_ (9jf XïOXK who liu.-j priced toys will
realize that a very great saving
" is possible in making toys at
home. For instance, from scraps that
have accumulated one can make ani
mal toys, as rabbits, dogs, cats, bears,
elephants, as well as many of the char
acter dolls that will prove to be a
perfect delight to small children.
Patterns can easily be procured for
making animal and doll toys from any
place where patterns are sold. One
•♦clever mother went even farther by
making "bunny," "cat" and bow
wow" slippers for the youngsters that
are a never ending source of pleas
ure. She outlined the face of a
bunny, cat, or dog In black ; made
ears and fastened them ou with but
tonhole stitch, and used tiny shoe
buttons for the eyes. The scraps she
uaed in making the slippers and many
of the animal toys were largely from
^ odds and ends that are usually thrown
away in making over garments.
A grandmother is making use of old
black and white silk stockings by mak
ing them up into character dolls. The
•yea, nose and mouth are embroidered,
• gay calico dress is made, a white
apron, and a red cape. This makes n
typical mammy that will prove a great
favorite with the children. Another
Idea which she carries out is to make
♦ the body half white and half black.
That is, put a white dolly on one end
and. a black one on the other. Arrange
the clothes In the
middle of the body
, and make them
suited to each
character. As a
suggestion, make
a Dinah for the
black part, so
that when the
black head is up
the doll will be a
pickaninny, and
so that when the
white head la ex
posed It will be a
white dolly. A
black stocking
^ may be unraveled to furnish kinky
hair.
One can also make email dolls out
of odd scrape of ribbons, voiles and
•Ilk combined with clothes pine. Paint
the faces on the head of the clothes
pin with ink or water color.
Hag dolls are perhaps the most be
loved by small children. Any little
girl would love to have a "Rnggedy
Ann," for her very own. "Raggedy"
^ Is manufactured from unbleached mus
lin. stuffed with cotton ; her features.

another coat will not be neuer- ary.
If enamel is used for the work, apply
a coat of flat paint first.
One can also use plain wall pupet
on the outside instead of paint, using
narrow strips of a harmonizing color
for the trimming. Often samples of
wall paper can be used to advantage
in the decoration of the Interior and
exterior of a doll house.
Doll furniture may be made from
the thin boards that come in boxes.
After it Is made, enamel It to make
it more attractive. Remember that one
must always apply tint paint liefore the
enamel. One mother who made her
little girl a lot of doll furniture used
odds and ends of gay cretonne instead
of paint for covering it. Small cuslb
Ions may be made of cretonne to fit
In the little chairs or settees. One
mother made a little sun parlor in
the house and placed a tiny, swinging
sent In it.
Compo board can also be used in
making doll houses. It is light and
one can ensily use wall paper on both
the inside and outside. Doll furni
ture may also be produced from it.
Fathers will find It possible to make
toy wagons, sleds and airplanes that
will give a great deal of delight to
the little boys. A grocery store can
be made from a box that will prove to
be a never fniling source of pleasure,
for all children love to play at "keep
ing store" and selling things.
Many things can thus be fashioned
which will be durable, washable, un
breakable and will nil make Christmas
presents for the children that will de
light them fully as much as the store
toys.—M. Palmer in Successful Farm

TOO BAD—OLD MAN
Whcui you find yerself entangled
in llui meshes of despair, till you
wouldn't know a blessin' if you had
it by (lie hair, It probably was
justice that connived to land you
there,
Too had, old man, loo bad!
If you chance to he affected with
the appetite for ibliss, till there
ain't no dissipation that you feel in
clined to miss, remember. Mister
Rounder, there's a hotter world
than this,
Too bad, old man, too had!
If you harbor the opinion that
you're double extry «mart, but can't
afford the camouflage to make you
look the part,—you ain't beyond ro
donitpoin, but you better watch yer
heart,
Too had, old man, too bad!
And when you feel roligiousor
than others you could name, and
■balk about yer neighbors in an ef
fort to defame,- remember that hu
ma ni I y is purty much the same,—•
Too had, old man, too had!

HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921
When many of us were young, a
common exclamation was; "I'm as
happy as a king!" Who Is «o for
lorn as to say that 'today? To be as
happy as a king these days is to be
unhappy Indeed. What a change
has come over the world in the mat
ter of ruling and rulers! Never be
fore was the "head that wears a
crown" so uneasy.
