Here are a few suggest- ions. For instance oilcloth novelties take only a jiffy to fashion, cost al- most nothing and are smart prac- tical gifts. Desig:ns may be painted with lac- quer, enamels or artists' oil colors. They may also be appliqued by hand with buttonhole stitch (big stitches always) or done with the sewing machine. To transfer designs to oilcloth lay the pattern on the right side of the material, trace with a blunt object no thicker than a pencil point (a crochet hook is excellent), press just hard enough to make a slight in- dentation on the surface of the oil- cloth without cracking or cutting the finish. Go over these indentations with a soft pencil again being care- ful not to cut the painted surface. For sticking oilcloth to wood or other surfaces, use either flour paste or liquid glue. Card Table Cover Use dull or glossy art baize with an embossed finish in black or colors. Measure the card table, cut the material four inches longer and â- wider. Cut a rounded piece out of each corner Turn back a quarter inch fold all around and bind with bias tape adding elastic to each corner tu slip over the corners of the table and hold the cloth firm. Score pad covers made to match are unusual. If you have a card table with a •worn top, undo the corner screws, stretch oilcloth over the entire sur- face and replace the side boards. It also may be decorated. Telephone Book Cover Use pebble finish oilcloth in black or colors. Measure each cover and the thickness of the book. Cut the oilcloth one half inch bigger than the book measures from top to bottom and ten inches longer than the meas- urements of covers and thickness. Fold five inches on either end for pockets, bind with gold braid, ribbon or silk bias tape. Add a cord and tassel. The cover shown in black with the design done in gold with touches of red and green Chinese lacquer. The tassel and cord also carries out these colors. Wall Ractc Use a thin board one-quarter inch thick and fifteen inches long by three and one-quarter inches wide. Shape the top corners. Allow one inch on all four sides when cutting the oilcloth for lapping. Paste the oilcloth on the board. At the back paste a strip of heavy paper to cover the edges of the oilcloth. The tabs are fastened with covered thumb tacks. Wall Pocket One piece of plain oilcloth ten isiches by six inches for the back, two shaped plain pieces measuring six inches wide and four inches at the highest point, two strips of ging- ham pattern oilcloth measuring three inches by six inches with a rounded piece cut out of each at the top. Bind tops of the two gingham pieces and the two small plain pieces. Arrange the plain and ging- ham pieces of the "back" alternate- ly. Sew the bottom of the first ging- ham piece for the first pocket. The bottom of the second gingham piece and the one marked "receipts" should meet and are sewn to the "back" to form the second pocket. The third pocket is formed by the decorated piece. Bind all around with checked bias tape. Rule Holder Cut three pieces of gingham pat- tern oilcloth each measuring four inches wide, one sixteen inches long, one ten inches long and one six Inches long. Bind the tops of the two smaller strips. Lay the six inch strip two inches from the top of the sixteen inch strip and sew across the bottom to form a pocket. The ten inch strip forms the second pocket. Bind and add the tab for hanging. Slip a twelve inch rule in- to the bottom pocket, a new tape measure and a pencil into the top pocket. « • * An oilcloth apron is both practical and pretty. Use any pattern you de- sire. Make it of any design or color you choose. Bind the edges and add tapes to tie straps instead of but- toning them. A child's bib with a pocket will please the wee tot and help the busy mother. A cover for the high chair tray to match the bib is also worthwhile. Chair pads add a decorative note to the modern kitchen. Cut pieces of coarse felting the size of the chair and two pieces of oilcloth measur- ing one-half inch wider all around. Add tapes to tie the "pad" to the chair legs and bind all about with strips of plain oilcloth or wide bias tape. Tie backs for bathroom or kitchen curtains made of plain colored oil- cloth are pretty. YOUR LIST Of course, by now you have made your Christmas list and no doubt "A Book" is placed opposite at least three. Here are a few of the sea- son's oflferings. For those who love the sea, "Pitcairn's Island," by Charles Nordhoff and James Nor- man Hall, will meet every require- ment. E. Phillips Oppenheim's new novel, "The Strange Boarders of Palace Crescent," has every element of mystery and menace, and is the "thrill lovers" meat. For adventure, a tale of men who lived dangerous- ly, "Tents in Mongolia," by Ken- ning Haslund, will appeal to those who like first hand accounts of man's battle with the elements. Warv.-ick Deeping is always depend- able and many are his followers. In "The Man on the White Horse," you have him at his best. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE CHRISTIAN AS TEACHER GOLDEN TEXT â€" "Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. TIME AND PLACE â€" The passage from Mattiliew is the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, spoken on Kuru Hartiu, a hill west of the cen- tral portion of the Sea of Galilee, at midsummer of A.D. 28, the second year of Christ's ministry. The pas- sage from the Acts relates an event which took place at Ephesus In Asia Minor, A.D., 53, when Paul was In tile midst ot his third missionary tour, and before the Apostle began his long work ot three years in that city. "Everyone therefore." Therefore implies that the parable which fol- lows Is an elucidation of wihat pre- cedes, the picture of that day when the Lord will pass judgement upon the lives ot men. "That hearetb these words of mine." It Is an Indication ot Christ's diety that In his mouth they seem perfectly natural, and merely In accordance with his exalted charact- ter. "And doeth them." Hearing Is never enough. Unless obedience fol- lows the hearing^ our listening has been iu vain. "Shall be likened unto a wise man." A man ot prudence and sagacity, a man of practical know- ledge. There is much book learning that does not meet the test of actual experience. "Who built his house up- on the rock." Palestine Is a stony country. A great rock ridge runs north and south through the land, and on It t>he soil Is very shallow. The one solid foundation for hum- an character has been abundantly proven to be the Lord Jesus Christ, The staff of one of the leading Paris ateliers at work on two evening gowns, part of the trousseau of Prince George's bride. Princess alarm a. his person, his word, his work, his srace. "And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon bhat house." The prolong- ed rainless weather is suddenly bro- ken up by the season of rain and of storm. â- '.