SOMETHING TO MAKE.
You have all seen those pretty papier mach© bowls, but have you ever tried to make them? You can, you know, and I'll tell you how. Collect as many blue paper sugar Ibags as you can. Open them out flat and pile- them together boforo-you start work. Get" mother to lend you a basin, and then after laying "this the wrong side uppermost on a table, begin sticking all the sugar bag paper over the out-, side of it as -flatly as you can. Of course you must soak each piece of paper well before you place it on the bowl. You'll need ever so many layers of the paper placing them one over the other, and flattening, the surface as test you can as you go along. Leave the papers •on until they are thoroughly dry, then coat over with-var-nish, or gum. When this is quit© dry, gently remove the paper covering from the china bowl, and yoil'll find, you have thus made a lovely little bowl. To jfinish it off all you have to do is to paint it some very bright colour.
