Woman's Sphere THE SUMMER CHRISTMAS SHELF. Instead of waiting until Chrirtma* 1b almost here and then rushing mad- ly about to purchase gifts for your friends, why not aUrt a Christmas shelf now? Every walk and drive about the country and every trip away from home may be made to con- tribute to the collection. Sofa pillows stuffed with balsam have long been in use and will ever bring delight to the weary city dwell- er. Less known, but not less delight- ful, are cushions filled with sweet fern and bayberry leaves. The sweet fern should be gathered when in full leaf, but before it has begun to dry. The ideal place to dry them is in a hot dry room indoors. Use two-thirds sweet fern to one-third bayberry leaves. Those who live where the white birch grows will find it a contributor. Unique and rustic looking place cards may be made for the friend who is always looking for something a lit- tle different for her luncheon enter- tainments. Your camper friends would like napkin rings made of birch bark. Anyone who has at her command an old-fashioned herb garden can pre- pare gifts which will be appreciated by any housekeeping friend. Who would not be glad to have the spicy fragrance of herbs greet them when shaking out the woolens and furs in the fall rather than evil-smelling moth balls? The following formula of carefully dried herbs is a good preventive against moths: rosemary and spear- mint, each u half pound; tansy and thyme, each four ounces; and freshly ground cloves, two tablespoonfuls. Mix and store in well-closed boxes un- til the holiday season. No perfumes made by man can com- pare with some of those which are the product of the garden. If there are a few bushes of lavender at com- mand one has material for many nice remembrances. If there is lemon verbena around, it is well to know it combines wonderfully with lavender, one improving the other. Think how delighted would be the dainty house- keeper who likes her linens and sheets to have the old-time lavender smell to receive a bag of this mixture well dried. Last summer I met a girl who was filling her Christmas shelf with vege- tables canned in glass, not the ordi- About this time Jean wrot« a letter to David at Oxford. It is wonderful how much news there Is that people write eveay other day; if they wait for a month there u nothing that eeems worth telling. Jean wrote: ". . .

Ugliness means to Bella re- spectability; any attempt at adorn- ment is 'daft-like.' "Pamela (she has asked me to call her that) trembles before her, and that makes Bella worse. She wants someone to stand up to her, to laugh at her grimness; she simply thinks when Pamela is charming to her that she is a poor creature. "She is charming to everyone, this lodger of Bella's. Jock and Mhor and and Mrs. M'Cosh are all at her feet. She brings us books and papers and chocolates and fruit, and makes us feel we are conferring the favor by accepting them. She is a real charm- er, for when she speaks to you she makes you feel that no one matters to her but just you yourself. And she is simple (or at least appears to be) ; she hasn't the Now-I-am-going-to-be- charming manner that is so difficult to bear. It is such fun talking to her, for she is very â€" pliable I think is the word I want. Accustomed to converse with people who constantly pull one up slvort with an 'Ah, now I don't agree,' or 'There, I think you are quite wrong,' it is wonderfully soothing to discuss things with someone who has the air of being convinced by one's I know, but ' make up • little, but he was diffleuit He was staying at the Temperance, and it seemed so forlorn that he should have no on* of bis own to come home to.

I say "our" living room, for I have had the co-operation of the entire family consisting of my husband, daughter aged fourlee.-:, two smaller boys, the youngest eleven, and a wee toddler. Our kitchen and dini.ig room have always been on the north side of the house with a small window In the north and a larger one In the east This did verv well in summer when the doors could he open, but on cloudy winter days it was dreary from day- light till dark. This year we have changed things. The two south rooms which have al- ways been parlor and spare bedroom, u.iied only occasionally, will be kitchen and living room. There are two large double windowF in the south and the same in the west, a glass door and large window in the east container for needlework and games. When our room is finished, it will be 80 cozy we shall almost welcome the long winter evenings. Daughter is anxious for the room to be finished so she can invite her school friends in to spend the night with her. Tha boys are just as en- thusiastic. Their part will be to fix the windows for the plants and the box for baby's playthings. Father has ordered the rug and we shall soon be snug in the brightest room.s in the house.
