Here's a Humpty-Dumpty toy to mako for the Easter breakfast table. He's a very rare fellow, and if.you make him to stand sturdily he'll be fun for a long time after. First bore two holes in an egg, top and bottom, and carefully blow the contents out. This may be done quite neatly without wasting the egg by putting a piece of tissue paper over the hole. Make two legs with matches, and cut two feet out of a cork. Fix these in two holes each side of the narrow end of the egg with a little seccotine. Paint two large arched eyebrows, two big eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and a rainbow-coloured cravat, and Humpty-Dumpty is finished, and will stand up splendidly.
