pi a THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1928 PAGE SICHT aD | tive B Howe Dixon At Christine time, 'an artist in the family is quite an asset; and is ever so handy at suggesting little new ways to wrap the packages and may even be induced to design an indi- vidual card. Then again the artist may be more of a nuisance than a help with his original ideas. For instance, stringing gum drops on the ends of pieces of yarn may make a.package look quite different when it starts. But if the postoffice department lets it lie too close to a radiator somewhere in transit, so that the gum drops melt and make the sice bright red paper run,--on that lovely hand-embroidered chemise you were sending Aunt Evelyn, why then --you see--Aunt Evelyn wouldn't tare so much about your artist and ais ideas, would she? I think it more than likely that the artist would aeglect to replace the chemise, too. Doing It Properly If you find a department in a store where wrappings and ribbons are all tet awaiting your choice, you really will be safer. Because the people who plan these things for you do not jare make mistakes or experiment in the lovely free way common to art- sts. (It is permitted that one poke a ittle fun at his own avocation, is it pot?) There at the store you may find gay new colors and designs in the papers offered. Some firms are show- ng folded sheets in separate trans- parent envelopes. The sheet is ready wny time to use and is dust-proof. A thoughtful gift to a friend would pe a number of kinds of paper, sent well before Christmas--or would the friend think you were suggesting he had not wrapped his packages at- tractively in the past? It is a deli- tate matter to decide. With the wrapping paper you will find many suggestions for tying packages. Raffia is used. Tinsel cord of many colors, tinsel ribbons, red, green and. white, silken ribbons, holly ribbons are there. Seals, stick- ers and pretty cards are all spread out too, making any sort of selection from them positively difficult. Besides all these practical "aids to an attractive gift package" there are tricky methods of trying them shown you. There is the double diagonal tie, across the box twice, and not so easy to do. Then there is the usual around once léngthways, around once the narrow way, ending with a pretty bow in the center of the package. An unusual effect may be achieved with two colors of paper arranging the folds so that the inner color is shown prettily. This can be done diagonally too, but just between you and me, it looks just a trifle too pro- | fessional for us to attempt. Home-i oliday Cards To return to that artist in the fa- mily. The individual Christmas card | designed by him may not be origi- | nal, but it is sure to be "different." This is not always as desirable as it might be, as in the case of the lady For illustrating lectures a Texas | photographer has invented a stre- | spticon that can be operated in syn- thronism with a talking machine. Swedish interests have obtained t 35-year concession for the in- stallation and operation of a tele- phone system in Smyrna, Turkey, snd the surrounding district. Handily convenient for housecleaning and reach- ing high shelves. Stan- dard height. Allows a woman to rest at the iron- ing | boss d or pecking veg- es an preparing meals. In thousands of homes, offices and stores. Finished in all colors to match kitchens. Makes an ideal gift. $3.75 up Phone your order to PHONE 2692f d who ordered two dozen cards from her artist friend--printed from hand- cut linoleum blocks. When they ar- rived, both she and her husband de- cided they were "different," undoubt- edly, but they could not be mailed out. You see, the artist had wanted to be "different" and had chosen to pre- sent three ladies--in what might be called "comparative anatomy"--the artist of course, declining to be held Gift Dackag down by generally accepted notions of what is true or beautiful. Perhaps itis for. this reason that engravers and printers have taken pity on the innocent old public and have prepared special cards that can be adjusted to the family needs with- out calling in an artist. How more appropriately could we end than: Our best wishes to you all for the happiest of holidays! TORONTO MANS VICTIM OF ATTACK Sailor at Port Arthur in Hos- pital Following Murderous Attack Port Arthur, Dec, 8--Harry War- dell giving his address as Simcoe Street, Toronto, a sailor off the stea- mer Cedartou, is a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital here with a frac- tured nose 'and badly lacerated face, injuries received by him apparently in a murderous attack by some un- known man or men in a cafe, He was found by the Chinese cafe pro- prietor lying on the floor, his face battered to a pulp.
