[= A i 'way the book was made. ~~ For Elizabeth By DEBORAH FISHER Elizabeth is four and like most oth- er little girls of that age delights in pictures, especially those in "pitty colors"; so when we made a picture book for Elizabeth, we discarded all our black and white pictures and use only our carefully hoarded colore ones. : But first, may we tell you about tha book itself? We used strong, brown wrapping paper for our pages. The neutral color of the paper made an excellent background for the pictures. Then, too, the brown does fot show baby finger-marks as a light paper would do. The big sheets were fold- ed, creased very thoroughly, and then torn along the creases. These torn edges do not have the trim appear- ance of cut edges but they eliminate the* danger of painful paper cuts on baby fingers, and we thou.ht, have a certain unfinished charm of their own. The pages in Elizabeth's book were to be twelve hy eighteen (nches, so our big sheets were torn twenty-four by eighteen inches to make double sheets. We prepared ten of these, folded each down the center, and then inside the other im book form. To hold them together, we stitched them down the center of the middle sheet by and, 'using a darning needle and black waxed thread and making the stitches about an inch long. For covers, we used two sheets of sHft cardboard, each thirteen and a halt by twenty-two inches, We had purchased cardboard that was cover- ed on one side with brilliant scarlet moire paper, This covered side was used for the outside. On the inside of these cardboards, we painted a two- and-one-half inch border of soft cream. The two separate half covers were then joined on the out8ide with a strip of narrow, black adhesive tape, the black «on the scarlet proving most effective. To fasten the book to the cover, we pasted the first page to the front cover and the last page to the back cover. And now we were ready for the pic- tures that Elizabeth would love best. We had been saving them for months, brilliantly colored advertisement pic- tures cut from magazines, pictures used to illustrate stories, and, rarest and most precious of all, animal pie tures. We had babies of every age and description, doing a'l the correct baby things---plarinz with their toes, drinking milk, r for their dad- dies, learning t There were babies awa aa asleep, and one adorable set of ¢ gazing wide- eyed at this wonderful world that brought a gurgle of ecstasy from Elizabeth. Then came pictures of little girls and boys, with their mothers, with their fathers, wit) both parents. There was a little girl with her grandmother, a boy with his grandfather, children with dogs, children at a party, at a picnic, at home on a rainy day; chil dren in the country, in the city, at the seashore, at the farm; q little boy's playroom and a little girl with her family of dolls. . Children of other lands followed these, The Dutch chidren we found illustrating a story in a popular maga- sine. The Indian children were in an advertisement for a certain make of automobile. Then there were Eski- mos, little southern pickaninnies, dain- ty, doll-like Chinese and shy French peasant boys and girls. Our animal pictures came next, We had cows--beautiful cows they were --grazing peacefully in a clover field, horses with their heads up and tails streaming in the wind, a baby lamb with its mother, an adorable, disre- putable goat and a family of pigs so realistic we almost heard them squeal. Then transportation pictures -- an airplane, a railroad train, automobiles, street cars, busses, steamships, camels and donkeys--dozens of them. Elizabeth loves her picture book. She croons over the babies and fol- lows with intense interest all the do- ings of the boys and girls in the pic- ture world. She plans long trips on the airplane and the steamships to the countries where the strange little children live. But the animal pic- tures have a special place in her heart. We've never yet found anything quite as satisfying as <Elizabeth's long "Oh-h!" of delight when she comes to the page where the little pigs live with their mother, Elizabeth is interested, too, in the She has agked many questions about it and wants magazine pictures saved for a book which she herself plans to make, And thig second volume, even though it should lack some of the intrinsic charm of the first, will, without doubt, bring cven more sdtisfagtion. * There 3s so much joy for a child In doing things and in being able to say, 'I made it myself."--Issued by the Na- tional Kindergarten Association, 8 West 40th Street, New York Oity.

