Fashion Pretty One.

A pretty chiffon hair receiver may
be made by the woman who Is at all
skillful with needle. The bottom is
made of cardboard cut round, about
five inches in diameter. This Is first
covered with silk and then recovered
with chiffon. The bag is made Of two
thicknesses OF chiffon, the lining con-
trasting with the outer cover. The top
Of the receptacle is gathered about a
small embroidery hoop, both top and
bottom. being finished with a double
frill.
1t is good plan to make lining Of
thin lawn, attaching 1t to the bag with
a,few stitches so that 1t can be remov-
ed and laundered. A loop Of silk cord
may be sewed to one side by which
to hang the bag. The receiver Is very
pretty and also absolutely clean. being
more convenient than the glass or

to a delicate system by the eating Of
ripe and juicy apples before going to

excellent brain food because it has

One player is giant. another the
mother. while all the rest are dwarf

the children that she is going out and
that they must be careful not to let the
giant come into their home. While she
is gone CULVER steals one boy. When
the mother returns she scOlds the other
children for letting the giant come III.
Then she goes out again, and Gullver
steals another child. This is kept up

tending to be asleep. The other play
ers try to cover him with armfuls OF
leaves. When the last dwarf has
