RAINY DAY SURPRISES
Helen Gregg Green

happened to be calling on Patty's
mother one rainy, gloomy day, when
the little one became a bit restless.
Excusing herself, my hostess said,
"I'1l be back in minute, want. to
ger Patty her rainy day surprise pack
age"
She returned with most enticing
large envelope, full of bulges. Patty
Jumped up and down excitedly, clap
ping her small hands.
ooh, Mother Marie, how lovelyP
And away ran Patty with the buigy
envelope. :, :,
"The package looks interesting" I
said. was about as curious as Patty.
81 have a number of such packages
put away for days like this one"
Mother Marie explained. I've taught
Patty to entertain herself. and she's
very resourceful. but when have time
I make these surprise packages tor
special occasions.
"A half hour later Mother Marie
called to Patty to bring in her sur
prises. Patty danced In, eyes shining.
"Look! Aren't they gorgeousg And
she held up brightly-colored squares.
triangles, oblongs, paper lantern, and
a put-together puzzle. She handed me
slip Of paper on which her mother
had written in colored crayon:
!. Cut out a red, green, and black
two-inch square.
2. Cut a blue and a red triangle.
8. Put "Boy with torn hat" puzzle
together, very neatly.

and two inches wide. Crayon one

s. Cut surprise.
"You see" my hostess explained,
you can buy package of colored art
paper, and heavy white paper which is
ruled into half inch, or inch squares.
With these you can make hundred
rainy day surprises. Patty's second
grade teacher taught her how to use a
ruler, and measure correctly. but if she
hadn't could have done so in short
time. The puzzles are easy. I cut a
colored pictures from a magazine,
often using lovely cover, and paste
it on thin cardboard. Then I cut it in
many pieces and put these in an en-
velope
"The paper lanterns are very simple
i You use sheet of the colored paper,
or white paper which has been paint
ed, or some which has been colored
with crayon. First, fold it evenly,
then make attached strips by cutting
on the fold to within an inch of two
of the edges; next, unfold and paste
the side edges together; last, paste on
small strip of paper for a handle. y
my DEAR" interrupted, "of course
you have all these clever ideas because
you were a teacher. But what about
us who have never taught"
20, fe" she laughed, "use little
irnagination!"
"Tell me the rest" I eagerly coaxed
"Well. of course the Lady Louise
stunt is obvious. simply have Patty
color some paper dolls cut from a
magazine, always giving them fanciful
names, however 1t makes things a
bit more interesting know you made
You simply fold bright sheet of pa.
per many times, and cut it in fancy
shapes, until, when it is opened il
makes an attractive pattern.
I felt really grateful for what she
