For a Man’s Desk
If there is anything a man appre*
elates more than another it is a waste
basket to hold things that he doesn’t
want or n ease to hold things that he
does want. Her#* are both these sen*
Bible gifts, made to match, and happy
is the man who will receive them at
Christmas time.
The waste basket has a foundation
of very light board, covered with a dull
rose-colored tapestry and finished with
dark-green braid. Handles with tas
sels to match prove convenient. A me
dallion of figured tapestry bound by
braid completes this practical and
handsome gift. The case for papers
Is made to match the basket.
OF BEEF HISTORIC INTEREST
An "aviator” coat and cap made of
chinchilla, eiderdown, or other thick,
soft fabric will make a fine gift for a
Something New in Bags little boy. The round cap has earrtaps
attached and the coat is provided with
a collar that may be turned up about onp which. It Is to be hoped. 1
Possibility sf Recovery of King John's
Loot Treasures Causes Some
Stir in England.
The Idea of making use of the elec-,
trie apparatus used in locating ores to
discover King John’s lost treasure has
been put forward by Chpt. Hugh Pol
lard In an English paper. He recalls
tile fact that, several years ago, Sir
William Hope Informed the Society of
Antiquaries that the ford of the Wash
where the treasure was lost In the
thirteenth century was reclaimed In
the seventeenth, and that the land lies
between Walpole and Long Sutton In #
Lincolnshire. Nojv . this treasure of
King John’s Is of extraordinary Inter
est. Not only did it contain loot from
half the castles and churches of Eng
land and John’s own Jewels, but the
crown of King Alfred ns well. At the
close of the seventeenth century King
Alfred’s Jewel, now in the Aslimolean
miiseiyn, was found some distance
north of tlu* site of Atlielney abh<»y in
Somersetshire. The gem is made of
pure gold and contains colored stones
covered by a thick crystal, tlirough
whicli Is seen the rriinlnture of a man
clothed in a green Saxon tunic. It is
formed of enameled mosaic on a blue
ground. The man is seated on a throne
with a crown on Ids head and holds a
fleur-de-lis In each hand. Round the
edge are the words in Anglo-Saxon:
“Alfred had me worked.” Some say
the figure represents Alfred himself.
If so, perhaps the crown which the
gem depicts is the one which the ele
ments wrenched from the tin worthy
hands of John ail that long time ago.
The coal miners and steel strikers
can point to the United States senate
as an illustrious example of striking.

LIKE GEM IN RARE SETTING
A basket crocheted of twine and
dipped in shellac, is allowed to dry,
alter being shaped to suit the fancy of
its maker. It is then adorned with odd
* yarn flowers, as shown in the picture
above, and converted iuto a pretty bag
by lining it with silk and extending
the silk above the top of the basket.
The silk gathers up at the top on a
ribbon. If one cares to present, a
friend with the ultimate in luxurious
laundry bags, this affair will answer,
for it will grace any dressing room
and serve to catch soiled handker
chiefs and neckwear. .
