Still another variety is made of five small disks about the size of pennies or nickels. Group these to form a large disk and make a center in any of the ways previously described. Folded Disk Flowers. Other designs for petals can be le by folding the disks and then g edges. For instance, ircle of paper three times through he center, thus making each folded vortion an eighth of circle. Trim off a section of the circular side, cut- ting from one of the top edges toward the center but not to it. Unfold the circle and you will have four petals suggested. Make two of these petaled pleces of different material and put one on top of the other with petals coming alternately. Form a center and the blossom is completed. Pansy Blossoms. Cut two circles, one, a trifle smaller than the other, fold and trim to make the petals as described. Open the arger one until it is folded only in half. Cut fre f to notches, form- ing one section petals and you will have a heart-shaped portion. Open aller circle until folded but once. Trim a trifle more off edges of one half.

Mothers get too close to children and friction sets up mner- vous irritability, which, with the best tempt at suppression, registers it- self upon the child's mind and in his conduct. It is as good for the mother to have a rest from the children as it is for the children to have a spell of living away from home. “My child has never been a from me a single day since he wi born. He would not know what to do—he would be lonely and homesick —he_ would be ill—he might be in- jured. I am his constant companion and know just what he needs 1t would astonish you to know that the counselor would have to prod that child to write his arrival postal card, so absorbed is he the very first evening of his appearance in { Don’t you know that the child needs to learn to take care of himself, apart from his home and his mother?

A new place and a new audience call out a brand-new set of responses, and the camp rou- tine, if it is the right kind of camp, fixes them. If I have a grouch and you have a grouch and the next door neighbor has a pet one of his own, the chances are all three grouches not only do the appearance, but in flavor. And for that flavor you must de- pend upon the name on the maker’s label. The very goodness of Kraft Cheese — the is the very quality you want in cheese, so camp. | of | D.
