EASTER FAIRY LANTERNS.

To convert eggs into fairy lanterns
bore a small hole with the point of a
needle on the opposite side Of the shell
near the top and run the bent ends OF
a fine wire hairpin through the holes
to form the lantern handle. Straighten
out another wire hairpin, bend one end
into a loop around the middle of the
lantern handle and twist the other end
securely around the notched end OF a
slender stick by which TO carry the
tiny affair.
When you want a real light inside

drop some of its melted wax on the
bottom of the lantern, blow out the
candle and Immediately set its base
down on the melted wax, which will
soon harden. Be sure to have the
candle shorter than the lantern. and
when all is ready relight the candle
and the fairy lantern will shine like a
gem. II you want the light very red.

such cases one is apt to blame the
milliner and the fashions instead OF
the individual woman. No milliner
