,
rite two scouts worked swiftly with
their knives deepening the wallow
while tlie three soldiers kept up a hot
fire against the savages, who were rid
ing at full speed in a fast-narrowing
circle around them.
Suddenly Chapman noticed Private
Smith trying to rise. “Boys, keep
these infernal redskins off me and I’ll
run back and get Smith,” he said to
his companions. lie laid down his
ritle, sprang from the wallow, and un
der a hail of Indian bullets ran to
where Smith lay. Throwing himself
beside the wounded man, the scout
pulled Smith on ids back and rose.
As lie staggered hack towards the wal
low, 15 Indians rode for him at full
speed.
Dixon and his comrades opened up
with a fiercer fire ro protect Chap
man in his dasli for safety. When lie
was only 20 yards from the wallow an
Indian rode almost on top of him and
fired. The scout fell, but since he
did not feel any pain, he believed he
had only stepped Into a hole. He
lose again, picked up Smith and tum
bled into the wallow.
“Aiuos, you are badly hurt!’’ ex
claimed Dixon as Chapman dropped
beside him.
“No, I am not," declared the scout.
“Look at your leg,” replied “liasta,”
and when Chapman looked he saw
that one leg was shot off just above
the ankle. He had been walking on
the bone and dragging the foot be
hind him, but in the excitement of the
moment he did not know It. His
friends amputated the foot, bound up
the wounds, held out against the us
sauits of the Indians until they were
rescued by a company of soldiers.
Their brave defense won special men
tion in General Miles’ dispatches, and
Chapman was given a medal of honor
for his heroic act. Ever since that
fight tlie Indians called him
“Tam-e-yukh-tah” or “The Man with
the Cut-Off Leg.”
FREDERICK WILLIAM SCHMALS
LE’S DARING RIDE
Down on the Washita river In, Okla
homa one September day In 1874,
Captain Lyman’s company of the Fifth
infantry were fighting for their lives
against 400 Kiowa and Comanche war
riors who had surrounded the wagon
train which they were escorting to
General Miles’ army.
That night Captain Lyman called
for volunteers to make a dash through
the Indian lines and ride to Camp
Supply, DO miles away, for help. The
first to offer himself was Frederick
William Schnmlsle, a scout. Taking
only a carbine und mounting tlie best
horse in the command, Schmalsle
slipped out of tlie corralled wagons
und rode away. He was at once dis
covered by the Indians, and while urg
ing ids horse to top speed tlie scout
rode into a prairie dog town.
The horse stumbled, nearly throw
ing its rider over Its head, then recov
ered and sped on. Schmalsle had
lost Ills hat and carbine in the tumble,
and tlie Indians were gaining on him.
They would have caught him, too, if
he had not run Into a buffalo herd,
which immediately stampeded. Bend
ing low over his horse’s neck the scout
rode beside a big buffalo bull and suc
ceeded in escaping tlie pursuing red
skins. By Ibis time lie had lost all
sense of direction. Finally reaching
a stream which he recognized as tlie
Canadian river, he knew he was head
ed In the right direction.
Recent rains had swollen tlie river
to a torrent and an attempt to ford
it in the darkness meant the chance of
death from quicksand or floating drift
wood. Deciding to wait until day
break, the scout began searching for
u ford. Suddenly lie heard dogs bark
ing and knew lie was near an Indian
village. He must cross (he river.
Blunging in boldly he tnunaged to
reach the other bank in safety.
Daybreak found him in broken coun
try covered with thickets and in one
of these lie hid all day, hungry and
thirsty. At nightfall the scout, witli
the North star as his guide set out
again. After riding all night, he
reached a hay camp at Wolf Creek, 20
miles from Camp Supply.
Stopping here only long enough to
eat and to get a fresh horse, Schmalsle
••ped on to Camp Supply, which he
reached soon after noon. While tlie
relief expedition was being organized
tlie scout slept —for two hours—and
,\hen the soldiers rode uway to the
rescue of their comrades Scout
Schmalsle led the way and guided them
safely to the wagon train within the
next 20 hours.
