117. CHILDREN’S LUNCHEON.--Thousands of parents would rather pay a

trifling sum than be put to the trouble of providing and preparing lunch. Make a little repast cheap and neat. One large or two small sandwiches, a small dish of jelly or a tart, a pickle or a piece of cake. Put in a collapsible paper box, and tie with red or blue ribbon. Cost about six or seven cents. Sell for ten cents. _Section 13. Christmas Presents._ You can do well with these if you are supple with your fingers and nimble with your tongue.

Our list below must be taken only as samples of what a fertile mind and ingenious fingers can accomplish.
