Story Of a Yellow Dog

| TITLE Pugnacious is no beauty. but
L all the children love him because
he is so good natured and jolly. He
is a cross between a Yorkshire terrier
and Skye terrier. His yellow hair
flies all over his little body and shades
his faithful brown eyes
He likes to go out in the pony cart,
and stand up on his hind legs with his
paws on the dashboard and enjoys
seeing pony Belle trct along past the
pond where the ducks and the swans
are having such good times these hot
days
1t is funny to see his behavior toward
the cats. We have three beauties. Bub-
bic is a large. handsome tiger and

and only measures 90 inches from tip
to tip.
Puggie loves them ALL but Dottie is
the favored one. If Mr.. Pug enters
the room Dottie jumps off her chair and
rubs against him. while he kisses her
face. And such frolics they do have
chasing each other up and down stairs
and all through the house. When Dot
tie was little kitten and only six
inches long Pug thought that he could
tease her. He ran toward her one day
and tried TO push her over with his
nose. He thought this would frighten
the little cat, but as he put his, nose
out toward her the little puss. with
head and tail erect, walked directly up
TO his highness and tried TO embrace
him. Pug was so astonished that he
fell back on his launches. awestruck.

cord was put on as finish about the
sides. Sketches /, 2 and will show
you the designs for this shoe.
We made a pair of tennis shoes for
Dorothys largest doll. They were of
coarse canvas with 1inoleum soles.
Kid chamois or thin leather might have
been used instead of the canvas The
upper was cut in two pieces with seams
at the back and down the toe. Narrow
tape concealed the seam in the back.
Eyelet holes were worked In buttonhole
stitch, narrow ribbons being run
through the holes. The edges were fin
ished with tape binding. The tennis
shoes are shown in sketches Nos. 4
and 5.
Another OF our successes was an en-
broidered slipper, shown in sketches
Nos. 6 and Z. 1t had a strap to button
around the ankle One-half the pat
terial, the latter being doubled over
where the dotted line is seen in the
sketch in order that both sides of the
slipper might be cut out of one piece of
material The arm of a gray suede
glove was used for this. The design to
be embroidered was marked on the kid
before the slipper was put together. It
was applied, TO the toe by laying a
sheet of carbon paper between the kid
and the pattern and tracing heavily
over the design with hard lead pencil.
A silk lining was cut out and neatly
stitched about the top and under the
strap. Then the shoe was sewed to-
gether at the back and fastened to the
sole the edge of the shoe being turned
in and the toe gathered little to make

"Oh, do tell US what it is"' and ran
TO peep in my drawer as / got out q
pair Of discarded white gloves and
various odd gloves, of which ! have al
WAYS an ample collection owing to sad
inability TO long retain two of a kind.
The little girls followed me back To
the sitting room and we had day of
doll shoe making We made various
STYLES of shoes. Some were fashioned
out of kid gloves. some were cut
from chamois and colored and others
were just dear little baby slippers of
white pique or canvas.
We began by cutting out the pattern
in paper and making a shoe of muslin
that could easily be taken in or let
out at the seams until we got a per-
feet fit. Then we could use the mus
lin model as a pattern for cutting the
shoe out of the chamois or kid. Long
wristed gloves were the most useful
in supplying footgear for the larger
dolls We stiffened the soles by plac-
ing a piece of cardboard between the
outer sole and the lining. See sketches
l, and 3.
The plain. everyday shoe was the
hardest to make. 1t was cut in two sec
tons The smaller section, shaped
something like a shield, was for the
top OF the toe and the tongue The
larger section, which had to be sewed
together at the back, was TO form the
sole and the two sides. The front was
then gathered and the broad part of
the shield shaped section sewed to IT..
SO that the tongue slipped under the
sides OF the shoes. Three eyelets were
then worked in buttonhole stitch and
