DRESSING UP

THE COSTUME BOX. Few things give children more pleasure than a box full of old garments, from among which they may hunt out costumes for impromptu dressing up, for charades, or for any kind of acting. If there is a spare corner available somewhere in the house it is well worth while to set apart an old trunk as a costume box and to keep it supplied with an assortment of cast-off clothing. During spring cleaning, when drawers and wardrobes are turned out, the costume box may be replenished with odd things that are hardiy suitable for giving away. Old hats, veils and scarves, school caps and blazers, sports clothes, bridesmaids’ caps, an old sunshade or an umbrella that is past repair, a college cap and gown; all such things are excellent material for dress-ing-up purposes. The use of a special box for this miscellaneous collection has three great advantages. Valuable space in drawers and cupboards is saved, the things are always at hand when required, so that no time need be wasted in looking them out, and there is much less fear of good clothing being hastily borrowed and perhaps damaged in the excitement of dressing up. bed between the window and the fire, but in the other corner out of the draught. A fire is a grand cleanser. Throw all the dirty dressings into the fire; do not let them lie about in the room. In infectious cases, such as sore throat, the scraps of food left on the plate should be thrown into the fire.
