A HOMEMADE DOLLS HOUSE.
BY HiLDA suslck.

A friend of mine entered her I'VE
vear-old son in kindergarten. She
took him there every day. and once in
a while stayed with her three-year-old
daughter to visit. Noticing that the
children were happy because they were
busy with work which appealed to
them. and that the dolls house was
frequently the center of attraction,
she decided to allow her little ones to
make house at home. So for 20 cents
two wooden egg boxes were secured
from the grocer. amid much excite
ment on the part of the children.
The boxes were taken straight to
the children's corner. and it was de-
cided that work should be done on
them on rainy days only. and that the
children were to do all the work II
possible.
AT their dictation. mother made q
list of the things they intended to do !:
Paint the outside of the boxes white !;
make q curtain across the front: have
n kitchen, dining room, sitting room
and bedroom: paper the rooms make
rugs for the floors and make furniture
for the different rooms. The next thing
to do was to prepare list Of the va
rious materials needed: Paint, paper.
scissors. thumb tacks. cardboard boxes.
Epools. glue scalloped-edged tissue
paaer napkins for window curtains.
