when we hear the words "the miracle of Christmas" we auto- maticauy think of the bright star that appeared in the sky, and all that is signified to mankind Yet Christmas to a time of nevcr-end- IIIIJIIIIIDIOG, when almost every man in the Christian world per- mits his icllowmen to see the spir- it of goodwill that is in his heart, even though it may shine through a true and contemporary miracle of Christmas. and the tangible ex- pression of the goodwill which we feel is indicated in the gifts which we give to friends and neighbors. It is truly said that the act of re- ceiving is as much a miracle as the act of giving.

Yet often in a commercial and material world such as ours, the essential truth is overlooked and emphasis is wrongly placed on the intrinsic worth of the gifts. Today, however. it seems that We We turning aside from this false viewpoint. and recapturing the simplicity and understanding of a bygone day. In gr dmothr.-r'u time, for example, it was custom- ary to exchange jams and pre- serves at Christmas time, or per- haps a Jar of t ccmeat. one old lady who lived in a rich fanning area sent each of her friends a pound of butter. An unusual Christmas present, you may say, but much appreciated, neverthe- less, because the thought was right. VA homemade gift is often cher- ished more highly than an ex- pensive store present. because it means that someone took the time to labor long And hard. and put something of himself into the gift. That. in the true sense, is the finest gift oi all.

Scope for Creative Ideas ...... ..

If you're interested in trying out your handiwork this year, and making Christmas presents for your friends, the only limit in how far you can go is your skill and ingenuity. Handmade sweaters. socks, scarves and gloves have always been favorites.

Another range of unusual and attractive gifts is available to you through the miracle of color in a can of paint.-- You can take a simple cigar box or cheese box. and with a few coats of enamel or lacquer you can produce a handsome Jewel box for milady's dressing table. If you wish to add a flowered design. stencils can be obtained. together with palntlni instructions from any point of a hardware store.

Where a small child is concern- ed an excellent gift is a small in-

expensive sleigh. to which you might affix a sturdy apple box. The whole thing can then be

painted in gay colors. and will .be a great delight to the child. Fur- thermore, it will enable you to navigate through snow-drifts where it would be ridiculous to use a baby canriage.

If your friend has a sleigh fix- ed up in this or similar fashion. an inexpensive set of sleigh bells to attach to the sleigh makes a

be a source of conltant pleasure to the child. The beus can made extremely attractive by painting each one I different col- or, and for this purpose you can use the wide variety of. paint coi- ora ..which are usually lurking in

the murky depths of the paint cupboard. . There are a hundred and one

ideas of a similar nature which you may can to explore as Chris - mu gifts. Here's one examp that is often given - the wood bowl, complete with cover which once contained your husband's shaving soap. A piece of sand- paper to give a satiny finish, and a coat of enamel will produce an unusual and charming powde box. such containers-can also be used for a host oi purposes like buttons, hooks and eyes and sew- ing equipment.

Handsome Gifts

lard pails. painted in gay toner make excellent w bas- kets. A ball of string. some glue, and several colors of enamel will help you to transform bottles into handsome guts for the playroom bar. the the glue to fix the string to the bottle, and wind it around the base, the neck or the entire bottle according to yoir taste, and don't be discouraged if it's not too effective the first time. It's one of

required. Then give it I. coat of

be priming pant. followed by a couple

of final coats in the desired oolora. Fascinating patterns in horizontal stripes can be worked out. or per- haps your friends would prefer ao-

lid colors. Flower pots and jam jar: yield handsome results with similar

treatment, and at the expense of a little time and patience they be- come a Joy to behold.

small pieces of painted fur- niture may be obtained very cheaply. Magazine racks, for ex- ample are always useful and when painted in brilliant hues become a colorful and extremely practical contribution to any decorating scheme. A coat of enamel is eas- ily applied. and may be washed any number of times, which is an advantage if small children are present for they usually have a fondness for mag -He rocks. or anything else within their reach for that matter.

We could go on indefinitely naming items which you might make or finish as Christmas pre- sents. The main thing to remem- ber is that with that little extra something that goes into a hand-

made gift - the ingenuity, the time and energy involved. the goodwill which is obviously pre-

sent - the Christmas star shines brighter and another miracle, even if only a minor one, has been performed.
