SOMETHING TO MAKE

Mother would be pleased to have a coal glove as . present, so that she can lay coal on the fire without dirty

ing her hand. It will not take long to make, and, of course, only one glove is necessary* £o draw out a pattern.

ask one of the grown-ups to lay a hs flat on a piece of paper, keeping ■ fingers close together and the thu well out at the side; draw all rot the hand with a pencil, and not close to the hand. (See diagram No. You will have just the right sh! to cut from. ' The glove should be mad© ol Wi woollen cloth; the thicker it Is better. Cut ou two pieces md ms them a little larger than the patti to allow for turnings. Then cut t more pieces of some other material the lining. Flannel would do, or bo close material that would keep ' dust out. Place all four pieces togetl ready for sewing, remembering t the right sides of the two black pie must face «ach other, and one lin piece must be jn each side, of it. Stitch firmly together all round ' edge, leaving the open part at i wrist. Make three little cuts fit • edge of the material where the ins curve of the thumb comes (diagran illustrates this), before you turn it the right side, being very careful i to cut into the stitching. You will f that doing this will make the cun part lie quite flat when it is turnec Hem round the wrist and attacl loop of elastic, the right size to round a wrist; sew it on as ,uv sketch. Mother will slip this over wrist part of the glove before : puts it on, and the glove will keep comfortably.,