•Vnd It fell not; for it was found- ed upon the rock." A man who takes Christ for his pattern. Christ's tea- chings for his principles ot life is a man whose life is sate and who shall endure. "And everyone that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not." How much of our hearing Is describ- ed In these stern words ot the Great Teacher: "Shall be likened unto a foolish man.' When Christ says 'Thou fooll" it be-hooves men to look well to their going, for they are facing the wrong way. "Who built his house up- on the saud." He built it in some wady, or dry bed ot a stream. No sign of water in the rainless season, but a rushing torrent as soon as the rains come. "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and tihe winds blew, and smote upon that house." The house on the rock could stand the gale; and the house on the sand went drv:i ag- ainst it with on great crash. "And it tell; and great was the fall thereof.'' T*hat there are houses ot faith being built which grip the rock and which no storm can overthrow, we know of with a glad assurance. "And It came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words." The Ser- mon on the Mount occuping Uiree chapters of Matthew. "The multit- udes were astonished at his teaching. How strange and marvellous it must have seemed to the i)eopIe to whom it came absolutely fresh and new; "For he taught tihem as one having authority, and not as their scribes" While Jesus taught with authority, the scribes taught by authorities a very different thing. "Now a certain Jew named ApoUos, His name was a shortened form of Apollonlus or ApoUodorus. "An Alex- andrian by race." He was born In Al- exandria tAe great city of northern Egypt. "An eloquent man." A man of cul- ture, the word expressing both thought and Its expression in words, "Came to Epheusu." He was a trav- elling philosopher and lecturer. "And he was mighty In the scriptures." That Is, ot course, In the Old Testa- ment, for the New Testament had not yet been formed and for the most part had not been written. "This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord." The Greek verb suggests that this Instruction may have been oral, and hence that no written Gospel had yet circulated in Alexand/i la. "And being fervent In spirit." .-v. quality greatly honored by Paul, who possessed It In its pertec- tlon see Rom. 12 : 11. "He spake and taught accurately the things concern- ing Jesus." Accurately that is, as far as he went, but not fully. "Knowing only the baptism of John." This dif- fered from that of the apostles main- ly in these respects; first tiat theirs recognized a Messiah who had come and, secondly, that It was attested by the extraordinary gifts of the Spl rlt. "And ha began to speak boldly In the synagogue." In the synagogfue of Epheusu, where Paul began his prea- ching setting forth Jesus as the Mes- siah, the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world. "But when Priscilla and Aqulla heard him. He preached the gospel of repent- ance from sin with wonderful power and he could prove with unanswer- able logic uhat Jesus wag the Messiah But of the supreme glory ot Christ- ian experience which comes In the witness of the Holy Spirit In one's own soul to the forgiveness of sins, he had never heard. "They took him unto them." Prob- ably tiiey made him an Inmate of their home, where Paul had been, so that they could have a better chance at him. "And expounded to him the way ot God more accurately." It would have been no easy task to take in hand a man of .A.pollo'3 Intellect- ual attainments and Independence of character, and lead him on to the views more generally held among the Christians. But Priscilla and Aqulla undertook the difficult task and suc- ceeded in it. "And when he was minded to pass aver Into Achaia." The southern part of Greece, containing Athena and Cnrinth "The brethern encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him." He could not have cho. sen a place more suitable for his work as Corinth was a centre of commerce it was a town also of great intellect- ual activity. "And when he has come, he helped them much that had bellev ed through grace." They helped him and he helped them I A noteworthy instance ot Christian reciprocity. "For he powerfully confuted the Jews, and that publicly." The unbel- ieving Jews ot Corinth had tried to drive Paul out of the city and had Indeed succeeded in driving him out of the synagogue, but only to set up his own church next to the synagog- ue. Now in Apollos the Jews found an antagonist equally staunch. one who did not mince matters. "Showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ." All Bible teachers have much to learn from Apollos. He studied the Scriptures and made them the basis of all his work. He was ready to learn from others, even from those far Inferior to himself In natural ab- ility. H« was full of energy and fiery zeal. He was bold and courageous. He combined logic with grace. He was profoundly helpful. Duchess of York Uses Modern China for Tea You are wrong If you imagine that guests who go to tea with the Duchess of York are asked to sip from heir- loom china, writes a woman corres- pondent in a London daily newsimper The Duchess is modern In many things â€" and especially in the ar- rangement of her home. She believes nohing Is moro charming than the de- signs and especially the colorings of modern china so the >.vo teaaets that are used on alternate days In her drawing room at Picadilly are exactly the same type that you could buy for yourself in any up to date china shop. The grander of the Duchesa of York teasers Is tinted In palest peach. The cups have gold handles and round the rims a delicate scroll design in gold forms a deep band. The other set Is of ivory wilh white jonquils appearing like stars against its deep bands of springtime green. It strikes a very Joyous note.

But. to tell the truth Baby's inclined to be Just a lltle bit jealous of Junior who has a bicycle all to himself and who is very proud of having ridden from Bridlington to Huddersfield. some 60 miles in one day. All the same, the Friths say Baby gets in some private practise at home on the kiddle car, and will soon be graduating to a real road tricycle.
