brush. Let the children cut out the
pictures from the magazines and then
tell them to see how prettily they can
cover the box both inside and out. You
Will be surprised to see how long they
will play. I have known my children
to play for hours.

white stockings for children, as these
show no right or wrong side except IN.
the feet. and may easily be turned
wrong. side u without the soiled spots
showing through. In this way the
stockings may be worn a second time.
n washing saved, while the cost Is no
more than those having seams.
SAFETY PIN BUTTONS-If a but
ton Is gone from a young child,s gar
ment and the place must be pinned to-
tgether temporarily, much time may be
saved IN the course of a day IL you pin
a good sized safety pin into the SPOT
where the button was and then Just
slip h buttonhole over it, as you
would over an oval-saaped button, in
stead OF unpinning every time the gar
ment is unfastened.
PUT OVERALLS ON BABY-To
save baby's clothes when creeping put
him in the little blue overalls, the a.
year-old size for s months baby. They
go on nicely over clothes. In making a
child's one-piece dress that blouses at
the waist leave the lining separate from
the waist except at the waist. and It
can be Numbered as easily as IL 1t were
not lined.
PUT BANDS on GIRLS HAIR
Whether the little girls hair is
bobbed, curled. or braided. it is an adj
vantage to wind a rubber band around
1t just where the ribbon goes on. It
keeps the hair from getting loose and
the bow OF ribbon is never lost when
the rubber is under it. Cut band when
removing from hair. SO as not to tear
the hair.
KEEP SHEETS IN PLACE-sheets
will stay in place on the mattress by
sewing three large buttons on the head
end and foot end on the under edge OF
mattress. Then sew loops of white on
sheets the same distance apart as but
tons are on mattress and button on.
