A HOMEMADE DOLL

A doll which will prove serviceable and attractive to nearly all little tots may be easily and cheaply made
 Buy a sofa pillow top on which IS printed the face of pretty girl Round the corners until the face IS in the cen tre of a circular piece about twelve inches in diameter. Run a stout thread around the edge, draw together and stuff with bits of paper or shreds of cloth. This is to be the head. From stout unbleached muslin cut, all in one piece, the body, arms and legs. Stitch around edges, cutting an opening down centre of back Turn inside out and stuff with sawdust Close opening care fully and sew on the head Dress in a little Red Riding Hood outfit, and the result is a doll that will be joy forever to ;h. little heart whose property she becomes.
 Aslittle girl who has dolls of all de scriptions, from big French doll that talks, down to one made as described above and christened "Raggy," loves Raggy better than all the others, and once, when a thoughtless auntie made some disrespectful remarks about her "rag doll" the little mothers heart was almost broken. Surely many little girls not SO well favored as the one just men toned. whose parents have to spend their money to buy shoes and other ne cessities instead of dolls. would appre- ciate a doli like this Many a child's life can be made happy for years by one of these inexpensive but beloved toys.

How One School Was Started.

Through The Delineator articles and
 Miss HOwe's talk at the National Con
 gress of Mothers at New Orleans in February of this year. where she was sent by The Delineator, Mrs. John w.
 Mover, of the National Congress of
 Mothers. became very much interested
 in the infant mortality question A Mothers club was already providing
 the salary of a probation officer in
 FrankfOrd, Pa, for carrying on a sO-
 cial center for poor children. and has
 assisted financially in the public
 playground movement.
 As president of the club. Mrs. Moy-
 CT felt diffident about presenting a
 new work and an additional expense.
 Then the thought came. Why can not
 this work be done without money? She applied to the directors of the hospital
 for the use of a room once a week.
 where doctors and nurses could lee ture and demonstrate to mothers how to care for their babies-how to pre-
 vent babies ills as well as how to re- lieve them. The superintendent was
 much interested, and promised to
 help in securing the necessary doctors and nurses.
 The hospital is in a manufacturing section of the city. Many of the peo- pie do not read the papers. so Mrs. Mover asked her probation officer and . the secretary of the associated char ities to tell all the mothers with whom they came in contact Then she re- quested the principals of the public schools to- allow the children for their | writing lesson to make copies of an in vitation prepared for them and take | 1t home to their parents. This, with
 the aid of the local papers. spread the l news.
 The doctors and nurses entered | heartily into the plan and the first meeting was held. The doctor talked | on the care of young baby. bathing,
 bandaging, clothing and nourishment, i after which the nurse gave a demon stration lesson, using only such ma | terial as the poorer mothers could provide. In the succeeding weeks the | talks will deal with the care of the | baby from month to month, breathing | etc Through these meetings the high
 mortality rate will be lessened and many children's diseases prevented | The DelineatOr.

FUNERAL OF MISS NETS
 AT TABERNACLE YESTERDAY
The Last of Earth for One Who Made
 it Brighter.

.WholIy unprepared, the community was shocked Monday night and yes terdav morning when the sad infor- nation was given out that Miss Tena Nets had passed away at the home of her parents on East First avenue at 6:3O o'clock Monday evening with ty-
 'd fever after an illness of three weeks.
 In the account given in yesterday mornings issue of The Republican the funeral arrangements were not known nor did the relatives decide upon the time until noon yesterday. The fu- neral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Tabernacle, and the in terment will take place in the Mesa cemetery. John Nets arrived from tucson yesterday. while her brother Tom arrived from Prescott last night J. G. Peterson. a brother-In-law, will probably arrive this morning.
 The deceased was born in Utah and has lived in Mesa for upwards of thirty years, where she has made her 1 home with her parents.
 Tena Nets occupied a place in the hearts of those who were so fortunate as to know her that will never be filled. It had never become her lot to grace an Arizona home that she could call her own. vet the world has been made brighter and better for her hay ing lived in it. She never aspired to those hOnOrs which come to women who are successful in the public eye. yet she filled her corner in this world full to overflowing and the expressions | of deep regret at her untimely death from the mouths of business men yes terday was as sincere and heartfelt as l though one of the most prominent men in the community had passed away A constant toiler she was, but

over each step carefully with your pa tron, making sure that you each under stand alike The wisest way is: draw up a written memorandum in duplicate and submit it to her before you go ahead YouAwill have to use tact in doing this. Many women dismiss business matters with shrug, but are quick to take offense over discussions of prices and payments. Strike all your bargains first i; have the money question so clearly un- derstood that there can be no feelings
 It takes courage to have money deal ings with friends, but you must make up your mind to keep your head clear, smile and be pleasant about it, and know absolutely that you are in the right. Be ware of the friend who says: "Oh, don't bother me with prices; just go ahead and do the best you can and I know 1t will be all right" Nine times out of ten, she is the one to complain and feel that she is being cheated, no matter what price is charged her.