By Muriel Cotroni, Jack Dundas badn't had a meal that satisfled for days. But young actors out of a job get used to that! "Something's bound to turn up soon," mused Jack, with"the bright op- timism of youth, to his bull-terrier, "eh, 'Bill, old fellow?" Bil cocked a pointed ear and thump- ed a thoroughbred tail. Intelligence gleamed from his small eyes. Jack smiled fondly. He dodn't mind being hungry a bit, himself, now and again, so long as old Bill-- Something did turn up next morning. A letter from Jack's agent offering him a part in a touring company. The play was a new one, to be pro- duced by the author. "Don't know what kind of a show it'll be," said the agent, when Jack called. "But it's better than nothing, eh, Dundas, old boy?" "Youbet! I'm on top of the world. Juvenile lead, teo! Richards, you're a pall. Come on, Bill. you old blight- ef!" : Rehearsals began, but, as they pro- gressed, Jack's heart sank There was no "pep" in the play. The dialogue was flat. The situations were improb- able. Still, the author-producer was enthusfastic. It was his first play, and if It went well, even moderately well, the first week on the road, a well to-do uncle had promised to finance it further. Jack put his best inlo the part. So did little Myrtle Blythe, who was to play opposite him. She, alse, knew the unrect of 'resting." "It is such a pity," murmured Myrtle one morning. "Beale is such a dear; It's hearfrendering! This show'll never run a week--if that!" "I know," replied Jack glumly, "You're right; it's pathetic!" "Well, I'm doing my best, but my Hnes are so hacknéyed" 1er eyes were troubled. *And the climaxes are €o banal," put in Jack. 'Still, we mii<t hope for the best. The public's funuy' Some plays, with absolutely nothing in them, have the dickens of a run!" show doesn't march" contributed Blessington, cast for che villain. He was young, and on the threshold of his career. "Well, cheerio, chaps!" 'I love your dog!" murmured Myrtle, stooping to pat Bill, She looked up at Jack suddenly with her clear eyes, the exact: bluey-violet of hyacinths: "A dog's a great pall" "N-none better!" stammered Jack, momentarily knocked out by the bat- tery of those clear eyes. "By Jove," he thought, "if I can't make a love scene get across with a girl like that, I ought to be shot!" And Myrtle had been thinking al most the same way as she looked up at Jack Dundas, tall, lean--almost too lean--with his kind, dark eyes and cheery optimism. ». . + The opening night at last! The place was a North Country mill town, whose inhabintants were noted, in the profession, for their candour. It was about the last place on earth in which to open with a "try-it-on-the- dog, play. But Beale's well-to-do uncle happened to live in Hilton, so Beale had no option. The audience showed no signs of hostility during the first act, but there was an undercurrent of restiveness that told the tale plainly enough to an actor of experience. There was not even a ripple of applause until Myrtle's big scene with Blessington in Act Two. But she really was sweet, with her ardent young face and clear, ringing voice. Her personality got well over, but her lines lacked actu- ality, : The curtain fell on the act in al- most complete silence. Jack Dundas looked glum, last act," murmured Beale, patting him on the back and trying to smile, But his face showed strain. The fin- ale of Act Two should have got rounds of applause, "Go all out in the big scene, Myrtle," whispered Jack, as the girl brushed past him on the way to her dressing- room. "If we don't hit 'em then, I'm afraid the play's doomed!" Myrtle smiled. "Rely on me," she said. . L -. The next act evoked more interest. 'One or two of the more witty lines got a 'hand." Beale sighed with relief; but Jack still harboured doubts, and big ones, too. It was a kitchen scene. The come- dians had retired, and the action had gradually worked up to the crash of the climax, Myrtle, in a plain little gingham frock, was sewing by the fire. In the opposite corner her aged father sat, filling his pipe. "I'll just be goin' to the Golden Horse, Mary, lass. Shan't be long!" A puave face, unobserved, peered in through the open window, as the old man rheumatically rose and made his way to the door. .

He began making love--passionate, practised love. 'But why wait, Mary darling? know you care! mgt!" "Oh, but I don't know! I be sure? I--I hardly know you, Mr. Rookwood!" She stood looking pity- fully at him, with the innocence of a girl who had hardly reached woman- hood. You Come with me to- How can at her scared scream, Jack, manly and handsome, appeared at the door. It was a véry homely drama; a little too homely as one. or two stifled yawns, caught from the auditorium, testified. Followed a shuffling of feet, evidence of breaking tension, The threads between actors and audience were slowly snapping--:snapping. Jack's speech, which ought to have raised a torrent, was eceived with but mild enthusiasm. The vi 1, thwart. ed, clenched his fists, hen, with a snarl, he flung himself at Jack. A scream broke from the girl Suddenly there flashed from the wings a burly streak of white, and a huge bull-terrier hurled itslf at his master's seeming assailant, Blesingion darted swiftly aside to escape the gleaming fangs, dodged behind the table. Here hc was corner- ed, The dog, back to audience, had him set. In vain did Jack call--Bill might have been stone deaf. The vil lain backed to the open widow, see- Ing escape that way; but, with a bound, the dog was over the table. A ripple of surprised applause rose in the pit. Here was acting--the real thing! Then followed a chase round the small stage; the vilain of the piece pursued by a now thoroughly enraged bull-terrier. Bill overtook his quarry; with a triumphant snarl, his teeth pierced good cloth Came a loud rend- in, tearing sound. Applause was now general. Hearty whistles of approval from the "gods" --this was worth spending money to see! When poor Blessington, minus a sub- stantial portion of his nether gar- ments, took a clean dive through the open window, joy was unrestrained. And when the dog, his eyes wells of wickedness, deposited a large square of black cloth at the feet of the hero, the applause became riotous. Jack, very white, looked across at Myrtle. Her small face was set, but her violet eyes welled inspiration. "Carry on!" was their plea. Jack almost panicked, for the dia- Roughly he caught her to him, and; logue to follow was now worse than useless. He thought of poor Beale in the wings. Came inspiration! This golden opportunity was too good to be missed. The continued applause had allowed him time to think. He crosed to Myrtle. "Play up to me," was his whisper, as the applause died. Then he spoke, and Beale, in the wings, stood open-mouthed, as though witnessing the big scene in hls own play for the first time. "Dear heart, I love you!" Jack end- ed, taking the woman he loved in his arms, 'Say that from this moment you--you'll give me, abd him"--point- ing to Bill--"the right to guard and serve you! Dearest, will you be my | wife?" Her bluey-violet eyes, that reminded t Jack of hyacinths, were dark with | wonder; her red lips parted. "Dear, don't you know that I love you? Haven't you--guessed?""

Oh, the pride in that clear round voice! "For I've loved you, too, right from the very first moment!" He lifte¢ her on to the table, then perched beside her. Suddenly, with a bound, the bull-terrier was between them, with his large head snuggling against Jack's neck. : "Just we three'--from Jack--'now and for always!" "Just we three, now and for al- ways!" repeated Myrtle dreamily, and her smile was beautiful. "Wouf-wouf!" contributed Bill, thumping a thoroug) bred tail. And the curtain dropped to roars of ap- plause, Fd Three "curtains" they took--Myrtle, Jack, and Bill--for the audience in- sisted on Bill, who, bewildered, bark- ed heartily at his ad=irers. Then came a call for the villain; and Blessington, clad in a dressing- gown, made his bow, one eye on the! audience and one on--Bill, | » "Good enough, Ralph, my boy! Tl keep my promise.
