When dressing and undressing small

Brown, cream, blue and white have
proven strong favorites for children's
bonnets, as to color. Bright red is
liked when the little coat Is of the
same warm color. Nothing Is prettier
than cream color or brown.
1t is simple matter to make these
little bonnets. All the standard pat
tern houses furnish paper patterns
by which to cut them. BY making
them by hand and adding some hand
embroidery, they are placed far above
the commonplace, machine-made bon
nets which one can buy ready made,
and are not more expensive. When
such handmade and hand-embroidered
bonnets are sought at the shops, It
will be found that the price Is high

Some Easter Suggestions.

For a children's party send the in
yitations inclosed in an egg shell In a
wee basket just large enough to hold
it. Say, May count on you for the
party l am Matching for Easter Mon
day." Have puzzles made from
Easter postcards cut out by some
clever boy on jig-saw, each put up
in an egg-shaped box made from card
board marked with guests name.
Children as we'll as grown people have
the puzzle craze. For prizes have
something symbolic of the season
there is much from which to select at
most all stores.
Hang up a sheet after the manner
of the old-fashioned donkey party;
draw a big brown nest on it with a
crayon, outlining carefully the center
of the nest. Give each child a paper
egg cut from some bright color, with
child's name on back for Identified
ton. Blindfold each in turn and see
who comes nearest pinning egg to
middle of nest
This scheme is equally good for a
grown-up party.
