Then all you will have to do is mark
the eyes with pen or pencil and make
pair of toothpick feet.
Brownie Jim Gig. 81 is keeper of
the Nutland zoo. His body is an al
mond, his head a chestnut, and his
arms are toothpicks. He wears broad
shoes made of pumpkin seeds and
hat made of cup from a large
acorn.
The spider Gig. g. Is a monster,
but is quite harmless. It's body is
peanut, and its legs are bent tooth
picks.
Nutland sparrows are just as fat and
saucy as any live ones you have ever
seen. Select a peanut for the body,
make the feet of toothpicks, and mark
the eyes and beak with pen or pencil
For the porcupine pierce one side

broken toothpicks into the holes for
quilts. Then provide four toothpick
legs.
The "gump" lives only in Nutland.

legs are halves Of toothpicks.

QUALITY OF "CHARM"
MOST DESIRABLE, BUT SOME
WHAT ELUSIVE ELEMENT.
Simplest of Touches May Produce 1t,
Where Elaboration Fails-Mistake
to Have Too Much Furniture
in the Room.

Charm is a subtle thing. Occasion
ally it is accidental, when old heir
loom furniture forms the keynote OF
the room, and when no hideous mod
ern touches have crept in to spoil its
spirit. But mostly it is the result OF
long study and discarding of the SUI
perficial things, an outgrowing Of the
childish love of pretty" flowers such
as are unsuitable in paint and paper,
q repudiating of the temptation to
have red, a green and a blue room
on the same floor, a realization that
the grayish plaster, which we have
just read of, may be more austere and
lovely than the finest of gold paper.
The charm of a spinning wheel; the
charm of q beautifully polished floor;
the beauty of faded red brick hearth
these things and hundreds more are
to be realized and practiced before
charm can be hoped for. II Is never
possible to obtain 1t with a red carpet
or a splashy rug, garish wallpaper and
shiny oak furniture, for the fundamen-
tails would then be all wrong to begin
with
But it would be possible to obtain 1t
with painted furniture of good design,
no matter how cheap, a delightfully."-
plain rug which harmonizes with the
tone Of the furniture and cream walls.
In this case the beginnings are all
right, and one is allowed more leeway
in working out the details.
And if you hope for charming din

have one or two good-really good
pictures on the wall, have none.
Never have a whole lot of little ones.
Be sparing of your display of silver
one or two beautiful pieces are more
effective than a dozen. Put your cut
glass away-hide it! Simplify your
curtains-above all, don't have lace;
but plain thin silk in old blue, old
rose, old gold-all the "old" colors are
wonderful A chintz is a good design.
If you feel doubtful about what con-
stitutes a good design, take a peep
into a reputable interior decorating
shop, where all the designs would be
of the best, though, of course, all
would not be suited to just your room.
And If the prices in such a shop were
too high, you would start out for the
lower prices with good idea of what
to buy
