Mother didn't say a word about

we turned around and saw you,
cried Dorothy, holding tightly to his
right arm with both hands as they
walked toward the house.

Children and the Table

Old-fashioned bibs are coming in
again-bibs that please baby as well
as baby's mother. Sometimes they are
in outline and sometimes in cross
stitch; rarely arc they in a stitch
more elaborate. They are worked in
different colors, sometimes two colors
being on one bib, says an exchange.
Old damask towels make the incest
kind of bibs. There is always a good
place in a orn-out towel, and a bib
can be made of it in no time, and a
little design in the form of a dog,
horse, etc, or a nursery rhyme scene
can be embroidered on it almost be-
fore you can count ten. These bibs
are just as much fun for baby as a
picture book, if they are made prop
erly.
Bids are excellent and perfectly
proper things for young children; but
do not make the mistake of forcing a
child to wear a bib when it is old
enough to learn the use of a napkin.
For a time the napkin may be fast
ened about the neck of the child, but
as soon as possible he should be
taught that cultured people never
fasten their napkins to their collars
or dresses, but allow them to lie
across the knees.
Teach the children, too, never to
crumple their napkins. A napkin.
after being used, should be almost as
immaculate as before it is unfolded,
with the exception that the folds are
loose while and after using. 1t is
never too young to learn table man
ners.

shape of the pig are selected, and
In the curved ends two bits of
either almonds or apple are inserted
for ears.
The eyes and mouth are made
with sugar icing, having a hint of
cochineal, after having been indi-
Gated by knife cuts in the rind.
The curled tail is made by the
insertion of a strip of partially dried
curling apple inserted in a slit in
the skin, and the legs are long
almonds.
The animals are then placed on
strips of finely sliced apple, some
partially dried, and twisting in all
directions, suggesting a straw.
More elaborate and also more
amusing is the rabbit made of an or
ange and a pear The orange is the
head, and this perforce has cotton
wadding tail. this being the onlv
part of the rabbit that can't be
eaten.
The eyes are done on the tapering
end of the pear, with icing and
cochineal. and the large ears are
of the thin white paper of the sort
used under macaroons, and this
should be ever so slightly Drowned
in an oven before using.
The upper ends should be cut oval
and the paper then folded into fun
nels, opening toward the outside
and inserted in the paper
A sharp knife will cut the nostrils
and outline the mouth, and bits OF
finely drawn toffee or molasses
candy are to be inserted as whis-
kers.
The pear and the orange, with it's
wadding tail, are then placed on
bed of sliced apple end to end.
A fruit mouse is a particularly
appetizing morsel, being made OF
figs, dates and almonds.
The date. cut in half, makes the
head after being pinched at the top
into proper shape, and this is Joined

with q bit of almond.
The tail Is an apple shaving dried
enough to acquire a natural twist.
The ears are made of either all
monds or pieces of apple. and the
eyes, as usual, are done with icing.
The whiskers may be made from
warm toffee, pulled into shreds. or
for these and the other whiskered
animals hairs pulled from a long

will elicit many exclamations Of
delight from juveniles.
The elephant may be reproduced
in apples, blanched almonds and
oandied orange peel, assisted by a
thin firm banana, the latter forming
the legs.
Two brown apples, one long one
for the body and very round
smaller one for the head, are Joined
together by almonds. Long almonds
are used for the tuslls, and the ears
and trunk are cut from eandied peel
thrust into incisions in the fruit.
The tail may be made from a wisp
of string travelled at the ends or
from partially dried strip of apple.
The eyes are then put in with
icing, and the banana is cut into
two, the ends so followed at the top
as to permit the apple body to rest
securely on them.
Place the figure on a plate and
cover the latter with grated cocoa
nut and icing or any fancied set
ting.
