TEhr e Kin. are macfe Home 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 ham) to the Tuxedo sweater, while in I connection with the tailored suit coat | it completes the ensemble. Every well appointed wardrobe should Include various versions of 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 [ tiveness, refer to the vestee illustrated I herewith. Irish crochet lace is at a high pitch l of popularity, so is filet. Soft ecru j tinting is preferred, and plenteous fine tucked net is used In connection with all lace and sheer embroidery. Deft fingers are fashioning the love ; Rest sort of collar and cuffs out of J scraps of lace, transparent organdie j embroidery, medallions and point l d’esprlt net. Gifted with artistry of designing, one j can produce exquisite results. ccffBOMT *v veyrus nprv*nt wioh THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT.

The importance of a sharp acid fruit which aids 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 self. 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 ries; wash under tlie tap to remove 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 biseuit dough, roll it out one-half inch 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 stitute for candied cherries. Take two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of water, cook until the sugar is dis solved. then add a handful of whole cranberries. Cook carefully, drain and dry. The final Issue standoth sure. When right and wrong in conflict meet; Who fight for right may be laid low, But right knows no defeat. ECONOMICAL IDEAS AND DISHES. All liquids in which vegetables are boiled should lie saved, except perhaps potato water, and is good for is ~ « in setting buck wheat cakes. This vegetable water H RS is rich in mineral j) matters, whl c h ' have been d is 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 ble while cooking; do not overdo the 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 pound of a good cut of mutton, cut It into serving sized pieces and brown well on all sides, seasoning well. Add a cupful of diced carrot, or more as one likes, a finely minced onion and potatoes cut into small pieces; add wa ter, boiling hot, and cook, tightly cov ered, on tlie back of tlie stove for two or three hours. Potato muffins are prepared by fill ing well greased muffin pans with mushed potato and baking until brown. Slip out of the muffin pans and garnish a platter of fish with the pota to muffins and sprigs of parsley and lemon. Hot Water Pastry.—Take one cupful of lard, one-half cupful of boiling wa ter, one teaspoonful of salt and, when well mixed, stir in three cupfuls of < flour. Mix well and set away on ice to chill. Roll out as usual. This makes pastry for two covered pies and one crust. Prune Salad. —Soak one-half pound of prunes over night and then simmer until tender. When cold, pit them and stuff with walnut meats. Shred a bunch of lettuce, make nests and on each place four or five prunes. Cover with mayonnaise and serve. Cold boiled sweetened rice, served with bananas and cream, makes a good dessert. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTOIATIONAL SimdaySchool T Lesson 1 (By REV. L\ R. FITZWATER, D.

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.
