There are several things that are not exactly pretty, but are extremely useful, that the tiniest girl can make for her mother. Perhaps the most simple thing Is a dust cloth, a thing the housekeeper uses every day aul something she Can not have too many of.

As the cheesocloth Is a yard wide, It will be necessary to cut It oft in squares. Take each piece and turn in the edges, making a narrow hem, and when that Is done either hem with common white thread, or, if you know any fancy stitch, use some bright colored yarn and hem that way Instead. After the cloths are all finished fold them In small squares, pile them on top of each other and tie togethor with some pretty ribbon, making a dainty how on the top. Knife and Fork Case.4 For the girl who can sew a little on the machine a knife and fork case Is an easy thing to make, and will keep the silver from tarnishing or becoming scratched.
