The health department of New

horses drew it.
"A merry-go-round was made of
three lemonade straws fastened to a
large cork. On the six ends were
perched the animals, and they could
really swing, too. Another child cut
out some clowns from a magazine;
many accessories paper, string,
glue, old magazines, wire and other
things that might help in the play
were supplied.
This may seem elaborate, but kim

children can do marvels these days.

was out.
The Magic of Standing Crackers

hardly be pulled Off The Wonder

tie animal feet into hard tatfy while
it was hot and gently pushed them
into the waters or biscuit, the candy

holding the animals erect.
Next came a jelly animal hunt in
the summer parlor. Hidden every
where were the crackers, behind the
pictures, under the couch cover and
pillows, perched up in the plants. A
prize, a nice gray elephant, was
given for the largest collection. The
second prize was brown bear and
all the other children got smaller ami
mails. Prizes should always 20

Creating Circus

room was hidden the next surprise.
Many of the acts of a really-truly

with the regular three-ring arrange
ment. There was circle of large
corks with a different animal on
each, standing on his hind feet at
the command Of paper-doli ring
master with whip in his hand.
There was "giant" seesaw about
twelve inches long made of card
board and here the animals swung
up and down. A pyramid of the su-
gar waters was there with the little
animals standing in pairs on each
ledge. A long string of elephants
drew cardboard box made into a
little carriage with spools for wheels.
and in it two dogs held the reins.
Camels drew a cage of wild ami

decorations might be pretty or funny

Being a June baby roses were her

basis Of the decorative scheme, but
one birthday little wild pink roses
were cut from crepe paper pasted on
narrow pink ribbons and suspended
from the electric light dome, ending
at each place where a delighted kid

A Circus Centerpiece
This time there were six, for
always the guests were as many as
the candles on the birthday cake |
Under the rose canopy was a won
derful centerpiece. All of the chill
dren shouted at the funny animal
circus that stood before thenl-a real
circus tent or canopy made Of white
crpepe paper with touches Of red.
Little sticks held it in place, high
enough so that the animals could be
seen.
There they stood in a circle, the
little animal crackers that children
adore. Two by two, as birthday ami
mails should arrive, they came, ele-
plants, lions, tigers, sheep, horses,
camels and goats-all the animals
that we would see at a real circus,
and some others, too Soft white
sawdust was on the floor Of the tent

small seesaw made of cardboard on

still something better to come, for
they were to be allowed to make
