We could neither speak nor move,

other sort of explosive, but our fears

that very same day the girls set to
work.
First they cut u piece of their req
material twenty-four inches long and
fourteen inches wide and hemmed 1t
with a tiny, neat hem all around. Then
they cut a piece of white seven and
one-half inches wide and seventeen
inches long. This they pinned in place
on the red cloth in exactly the center.
Next they turned in a tiny hem and
sewed it tight to the red cIoth-Susan
Louise did that beca use she was such
a good hemmer. Then with blunt.
kindergarten scissors. SO that she
wouldn't catch the white cloth. she
cut out the red cloth under the white
in the center and hemmed down those
edges in her best style. Now it was
already for the three stars of which
the girls were so proud.
But do you know, though they cut
by the best of patterns and sewed just
as carefully as even big folks could
sew. The girls couldn't get those stars
to look right! Either one point would
be too long or too short every time.
Finally Just about as they were dis

after all.

made from a straight grained cedar
post. They are very light and will
bend considerable without breaking,
other light wood will do. The way to
make the sticks is to split thin strips
off the post with an axe and then plane
to size.
Fasten the sticks together where
they cross with a fine brad and bind
with waxed cord. To hold them to
shape string is stretched from the
end of one stick to the next as indi-
Gated by the dotted lines near the
outer edge OF the kite.
The cross stick of the, bow kite Is
bent as shown in the drawing and il
is great sport to fly three OF these
kites at one time although it takes con-
siderable skill TO get them up and
very strong line to hold them.
Kites like the four stick in the draw
ing have always won the height con-
tests and are not difficult to make.
The box kites are not hard to make.
the cross sticks can be half Tapped OF
fastened in other ways as the makeI
may wish.
The best material for covering kites
Is tracing cloth, heavy colored tissue
paper and cloth that viii not allow the
wind to blow through II. A good
paste can be made by cooking a little
-four and water. but any boys mother
can show him how TO make the paste.
