MAKING INDIAN PLAY SUITS
Little Boys and Girls Can Rig Them
selves Up In Novel Way by
Using Old Newspapers.

The boy who wants to change him
self into a little Indian may easily
make an Indian play suit. For head
dress cut a deep fringe from newspa-
pers Pin it around the head and pin
a long piece of the fringe to fall down
the back to look like feathers. Cut
more fringe and pin down the sides
of the pants and another piece of
fringe, not very long, to pin around
the ankles over the tops of low shoes
to look like moccasins.
The little girl who wants to be a
squaw may make her suit in this way:
First. make the skirt. Paste two large
newspaper sheets together so that
the short side of one newspaper laps
over to the short side OF the other
sheet of paper. Fold this long piece
of paper just formed so that the long
TOP edge reaches nearly down to the
long lower edge. Cut the lower edge
so that it is formed into fringe. The
skirt is then finished. Slip a piece of
tape inside the skirt where the paper
is folded and tie it at the back to
keep the skirt in place. The Indian
sack is made in this way. Place a
double sheet of newspaper in front Of
YOU so that the long double edge Of
the paper is at the top. Fold the
short edge of the paper on one side
over onto the other short edge. From
the upper left hand corner OF this
folded Daper cut out a double square
of paper which is about four inches
each way. All of the edges except
the top edge and the folded edge of
the paper should be slashed to form
fringe. Open out your paper and put
1t on as a sack by putting your head
through the square hole in the top OF
the paper. The fringe will be down
the sides of the sack and on the
bottom Of the little coat.

AMUSING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

ant experience, and 1t is always well
to know of a game that will make the
young folks Timber up"
One that children of any age will
enjoy and which takes little prepare
ton is the JoDeses' Vacation. One of
the girls is selected as Mrs. Jones and
one of the boys as Mr.. Jones. You
have ready a suit case and at a given
signal Mr. and Mrs. Jones must I'M
lock it and put on the things they
find inside. 1t is good Idea to have
a hat, a long coat, a veil, scarf gloves
and pocketbook for Mrs. Jones and a
coat. hat, collar a (large one), neck
tie and gloves for Mr.. Jones. They
must dress in these as quickly as pos
sible, for some one is timing them.
and then they must lock the suit case
and rush off with it to the train. That
must be the farthest point you can Sc
lect-usually the front door. After
they have hit the front door a good
hard thump they must rush back
again, take off the things and pack
them again. And If they don't pack
carefully they will find themselves in
trouble. for they must lock and strap
the suit case again Now it is the turn
Of another couple to be Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones, and when they all have tried
the couple who made the trip in the
shortest time are judged the winners.
1t is we'll to use coats and hats that
you do not need to treat carefully, for
naturally they are apt to get rumpled
in the excitement of the game. Don't
forget the collar, in which you should
put a large stud, for it always is in
teresting to see anyone in a hurry
struggle with a collar button.

"Justif7able in tho Eyes of
God"
BY Rev. Madison c. Peters, Pastor OF
the Peoples Church, Chicago.
m HE taking of human life, except il

vTS HE taking of human life, except in
self-defense, is never justifiable
in the eyes of the law; but con
tingencies sometimes arise where such
an act is justifiable in the eyes OF
God. To my mind, the MacDowell
case was one of them.
The fine feelings which every man
has for his fellow man, the still finer
feelings which a husband bears for q
wife. he sacrificed on the altar Of love
James Mcdowell did what every
right-thinking man believes ought tC
be done in such a case, but which
very few would find the courage to
do.
But though l have nothing but
praise and admiration for this man,
realize the great danger which lies
in countenancing the deliberate Ia
king of human life under any consid
eratiOns.
This same obstacle is met with in
the consideration of another phase OF
the same questionable disposition OF
the newborn babe who is physically
deformed or mentally deficient. Should
these little ones be put away or
should they be permitted to develop
into lifelong cripples or idiots? If 1t
were possible to regulate and safe
guard the disposal of the adult who
is suffering from an absolutely in
durable and agonizing disease and the
baby who is born to a life of torture
in such a way that it could not be
subjected to abuse, should be in
clined to say that, in the cause Of hui
mainly, an end should be put to such
suffering.
l believe the time will come when
the problem will be solved in this
way.
