Helps and Hints
For Vacation Days

After the novelty Jf vacation has worn
somewhat away, the children often begin TO
find that the DAYS arc long and il is hard to
fiji them. AS consequence, they become
restless and want to go here and there. 1t
is well for them and for the mother, too,
If something can be devised to entertain
them in their own yards.
AN AiPROMPTU TENT.
Among the things which all children en-
toy. is tent or playhouse. If there is no
one 70 put up the frame for a square play
house, a firm stick or pole can be driven
upright into the ground, another nailed
TO the house and the upper part of the
upright piece, and a couple OF breadths
Of canvas, ticking, or heavy unbleacaed
muslin stretched over the horizontal piece
and staked down to the ground upon
either side. This will make very salts
factory tent, aud can be used for playing
house, tea party, store, Indian, ana any
number Of similar games.
SWINGS and hammocks are the usual
property of children, but ''teeters" are
not so common, and they ''are lots of FUN -
A short upright post, with large iron
spike driven into it, makes a safe founda-
ton for one. Bore a large hole in the
lltIl.e OF lLt piGlh bi N.it bCttSA anu l'AS -
over the spike. In this way the board is
kept from slipping or falling. But If a
regulation teeter cannot be made, at least
provide a soap box and plank.
BOYS who are large enough should be
provided with boards, nails, and hammer,
and. as they learn TO use these, with other
tools as well The tools viii not only
amuse them and occupy much OF their
spare time, but viii also prove source
of much useful instruction.

Swallow tail coats are only the old cuta-
