FOR THE YOUNGER JUNIORS
THE DOLL'S WARDROBE
Mlrx Dolly must renlly have somo
now furs for the winter, and now is the
time foe, her little mamma to start to
make thorn, so that they wlH.bc all
completed before the cold weather ends.
Krmine fur sets are about as easy as
anything to make and they-.nre most
becoming to Miss Dolly. It Isn't at all
necessary to make thorn of ermine;
white broadcloth, eiderdown and cotton
batting will do just as well. Tiny
pieces of black cloth sewed on at Inter
vals make any of these materials look
like ermine. The muff this year should
bo quite large and round and the lining
of white satin or silk. The collar may
be a shaped one. also lined with silk, or
it may bo a stole, which Is much easier
to make. All that is necessary for the
stole is a narrow strip of cloth, with a
little padding inside. The edges of the
cloth are sewed neatly together on the
under side. Of course' the broadcloth
or eiderdown furs will last longer than
those of cotton batting, but then the
latter do not take much time or trouble
to make.
Swansdown is very lovely for dolls'
furs and a very little will go a long
way. A muff may be made entirely of
the swansdown, or if there is not
enough for this the muff may be of
velvet, satin or cloth, with edges of
swansdown. Cotton Is used for an in
terlining, and inside this there is an
other lining of silk, satin or silkollne.
White, black or gray elder cloth
makes veryeharming fur sets for dolls.'
The white makes fox sets, the black
astrachan and the gray fox or squirrel,
whichever you prefer. Velvet muffs and
those of silk or satin are also most at
tractive, ; and -brown or black plush
makes beautiful fur sets.
ILis always-pleasant to dress all one's
dolTa in- new clothes, for there are
pretty sure to be newcomers to"*tlie doll
family in holiday time and the dolls
that have been 1 In the family for some
time may feel rather shabby and dilapi
dated' unless they are supplied with
fresh costumes.

usual fashion it in a lot of fun to hnvo
thorn all in different styles of dress. For
instance, the boy dolls may be dfessed
as sailors, soldiers, foreign peasants/ as
gentlemen of the colonial period, etc.,
while the girl dolls may appear as Lit
tle Rod Riding Hood, a Quaker lady, a
trained nurse, flower girl, German
peasant, etc. There are no end to the
list of, fancy costumes one may have. to
draw .upon, and in almost any house
hold thero are plenty of pieces of ma
terial from which the costumes may bo
made. You will llnd it rtost interest
ing to dress the dolls In \u25a0 this fashion
and not any more difficult than to mako
than the usual kind of frocks.
Little boy dolls are having suits of
knitted wool, which »eem nice and com
fortable for the cold weather. Tho
suits include a sweater, a pair of full
trousers and long knitted stockings. A
little pointed cap completes the cos
tume. The entire costume may be very
nicely made up of the .tops" of old white
stockings, especially the heavy ribbed
ones. Of course, the summer stock
ings, with open work designs, would
not do, but there are often perfectly
good stockings the feet of Which are
worn, but which may be used < for the
boy doll's winter outfit. w-,5;>:
Haled to Say Vinesrar
Little Mary hated to say "vinegar"
l«»cause she. had been laughed at so
often for her- queer pronunciation of
the word.' So when her mother sent
her to the store to buy some she pre
sented the jug to the clerk and said:
"Smell of that and give me a quart."
Not Her Pie
"Does your mother allow you to have
tw> pieces of pie when you are at
home, "Willie? 1 ; asked his hostess/ "No,
ma'am." "Well, do you think, she
would like you to have two pieces
here?" "Oh, she wouldn't care," said
Willie, confidentially; "this isn't her
pie."

MOTHER GnOOSE UP FN THE AIR
The Apple Blossoms in Fall
Did you ever sec an apple blossom in
an apple? Of course you have seen
apple blossoms before they became
apples, but this is the apple blossom
inside of the apple! \
Well, I'll tell you how you can find
it, so that you can tell just what the
little apple started from when it first
began to grow in. the springtime.
Take as perfect and sound an apple
as you can find. Cut -if in 'two parts—"
across the core horizontally.
Now, make a thin slice through the
center in the same way that you. first
cut. Hold this thin slice of apple up to
the lights and there, sure enough, you
will see the delicate outline of the ap
plo blossom!
*I wonder how it came to be there;
don't you?

Wherever its blessings may fall;
There's sunlight •muhikli in God's heaven
To warm up the hearts of us till.;
Here is v song for the country.
With beautiful banners unfurled;
There's still love enough all around us
To hli-Ms and to brighten the world.
The same love that sings to our sorrow;'
A star in the shadows of night,
\u25a0That whispers full sweet of tomorrow,
And lift» up ami leads us to light. '
