REVOLUTIONS NEVER GO BACKWARDS time | 1 Domohc Dep-rhnent the shape of rice, eugar, raisins and other groceries from the kitchen sug- gest keeping shop. Small children can be kept both happy and busy at this game for quite a time; in fact, as long as there is some one to come to buy. A boy might like to fashion a card- board doll's house and furnish it with paper furniture. Some people think expensive are necessar¥ to children’s happiness, but mine out of 10 will prefer some simple, home-made affair, or an musement they can create for them- elves. The thing is to start something 1 little different from the usual form ' play enjoyed when in health. Some children like stuffing rag ani- mals that have been cut and stitched ready for filling and get lots of fun in seeing the animal grow. Pafterns for all kinds of animals can be bought and they can be fashioned from al- most any bits of cloth on hand. Pretty designs can be made with a box of mixed seashells sold for a few cents in the stores. A child will often find pleasure in these when it refuses its set of expensive building blocks. The shells will do so many things that the blocks cannot, so the child rea- sons. toys ONE WHO SUCCREDS. THE WRONG THOUGHT.

INSTRUCTIONS IN LETTERING. Dear Soeial Corner Sisters: Though twelve days late. 1 wish ) all a Happy New Yeat. 1 wish to thank Uncle Sam’s Daugh- ter for thrift card, although rather late in doing so. Could not write before as my family have been on the sick list, each in turn; and two weeks ago, to end things up in etvle, I had to go and get laid up with a heavy cold. I have read the letters to the last one, but did not feel much like writing, I thank Interested Reader for heau- tiful calendar. I was doubly glad to receive.it as I was confined |o my room and bed all that week. Had a touch of the grip. But am thankful the doctor broke it up. ‘Two or three weeks azo, one of the Sisters asked for instructions in tat- ting. I have the first lesson in tatting illustrated. If the HKditor wishes to use them will send them in. If not, will eend them to the writer directly if she will let me know through the col- umn or personally. BACKWOODS MOTHER.

He opened what he called a “Tigeon hole” which is the same as a vacant store in a block of buildiags in any town, and arranged it for church ser- | vices.
