CHRISTMAS GEL IDEAS.

"Dusky Maiden"-You can take old
black hose and make a darky doll for
the little folks for Christmas. Take a
piece of the black stocking. cut ii
round, making it the size of the head
you wish your doll to have. Stuff
this with cotton until real full. Take
white shirt buttons for eyes. sewing
on with black thread. Make little
dots of red for nose and make the
lips of red thread. Now you have face
completed
Take darning cotton, crochet a long
string and leave it for several hours !;
then unravel. cut in small pieces, sew
on head for hair
Now the body. Take legs of two
old black stockings, cut an oblong
piece in proportion to the head, sew
up and stuff with cotton. Cut strips
for arms and legs. Stuff these; at end
tie string around wrist to form hand.
At ankle tie black baby ribbon around
tight; this forms foot.
Sew legs and arms on trunk, then
sew on head and doll is ready for dress
ing. Make a bright-colored frock out
of yellow or green or red cloth.
These are just as cunning as they
can be and make such splendid gifts
for the little folks.
