The lions are to be carved from potatoes with the aid of little
kitchen vegetable knives, and the lambs are to be fashioned from
cotton wool, matches, and mucilage.

At the pussy willow table the guests must show how expert they can be
at cutting cats, free hand, from flannel. Beads for eyes, and floss
and bristles for whiskers, are also furnished.

Prizes are given for the best and the worst specimen at each table.

A rabbit's foot charm, a small reproduction of the Barye lion, or
the well-known Perry picture of a lion, a Dresden-china lamb or
shepherdess, and a pussy-cat plate, pincushion, or paper weight are
suggestions for first prizes, and four little tin horns painted green
may be given as booby prizes to the four "greenhorns" who have the
worst showing.




AN AUTUMN LEAF DANCE


In the fall, after school has opened, some class often likes to give
a reception to the entering class. An autumn leaf dance in October is
the prettiest kind of one to have.

Decorate the school hall with branches of scarlet and yellow maple
leaves, or deep red and russet oak boughs.
