ingenious thoughts for his amusement.
Very often Teddy bears and expen-

by sympathetic relatives will lie neg

invuld's interest can be aroused only
by some novel form of entertainment
that has never amused him before.
Children are never happier than
when cutting up paper. Snip. snip
they go. clipping out shapeless pieces
from old magazines and making a mess
while they waste their time. There
are so many ways in which paper cut

and active. For a few cents one of
those cOlored paper ''pantomimes" can
be bought whose east" and scenery
will take some hours to finish neatly.
Little girls love to cut out paper dolls
and create fashionable wardrobes for
them. Very often they prefer to draw
the outlines themselves. and then they
can color them with crayOns. Flow
ers. model houses. brightly hued chains
all these can be made from paper.
Rag Dolls and Beads.
The average child loves to make
those rag animals and dolls that are
now sold at every toy shop. The
shapes are easily cut. and then they
are stuffed with rags and sewn up
again. This is another opportunity to
humor a child's artistic bent because
the animals can really be made from
plain pieces Of calico. provided some
body cuts it out in the right shape.
and this can be painted by the young
Ster.
Stringing beads is favorite pastime
with the sick child. Rings. bracelets
and necklaces can be made for rela

that children enjoy so much as making
things for grownups.
Scrap book making is another task
which Il child enjoys. Give him a
blank book. paste pot and few old
Illustrated magazines and he will
amuSe himself for hours.
An imaginative child finds great joy
in seashells. He loves to feel the diff

his ear thinks he can hear the sounds
of the waves. This sometimes enter
tains him for hours.
The Bran Pie.
Children love any excitement. and
novel way of keeping their unfailing
interest is to make Il bran pie. A few
penny toys should be wrapped in sep

cardboard box that has been filed
