CUBICATURE

pressing the two top ends together (do you know the sort I mean?) painted in Bright colours. Father would like a set to keep on his desk and to use for keeping papers together. Give a set to mother to keep her shopping lists or receipts together, and your form mistress would probably love one with which to elip your examination papers. First of all buy some of these pegs

(they will cost a few pence only), then buy one or two tiny pots of quick-drying enamel—choose nice bright colours. Rub each peg with sandpaper so as to get a nice even surface, and then set to work to decorate them. Some might be painted all one colour, some in stripes, some with spots or a tiny spray of flowers on one side, and if you are very clever at printing you could mark each one to show to what use it is to be put. For example, father’s desk set should include two for bills marked “Paid” and "Unpaid,”'and two for letters “Answered” and “Unanswered.” Mother’s set could he labelled “Shopping Lists,” “Recipes,” “Receipts.” “Unpaid Bills.” etc.

A Sponge Doll. Your baby brother or sister, would simply iove a sponge doll to take into the bath, and they are so easy to make. Buy a cheap red rubber sponge of an oval shape and cut straight through. Make three cuts, one at the centre of the. end of the sponge, two slanting ones at either

side about halfway up. Each cut should be about one and a half to two inches long.. Now get some thin string and tie your sponge tightly across the top. between the two slanting cuts, and at the. end of each cut, to make neck, wrists and ankles. Tie the neck, wrists and ankles as tightly as you .possibly can. but the waist should be fairly loose, because you want a nice fat doll. . Sew two black boot buttons on to the face for the eyes and a bright red bead for a mouth.
