" A HINT FOR CHURCH FAIRS. At this time most of the different church fi‘lfldl :d.mchfllubh societies are planni ai n: thelr - ter work: ThIN work mflmly st o at least one fair, and the ladies al- ways want to make each fair better than the last. It is none too early now to begin preparations for the Christmas sale. Novelty of decoration is not enough to insure success; there must be new things te sell, things that will at- tract attention. It 1s a good plan to have something for chlldren. Dressed dolls almost al- ways sell at Christmas time, but lit- tle girls who already have dolls will be delighted to find new things for them to wear. 5 Dolls' huts find a ready sale. They can be made of velvet or silk, or with felt brims and velvet crowns, and trimmed with bits of feathers or lit- tle stlk flowers. « They should be made in different sizes, to provide for dif- ferent sized dolls. Medium and large sizes sell better than very small ones. Little silk bonnets are good for dolls ‘whose hair is only painted. The cro- cheted toques that are so popular for _gt“e children can easily be made for olls. Little mittens crocheted without thumbs, and put on & cord to go around the neck just like children's will keep dolly’s hands warm, and ought to sell. Crocheted baby sacks might also be good, as well as little nightingales of flannel, or bits of cashmere. Dolls’ kimonas are very quickly made of flannelette or cotton crepe. The body and sleeves are cut in one; and the -edges are worked around in crochet with colored silkateen. These should be made in different | sizes. There are very good patterns that can be used as guides, or a person accustomed to making dolls’ clothes can draft them of different sizes. If only one size is used it should be for | medium dolls, and should be made loose, because some doils of the same height vary in the size of the body. ( It is a good plan whenever possible to have a doll of average proportions to measure by and to try things on. Night dresses that slip on over the head are easily made, and many a lit- tle girl will be glad to get one for her doll. They can be made from remnants of lawn, cambric or long cloth, and the neck and sleeves can be finished with narrow edging. A rib- bon run in around the neck would make a very elegant finish. In the winter time little flannel or flannelette petticoats could be made to sell very cheaply. They should have a casing in the top, and be drawn up on a tape to fit the doll. The should also be made of different lengths if possible. If one has some pieces of fur cloth or plush little scarfs and muffs cam | be made. The muffs should be put on a cord or a-bead muff chain, All things for dolls must be made as simply as possible, and should be in- expensive for children usually do not have very much spending money. Of course the kind and price of the ar- ticles offered varies with the com- munity where the sale is to be held. The people of a well to do parish in a large place that will attract many customers can offer more elaborate and expensive things thdn will sell in a It is al- ways a pity to have to sell at a very low price things that are exquisitely made and worth far more than anyone will pay for them. It is safest, there- fore, especially in thinge for children, to have something inexpensive. “JANE GREY. 5th. Like 2d.row. forwarded to Ready. 6th and 7th.

This magnificent bird house Wa$ made possible, though the generosity of Charles Parkman, and it is said to be the largest one in the world. It con- tains over one handred separate cages for the birds, and in the center 1s am immense flying cage, filled with brile liant-hued tropical birds and flowersy There are over four hundred birds housed in the aviary. The most rare and valuable is the Secretary bird from Africa, which is said to be the only one in captivity. It is & serpent-eat- ing bird of the tropics, and has a cres of feathers resembling a Secretary's habit of putting pens behind the ear. When this bird attacks a serpent, it corners its reptile with one wing (the wings being armed with spurs on the elbow joints) to protect itself from the bite, and with the other wing strikes violent blows until it has stunned its prey. There is also, a snow-white pigeon from South America & number of rar specimens of paradise birds, and a rare specimen of an albino jack daw. Bach bird cage is heated according to the amount of heat, required by each bird, and the ventilation and lighting system are a fine mechanical adjustment. if any of the Social Corner mem« bers visit Boston, they will find a visit to Franklin Park of more than ordin- ary interest.

EXPERIENGE OF MOTHERHOOD Advice to Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a try- ing one to most women and marks dis- tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of' strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it\is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change intthe mother results. There isnothing more charming than ‘a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditionsineed be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing im that, withlall the evidence of shattered nerves and’broken health resulting from. an unprepared condition, and with am- ple time in which to prepare, women will persist«in going blindly,to the trial.' Every woman at this time should rely" upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetabla Compound, & most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many 'homes once childless there ure now childiven be- cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetiable Compound mmkes women normal, healthy and strong.
