GIFT CORNER

For the Girls in Particular

'■ Kitty Kitchen For Kitty you will want a plain wooden spoon about 14in long, a dish mop, one tea towel, a coloured duster, a dish-cloth, and one yard of coloured ribbon.

Place the spoon with the hollow side over the head of the dishmop, pushing back parts of tha threads of the mop, and tie the two firmly together below the bowl. Tie! also at the other end. Then, on ! the round side of the spoon, mark, in pencil eyes, nose, mouth. Pin or sew the tea-cloth round the spoon and mop to form a frock.] Over this put the duster to form! an apron, and place the dish-clothl round the neck for a shawl. Then; write on a card:

You stir your porridge with my{ face, And with my apron dust the places Wash up the dishes with my shawlj ’Tis strongly made and not too small.

My skirt, you see, is really novel I ’Twill dry your glass without mucli' trouble; But, if you want a mop instead, You’ll find one in my wooden head[| Although my hair has turned quit(l white, J I’ll work for you both day and,] night. Suspend this from the doll’s neck by the ribbon, using one-hall of it for this purpose, and tie thd other piece round the neck of Miss Kitty, finishing it with a nice bow. Mother would like this for a Christmas present.
