MANY NOVELTIES FOR
THE BATHING GIRL IN
SHAPE OF NEW CAPS

The bathing cap is always subject
Of deep interest to the girl whose
pleasure it is to battle. though she often
declares that caps are very little use
and whatever she does to prevent II her
hair always gets wet.
/, This Is no doubt a great drawback tc
bathing and learning to swim, for one
naturally hesitates to wet the hair,
knowing how unmanageable 1t will be
afterward.
And 1t Is also very often the reason
that, generally speaking. 50 few girls
can swim at all except those who have
learned while at school. when these
things did not matter.
One Of the best ways for overcoming
this objection is to take the hair down be-
fore entering the water. screw 1t into as
tight a knot as possible on the top OF
the head. rather in advance than at the
back: then put on the cap-the old
fashioned red rubber variety with the
straight band Is the most satisfactory
and over this somewhat ugly arrange-
ment place a more ornamental cap, ty-
ing it tightly round the head with rib.

THE cH1DaEss CORNER.
Egg-shell Basket.


Dear Kiddie Kids: Do you remember
the story of the maid who started for
market with a basket of eggs on her
head and who met with an accident be-
cause she grew a bit careless?
The story runs In this wise, as they
used to tell 1t in my country when
was a tiny princess.
The maid began to think what she
would do with the money that she ex-
pected to receive from the sale Of her
eggs She decided to save her egg money
until she got enough to buy a calf, then
her calf would grow up to be gentle
COW that would give her milk and but
ter to sell. In time. she thought, she
would be rich enough to buy house.
and II things went well, some day she
would build a neat little cottage of her
own.
The thought OF this so elated her that
she began to skip merrily on her way
to market. The basket of eggs began
to skip, too. Finally II slid from the
] aids head. and you cen guess what
happened to the eggs when the basket
bumped on the ground.
This Is a very old story. but II holds
a lesson for boys and girls today IL they
are wise enough to understand 1t.
was reminded OF this story by the
dear little eggshell of which this Is
drawing. 1t Is tiny basket, Just big
enough for dollie to carry when she
goes into her garden to gather sweet
roses and lilies and violets. or for her to
use when she carries goodies to her
friends. Does you dollie do that?
An eggshell basket Is easy to make, and
II should go with your other eggshell
pieces. The handle may be strip Of
gilt paper. and you may bind the edge
of the basket with a gilt band. II you
like. The edge must be very neatly
cut II you wish II to look perfect. What
a nice present for a little sick friend
a set OF eggshell things would be!
