A Suggestion for old Boxes.

Do mothers and nurses know how
much enjoyment and fun can be had out
of different styles of boxes that we so
ruthlessly destroys IL all the members
of the family will save the boxes they
will find, some stormy day when children
are forced to remain indoors, that n trip
to the attic (where the boxes can be
kept will afford great deal Of amuso-
ment. The little girls OF the family will
select good sized box for new kind OF
dolPs house, and mamma or nurse can
easily teach them how TO cut cardboard
furniture to furnish this little house. II
it is summer time, make tiny house out
of an old cardboard box, and paste on
to 1t dried moss, then set il on a shingle
aud have little gravel path leading up
10 the door. On one side have bit of
looking glass for a pond, and some
branches OF evergreen boughs for trees
You can add whatever else you like to
make it look like an old fashioned farm
house. This simple toy has kept little
girls happy for whole summers.
The boys can use the boxes for thea
tres, Punch and Judy and many different
kinds of shows.
The baby will be amused with an old
tin box, some beans or pebbles put inside,
and the outside covered with some bright.
colored flannel after the cover is firmly
fastened. This will make a good rattle,
aud if string be tied to the box
1t can be drawn on the floor, or be sus-
pended from the chandelier aud swung
If the baby is too young 10 walk.
All these simple things have been
he ps to many mothers and nurses on
rainy days. when the expensive toys OF
the nursery have grown old and the lit
tie children are longing for something
new.
When you go away from home for the
summer put some boxes and bright col.
ored papers and cloths into your trunk
you will find them useful and very ac-
coptable when the children cannot have
their own nursery or the toys it contains