form and harmony of fruits and salads. Luncheons, wedding breakfasts and teas give the caterer and decorator the best chance. As society reporter, 1 heard many ladies, including the wife of former president of the United States, lamenting that more young women with artistic sense did not enter this field, plan menus and decorations for the hostess. see that the tables and parlors were properly arranged and everything in readiness in the kitchen.
 In connection with her entertainment bureau" the ambitious girl must not neglect to study forms of social eti- know the correct wording of invitations and the little points that many hostesses dread Here, too, comes in the work of making out lists and addressing invi tations and delivering them Empress a small boy in neat clothes into service for this), ideas for announcements of various sorts, getting up programs, sell ing advertising space on programs-all these can be taken in charge.
 Winter and Summer Work
 The willing girl will find large field in selecting prizes for card clubs and contests or games She can haunt the home shops and send for catalogues from dealers in other towns. CotIllion favors should bring fame and money to the clever girl. 1 knew little German woman. a street seller of artificial flow CTS, who was grabbed up" by a CO., tillion club of generous young people, and kept busy and happy making won- derful things of tissue-paper -b boas, muffs, wands, hats, garlands, flowers. When summer rolls around you can move your entertainment scenery out-of- doors. Arrange your lawn and your porch for party-giving. You will need fresh white covers for your tables and chair backs to protect dainty gowns i; lanterns, big jardinieres, rugs or canvas, if tables are set upon the lawn. There are many little details which the ob- servant bostess does not neglect You have a good chance to help your boy friends. Interest them in forming a string orchestra or mandolin and guitar club, and engage them to play for your parties. Here. too. you have chance to help a girl friend who is musical by engaging her to play. One young woman, a widow with two sons, culti- vated her talent for playing good dance music and had her musically inclined son taught to play the drum, and the two are kept busy with engagements.

and are welcomed by the hostess to whom entertaining means deal of work, worry and a complete readjustment of the domestic machinery.
 Renting Rooms
 Large parlors with little furniture are a pretty good asset for any girl to have. There are many times when she can rent thenl-to the kindergarten teacher, for rehearsals, for readings, recitals and demonstrations of women lecturers Mothers would rather have their sons and daughters attend dances given in the parlor of a house than in public hall Big storerooms and attics may be rented for the storage of furniture. l know one young woman who conducts a stor- age house, hiring the teams and taking care of big business. As bookkeeper in storage house, she was given much more than her share of work by the lazy manager.
 She did not complain, but spent her time learning the work and making friends of the teamsters and patrons and saving her money. The next thing she did was to establish her own busi- ness, and she is succeeding well. One girl, owning fine, roomy brick barn, lined its walls with felt for winter, put in a big stove, cleaned and decorated it, called it "The Barn" and rented it very successfully for social affairs and entertainments. In the summer she rented it to an artist and his wife. Two other girls of my acquaintances rent their old barn to neighbors for storing their autos. Big houses and big barns can be turned to account in many ways. Decorating
 But there are many more lines of work for you if you decide to try the enter tainment bureau. There are the decora- tions. You can plan these and make the artificial ones, including the candle and lamp shades. You can gradually. ac- cumulate palms, ferns ard rubber plants and baskets of trailing vines, which you can rent to others, just as the. florist does To keep the goodwill of the flor ist, if there is one, you could tell him frankly your plans and ask him to allow you to work with him.! he furnishing the plants and flowers aipd you arrang- ing them.

" WONDER ii the girl who wants H to make money has ever thought
 of using the social and club sea-
 son as a means of making extra money? Just now, in big cities or in smaller, you hear much of card clubs, literary clubs, dancing parties, afternoon teaS-the whirl of the season IS well be- bun. Let US study its possibilities where the girl with will is concerned.
 Every social and every club entertain ment must have its touch of hospitality m the way of refreshments. Every hos tess and every committee reach the point where they would be glad to have certain details taken of their minds and hands. Think of the opportunity this gives you, in no matter what line your talent lies. How Co Go About It
 Suppose you live in a big, old-fash- toned house, the kind with center hall and long double parlors, or with one big parlor; why do you not go right into the entertainment business? Rent your parlors to hostesses and clubs. Clear the rooms of superfiuous furniture and tint the walls a soft neutral tint, against which pretty gowns will be in color harmony You can tint the walls yourself to save expense, but remember that certain strong colors will spoil the effect of certain other colors. You will want to change the colors of your floral decorations to suit seasons and occa- sions, and that is another reason why you must not have bright background.
 Buy or rent folding card-tables and chairs. If ingenious, you can manu- facture card-tables yourself with board for the tops and broom-handles for legs. Cover the tops with muslin or felt Invest part of your capital in pretty, inexpensive china (if your own china closet will not supply enough), and do not forget the sherbet glasses. These are always in demand, and you can doubtless rent them many times over You can get very pretty plated forks and spoons in artistic patterns. ~
 Little by little you can add the napery, embroidering it with your monogram or your favorite flower. or if you give your parlors name, with the initial of that. Special parlors, equipped with the tables, chairs and service for entertaining, have become need where space is scarce,
