Important Notice to “Graphic” Cousins.
BAZAAR TN AID OF SCHOOL, FOB MAORI GIRLS. "GRAPHIC” PRIZE COMPETITIONS. Dear Cousins, —It is impossible to tell you at present all the different objects for which I shall give prizes. But there will be heaps of prizes, and the more children (and elders) who send me objects for the bazaar the more prizes I shall he able to give. At present I can tell you this. There will be four prizes for the beet-dressed dolls in ordinary doll’s clothes, and four prizes for the best fancy-dressed dolls. Twa of eaeh will be for cousins under IS, and two for cousins over that age. SPECIAL PRIZE FOB A FROCK. There will be a prize of 41 for the prettiest little frock for a child from 4 to 6 years of age. This is open to cousins over 1» years of age only.
There will be a valuable prize for the prettiest or best-made pinafore or overall for a child of from 4 to 8 years of age. Prizes win be given for crochet work, for embroidery and for knitting. If there are any cousins who can make simple frames I will send pictures for framing, and give a prize for the neatest frame. A prize will be given—a very nice one too—for the most original and prettiest pin-cushion. It may be made in any form or shape you like. Country cousins can make boxes of ferns, and a prize will be given for the best.
Scrap-books are easy to make, and if made for the purpose at amusing very tiny children, always find a ready Ba l e . Very fine screens can also be mads of scrap pictures aad pictorial advertisements, and though these take some little trouble, they are well worth it. Writing causes and blotting books, covered in pretty silk scraps, are always purchased at a bazaar, and really beautiful effects can be secured in patchwork cushions, quilts or table-centres. I wonttar if any at these idea* will suit the bonsinsT
