A Novelty for Little Girls That VIII Please
Them.
New York Press.
A doll made of corn-nusks, and dressed
entire in the same material, is q novelty,
and SO dainty q creature that she cannot
fail to please the most fastidiOus little lady
In the land. The model is about eight
inches tall. handsomely dressed in modern
style, and is really quite a work of art, and
would be, if the little ones wished to help
a charity, a desirable contribution to fairs
and baZars.
A corn cob is the foundation for the body.
Measure and mark the waist line; below
this wind layer after layer of husks, leav-
but cutting out cores at the top, SO as to
make it shapely; stick a pin through any,
where it is necessary to keep the skirts In
place. Small strips. of husks are wound
after having wound a few extra strips
across the shoulder to make the requisite
breadth. A bit of cotton is laid over the end
of the cob for the head, shaping it as well
as possible; this Ia covered with a very
smooth piece of husk. and the eyes, nose and
mouth marked with a pen or pencil and a
little bit OF carmine Is put on the cheeks to
give her the flush of health.
Some of the best husks are selected for
the dress, a few of them being stained with
a pink aniline dye for trimming. Two full
widths of husks arc used for drapery in
he back, the join and puff being fastened
it'll pins, which are hidden under the
folds. A full-draped apron front covers
the front and the sides; the edges are van
d~yked-that is. squares cut out and a row
of the pink husks, cut in fringes. set un-
derneath. Where it is impossible TO hide
the pins stars are made by cutting a tiny
disk of the straw-cOlored husk and one of
the pink. and sticking the pins through
the middle. giving the appearance OF a very
small rosette.
A bunch of the corn silk is fastened on to
the head for hair. the back falling loosely
to the waist, while the front is cut into
shapely bangs. The bonnet made of col
ored husk, fits the head closely. A coach
mans cape covers the shoulders. By using
different coloring matter a great variety of
dolls dresses may be made whole families
of fathers and mothers, little children,
sailor boys and gypsy girls can be made to
spring into being almost like magic, for the
husks are very pliable and not at all
troublesome to handle.
