A Rainy Day Amusement


Few mothers know how to make mod
cling clay for the children and yet 1t is
a great help in keeping them quiet and
contented on a rainy day. 1t not only
amuses them, but develops thought and
originality. They will quickly learn to
make cups, saucers. vases ana animals
of various kinds. The clay may be used
over and over. and II wrapped in a damp
cloth when not In use will keep for some
time.
To make 10, mix with water until 1t
will mold like dough, and will not stick
to the hands. one cupful Of flour, one
half cupful of salt and teaspoonful of
powdered alum. If you wish to color 1t
use the harmless candy or cake dyes.
Many of the grown-up children enjoy
this modelling in clay as much as do the
little folk. Next time you want some
thing novel for an informal evening, give
each guest some clay and a model to
copy. The fun will start Immediately.

Tidal Wave of Collars

From the New York Times.
The increase of space devoted to their
collar stocks is causing some disquiet
to the furnishing goods retailers who
would keep abreast of the times in styles
and sizes. The frequency with which the
new modes are introduced. combined
with the necessity OF keeping on hand the
more conservative styles, has been re-
sponsible for the growth OF collar stocks
AS one retailer put 1t: III new styles
continue to be turned out almost every
day we will have with US the middle
aged customer who prefers not to deck
himself out like the college youth, the
result must be the swapping of my store
by tidal wave OF collars"
