under the accompanying tie. The little 
piece through which the tie is slid should 
be Loosened at one end and a snap fas¬ 
tener supplied to hold if in place. Thus 
an easily donned garment may be made 
from one which, at first thought, might 
seem useless under such a condition as 
that mentioned above. 
Crocheted or knitted slip-over articles 
are less easily opened, since there is great 
danger of unraveling. Such lovely open- 
style yokes, undergarments, negligees, 
sweaters, etc., may be made that it is bet¬ 
ter to be on the safe side and give some¬ 
thing which you are sure is suitable for 
its intended wearer. G. R. B. 
Individual Christmas Tree for Sick 
Friend 
If any of Tine It. N.-Y. readers are 
striving to think of something novel in 
the line of Christmas cheer for a sick 
friend or invalid, a tin.V Christinas tree 
may meet with their approval. Sick folks, 
youug or old, will surely he delighted with 
such a cheery gift. 
Let the tree be small enough to stuud 
on a chair or dresser, or be easily moved 
about, one from 2 to -1 ft. in height being 
tall cnaligh. Decorate it as yon would u 
large tree with a few ornaments, candles, 
strings of popcorn, and small gifts. If 
the tree is mounted on a square block or 
piece of board heavy gifts could be placed 
on this foundation at the base of the tree. 
A tree which must be carried some dis¬ 
tance could be trimmed after one’s ar¬ 
rival at the place of delivery, doing it all 
“on the quiet," -4 course, in order that 
the readymade tree may be a joyous sur¬ 
prise. to the recipient. 
To receive a little “readymade” tree is, 
indeed, a joyous surprise. I am qualified 
to vouch for the foregoing statement, in¬ 
asmuch as I have had a happy experience 
myself. G. B. B.
