elaborate designs. Making mats of different
hued paper will often prove an absorbing oc
cupation. Some children find much pleasure
in the moulding of clay, and this can also be
procured from a shop that deals in kinder
garten supplies. The clay comes in a variety
Of colors, and out of it can be made fruits
and baskets to put them in, animals, birds
and many objects dear to a childish heart
There are few children who do not delight
IN cutting paper into all sorts Of figures, stars.
crescents, flowers animals, or the sembance
Of almost anything they can think Of
Little girls are amused by cutting out men
and women and making believe that they
are going to parties, weddings or some other
society function. Little boys enjoy cutting
out innumerable soldiers, making quite an
army. A beautiful mansion may be furnished
for the dolls, CT a camp made TOR the soldiers
from the pictures in the magazines.
A scrbbling book makes good foundation
for building the mansion The first page Is
the picture of the house, and each succeeding
page is a room. The necessary furniture for
each room can be selected from the magazines,
cut out and pasted in the book. The camp or
military post can be made in the same way.

must buy the things from him. II is a wise
plan to have odd prices so he will have TO

nurse if she wishes the child to enter into the

for entertainments Then it is that the mother
or nurse finds her ingenuity taxed to the
utmost to provide some new amusement that
will keep the little one cheerful without over
taxing his strength
Indeed. in many cases the mental attitude
has much to do with rapid recovery, as chill
dren are often exceedingly irritable and ner-
vous after severe illness The constant
fretting of the little patient to a great extent
rctards his recovery and this makes it neces-
sary to keep him as happy as possible during
the long weary days Of convalescence.
From my own experience ! have found that
there are few children who do not take de
light in making up games or IN telling stories,
especially those in which they have part.
Stories of travel and adventure, taking the
hero to far distant places by land and sea,
is a most interesting way Of teaching little
geography while amusing the youngster.
Piecing together the broken-up maps-to be
found at all toy shops-s quite an intricate
operation and is marveOuSly entertaining
And many instructive facts about the ami
mails, plants, cities, mountains and rivers Of
the country pieced together can be told and
even little of its history will be listened to
eagerly.
Any number Of stories may be built from
the pictures in the current magazines. A large
sheet of wrapping paper makes the foundation
for the story, the pictures being cut out and
pasted on it as the story progresses.
For instance. little boy or girl could start
on an automobile trip. Find the automobile
and paste it on the sheet, then the children,
the adventures they have and the sights they
see on the way. This kind Of a story will take
hours TO build, the interest being sustained to
the end and many children will enjoy repeat
ing il with the aid of the pictures
Stories which have a wonderful fascination
