Maud Marian said that the trouble
was with one of Mary Bells back
teeth, which needed to be filled To
get at it the young dentist had to
push an instrument through the
scarcely parted front teeth. Maud
Marian tried her very finest instru-
ments. but not one of them would go
through. open" she said great
many times, just as the real dentist
had said to her, but Mary Bells rosy
lips and her pearly teeth refused to
open a bit wider than their usual lady
like smile.
She'll have to have a wedge be-
tween her teeth for q couple of days
to wedge those teeth apart COM
mented Maud Marian wisely. Theresa
looked more cheerful Perhaps, after
all, Mary Bell would not be hurt very
much She knew that if Maud Marian
put a wedge in her teeth she would
forget all about dentistry when the
time game for completing the opera
tion.
Maud Marian whitfield a very tiny
wedge from a silver of wood. Then
she proceeded to thrust it between
Mary Bells teeth. 1t didn't go in very
easily. Maud Marian pushed harder
Wait a minute. Don't push so hard
cried Theresa. You'll break her
teeth.r
But the damage was already done.
Maud Marian had pushed the wedge
with all her might. 1t was in Mary
Bells mouth, to be sure. but there was
great gaping hole there also, and
Mary Bells two front teeth were rat
Ting around inside her mouth.
Even Maud Marian was aghasr for
moment at the result of the dentis-
try. for with her front teeth ort Mary
Bell was most pitiable object. The
resa was. indeed, the first to speak af-
ter the catastrophe.
THE best thing we can do she
said, "is to make her some teeth from
chewing gum and tinfoi1."
Maud Marian grasped at the idea
eagerly 'Oh. yes. we can she cried.
''and they'll be much better than the
real ones. Besides. the real ones would
have ached dreadfully if I had left
them in. / was Obliged to pull them .
Whether Mary Bell liked her new
artificial teeth better than her real
ones she never told any one, and so
no one ever knew.

such silly thing. And as for the ele-
plants and Hons and snakes. But OF
course. very few of them have been

inquired Toku deferentiauy
Il was a very famous dancer. my dear
boy" smiled Bella. 'T-suppose there

Toku, greatly exhilarated by the first
conversation he he'd ever had with a
really famous lady. Are there any

own humble life, which I've always
spent in our family forest with my
father and mother and brothers and
sisters. Probably you know that orr
entail parents keep their children very
much under their control, even after
they have grown up, so I was allowed

firing to the back of his cage.
So Bella, who, like all her family
was noticeable for her brunette COM
plexion and for having no tail, began
to cavort about her cage in the most
energetic way, sliding from the tall
roof to the ground by one hand or foot

rose and white rugs are also pretty.
This style of braiding is like basket
work
Another nice way to make rugs is to
plaft or braid rags as one does the hair.
Three pieces of colored rag quite long
and the same width are chosen. If the
rug is to be large one you will have
to sew rags together so as to make
them long enough. When you have
three long strands you braid them to-
gether as you would the hair, keeping
the braid as wide and fiat as possible.
When the braid is finished 1t is made
into round rug or an oval one, the
edges being sewed together. Any
colored rags are nice for these rugs.
Red. gray and white rags make a very
pretty rug.
For the drawing room, rugs can be
made with appiiqued fgures-that is,
with figures that have been cut out
of material of one color and sewed on
another. The center of the rug can
be of a solid color-green broadcloth,
for instance-and then on two ends
there can be border made of pink,
red or yellow leaves which have been
cut out of cloth of one of these colors
and sewed to the green broadcloth.
Rugs are also made with corner pieces
in figured pattern, or perhaps there
will be a rug with pink center and
WIDE border Oh dark blue and with
narrow edge of pink around this Rugs
should be made of as heavy material
as you can find.
Furniture upholstered in chintz is
very fashionable just now, and if your
dolls furniture is showing wear it
should be reupholstered in this fashion.
II the doll and her friends are going
to be quite comfortable in the new
house there must be number of nice.
soft pillows on the sofa or couch. That
is another thing the little housewife
can make for the doll establishment.
For the dolls bedroom there may be
draped dressing table, the drapery to
match the curtains of the windows. The
bed has a founce around the bottom of
1T and a canopy over it, tied back at
the sides. Any little table will do for
the dressing table providing it is
straight at the back. so that 1t can
stand against the wall. The top is
covered with a piece of plain colored
material, such as pink silesia over
this a plain piece of thin white lawn
or any thin white material is placed.
Then flounce of the colored lining is
tackled to the edge of the table The
fiounce is full and falls to the floor.
Over this f1ounce of the thin white
drapery Is tackled.

1T was necessary for Mary Bell. the
Paris doll, to go to the dentists.
Maud Marian, her mamma, had just
been to the dentists herself, and she
knew all about what happens there.
When she had come homo she deter
mined to have somebody go to the
dentist, and she had looked around
to see who would best do.
First. there was Theresa, Maud
Marians cousin. Theresa had al
ways been willing to do what Maud
Marian wanted, provided it wouldn't
hurt anybody, SO Theresa said she
would go to the dentists If Maud Mar
ian wished. Maud Marian put Theresa
in the Morris chair, which was the
nearest thing to a dentists chair that
there. was In the house. Maud Marian
herself was the dentist. She had a
tray of nutpicks, which she had got
ten from the dining room. and some
fine,' sharp knitting needles, little
scissors. ETC., which she had taken
from her mothers work basket. She
had also piece OF rubber, which she
had cut from a little toy balloon, and
which she began to work in between
Theresa's teeth in q most expert man
ner. such as any dentist might have
envied.
But just as Maud Marian was about
to begin on Theresa, Theresa's mother
came into the nursery with Maud
Marian's mother, and when they dis
covered why Theresa was sitting In
the Morris chair with her head thrown
back and towel around hersneck.
they said 1t must be stopped right
away, and that Maud Marian must
not insert any of the nice, sharp things
which she had gathered into Theresa's
teeth. or do any more dental work of
any kind for her little cousin. Theresa
promptly took off the towel and the
rubber and came out Of the dentists
