THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29 L j9|q.-TnK JUXIOR CALTJ
FOR THE YOUNGER JUNIORS
MISS DOLLY'S BOUDOIR
ONE of the newest additions to the
outfit of the fashionable doll is a
set i of hangers for her frocks and
coats. With these goes a set of drawers
made of boxes, such as real ladles of
fashion use for their gloves, veils,
handkerchiefs and other' trifles. All of
these things are made in sets to match,
so that they will add to the attractive
ness of the daintiest doll, boudoir or
dressing room.
A set. of this sort which was made
for a lovely young doll whose room is
all done In pink and white was made
of pink satin ribbon on which lit
tle white flowers , were painted. " A
great many little girls know how to.
painta little on silk or satin, but un
less you have had some experience at
this sort of work it is best not to at
tempt It, . but to make your hangers
of the plain ribbon or •of ribbon on
which are tiny flowers. ,
The metal hangers, which are to be
covered- with ribbon, may be. bought
in the stores and are exactly like those
used by real persons, only smaller.
Narrow ribbon may be used and twisted
all around them, or If, the ribbon which
\u25a0 you have Is too wide for this then it is
gathered on "the hanger and served
carefully together along the edges.
The little coveredboxes which, are to
be used for Miss Dollj'V small belong
ings may be used singly or several of
them may be fastened together, to make
a. tiny, chest of drawers. The sort of
boxes -necessary are 'those in - which
some. kinds of tablets come, which 1 have
a little, drawer to pull out. „
The .first thing to do with the box Is
to' take out the:little drawer, and !cover.
the exposed part, the front 'and back,
with a ; narrow piece of ribbon ; which Is
just "the right width. This you may
tack on, at each end of the front and
back, but if you carry it around the
sides of the box it will not usually slip
back and forth easily. If, however, you
find that the drawer fits the outer box

loosely enough to permit' -the extra
thickness of ribbon at the 'skies It Is
best to put; the ribbon all the way
oround, as it makes the box stronger.
After you- have covered tho .''little
drawer.' ln this fashion you then proceed
to cover the outer side of the box. ; For
this 'a broader piece of ribbon ls^ neces
sary — one large enough to cover the
entire sidn of the box; This ribbon
should be of the sanifi: color as that
used to cover the drawer*. Take this
broad ribbon and carry it all the way,
around the box nnd overhand It at one
of the corners, It may be necessary In
order to keep the ribbon in place to
attach It to the box by a few little in
visible stitches. , .
Put a little loop of ribbon or a button
on the front of the drawer to pull it
out by.. , ' ' .. ..'
If you 'arc going to make a set of
drawers ,'. put one * box above another
before putting on the broad ribbon to,
cover the outside. The drawers should
be covered as in the other box. Then
the outer boxes are tacked together
and the outer ribbon, put around all
the boxes and sewed together at one
of tho upper corners. . The little chest
of drawers may be finished withla rib
bon bow at the top if desired. Another
way of Jlnishing it, which^is even pret
tier, -;ls to, make, ajlittle net or thin
lawn cover for the' top and edge It with
a narrow ; "ruHle of lace. The cover
exactly fits the { tojp and! the lace . ruffle
falls iover ;the edges. This makes /the
set of drawers look' more like a real
bureau than' the bow at the top. -.-'; ;•'•'.•.
i It ; -may/take you some; time to find
just theright. box for ithis purpose, but
If you 'once' get a box or a 'number of
boxes '.<with \ the • little drawers -don't
hesitate , to make the pieces of. furniture
because you have not the proper ribbon.
Flowered chintz,' blue.or pink chintz or
flowered dimity will make nice cover
ings if theedges are neatly turned in.

A WILD ANIMAL HUNT
TTN RTntisinK diversion for a party at
/A which the guests are small chll
dren is a wild animal hunt. The
animals may be bought at any toy store
In' large* quantities and at little cost.
They are hidden about several rooms
In all sorts of out of the way places and
odd nooks. The : game is first to find
them, but, they must not be disturbed,
when "they are found,' but' must bo left
standing where they arc until the child |
who has found them has guessed what 5
they are. The boy or- girl who finds
the most animals and guesses what
they are Is declared to be the prlzo
hunter and Is awarded a prize.
In order to make the gucßsinS P nrt
worth while it is necessary to place the
animals in such.a way that only a part -
of them can be seen, and that not tho
most characteristic part. For instance,
the head of a^ lion should be hidden
even after the/animal has been dis
covered, and the long neck of a giraffe
should be stowed away in such a man
ner that it, cannot possibly be seen by
the finder.of tho animal. A toy cat also
will look liko a number of other ani
mals if Its head is hidden. In. fact, by
carefully placing the animals you may
be quite sure that the guessing will, be
none to easy. If the party is for very
'little children who are:not acquainted
with all of the animals it In not neces
sary to take the pains to conceal their\
characteristic features. If older chll- \
dren are the guests and It is'found dif
ficult to conceal tho animals sufficiently
well paper coversmay' be put over, part
or all of them and the player forced to
make his ': guess -with Uhis obstruction
to his sight.' Only one guess for each,
•animal is allowed/to each person,, and
the guess must •be I made .. within a-. rea- >
Isonabletime.clf the; player takes ;:too
xnuch time for; one ani mal he of course
; loses -^ '-the -opportunity ;, of I finding ,as ,
'manjvas the more sprightly players do.
Therefore' it is : not '\u25a0 necessary; to ; have a
penalty. for taking toblongtogucss an
" animal until "5 the '-end if of the ;. game, v
Then sometimes 'a- player '.-will keep
everybody waiting" for the award while,
he takes an. unusually long time for his
Inst guess.. In such a case after every
body else has finished the others maji
gather around the dilatory player and
count 100. If he. does not guess what
the animal Is — or, rathor, if he does not
say what . he thinks It is — ho is then
counted out and the award is made at
once. \u25a0
An Unexpected Promotion
Benny's intellectual achievements
were far from notable, but in the eyes
of his small sister! he, was none the less
a wonderful personage.. * She keenly
resented allusions to his lengthy; stay '
in the last desk row at school, although
Benny himself took quite a cheerful
and philosophical view of the matter. \u25a0'-
One afternoon the little girl appeared,
-flushed and panting, in tho library v .
doorway. .
"Daddy,", .she exclaimed, "you prom- •
. Ised Benny a dollar when^he got moveil
off the bottom bench, 'and now he's
\ip in the'next row with me and — -"Ben-,
I ny. himself entered s just ; ; then, In his
usual unconcerned way.."
"Why, what's this I, hear, my son?"
his" father .welcomed ' him. \, -"I'm very
'glad .you've j worked-^, your way up—" "
The ; boy uricomprehend'ingly. ;
''Elsie says ; you're in the second, row -
now," his father continued, in-, expla- v .
