By ESPIE KINARD NEA Staff Writer NEW YORK-—If you are long on little friends, short on cash this Christmas, make your own toys. Engaging dolls, animals, and crib toys can be whipped up in jig time of scraps of yarn and fabric. New hot-iron transfer patterns with sewing and finishing directions will make it easier this year for you to stock up a Toyland of your own making. Pairs of heart-winning Humpty Dumpties, flop-eared dachshunds, banjo-eyed pups, gaily dressed Goldilocks dolls and clever puppet toys may be made of scraps, stuffed with cotton, and given captivating features with odds and ends of embroidery thread. ” . ”

NEW puppet toys which beg to be taken in hand by a child and which will encourage the lucky tot to stage his own puppet shows make enchanting novelties for this year’s Christhas list. One puppet toy which comes out of a work-basket boasts the toy-like head of a pup but wears a man-styled jersey shirt

sized to fit the hand of a little puppeteer. This lucky little child will discover by thrusting his small fingers into the arms of the dog's shirt dozens of ways to have fun with his new puppet toy. Even tiny scraps can qualify for your Toyland this year as bean bags for babies. Filled with dried beans, a wee-sized Humpty Dumpty, for example— baby’s version of a larger Humpty Dumpty for an older child on your list—makes an intriguing crib toy for an infant. ’

Plan to dust off your crochet hook and knitting needles for the work ahead. Easy directions for crocheting talleared rabbit balls, winsome dolls and that jovial charmer, a red yarn, cotton stuffed Santa Claus with a goliwog pack charting every stitch of the way for the amateur "toy- - maker.

To obtain pattern for any of the toys shown send 15 cents plus one cent postage for each pattern desired together with the pattern number, your name and address to The Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis 9.

GARDENING—

By MARGUERITE SMITH IT'S definitely not the kind of

Sea Onion Not the Type for Stuffing

onion you'd use to flavor the stuffing for the Thanksgiving bird. But there's a hint of southern seas and a far country

_in the odd and rare sea-onion

raised by Mrs. George Lucas, 1556 S. Belmont Ave. Mrs. Lucas describes the bulb, topped with onion-like narrow leaves and clustering green and white flowers as a comical looking plant.” “Little bulbs form inside the skin of the big onion, it peels off a layer, then they tumble out and begin to grow,” she says of ts habits. “I've heard that they grow outdoors beside the water in warm countries. “And one summer a woman who saw thé plant as she was walking by, stopped in to get a start of it. I think she was Hungarian. Anyway, she said that in the old country they mashed them up and used them for poultices for blood poisonin, »

Like many odd houseplants the# sea-onion is a traveler. Mrs. Lucas, who has had her plant about 20 years, got her first one from Mrs. Jessie Pfeffer, 3302 N. Keystone Ave. Mrs. Pfeffer has raised them for nearly 40 years. “They'll take a lot of neglect,” laughs Mrs. Pfeffer. “When I'm busy and neglect them, they dry out. But when I get around to watering them, they revive and bloom.” Mrs. Jennje O'Brien, 1338 W. 27th St., whose start of the odd plant also came from Mrs. Pfeffer, says the bulbs sometimes swell to enormous size. Then they divide and start growing all over again. According to the plant ency.clopedia, the sea-onion is in much* demand for the drug trade.

Here's Tip to Keep Those 'Mums Fresh

Professional tips for your Thanksgiving centerpiece: If you're using your own garden chrysanthemums, they'll last longer if you plunge stems into deep water overnight, says Clara Grande Aulbach (Mrs. A. G. Aulbach)., Next morning arrange them in your flat bowls, using flower preservative in the water. “I know for a fact it keeps their color longer,” she says. “Cutting off a bit of stem each day is vastly overrated. It spoils the arrangement—you can hardly ever get them to-

“kind of

gether the same way again.” If you prefer ~blossoming plants, you'll find cyclamens on the market early this year for the holiday.

” 4 . FLORISTS use the special Italian bearded wheat, either in natural color or dyed, for many winter arrangements. gardeners who raised ornamental grasses can pick equally good material from their back yard. : Mrs. Louis Eggerding, 630 Terrace Ave. hurries her tall ornamental grass into fluffiness by washing it under the faucet, shaking it out to feathery softness, “Of course, she observes, “if you leave it outdoors long enough the frost eventually fluffs it out but then it gets so dirty.”

8 ” ” IF you're quite stumped for centerpiece ideas, here's a honey from “The Herb Grower.” Open the leaves of a green cabbage, leaf by leaf, under running water until it looks like

Gifts to Dutch Town Bring a Tulip Bed

Thanksgiving story. Needles, thread and soap helped build a tulip bed in front of All Souls Unitarian Church, 1455 N. Alabama St, Nov. 14. The church school has been sending these and other much needed materials to the little Dutch town of Terborg. - “This fall,” says Mrs. Wilma Johnson, church secretary, “we received a box of tulip and hyacinth bulbs. So we invited parents to bring a lunch and garden tools, and that Sunday after church we all had a picnic and planted the tulip bed.” (It occurs to me that a church
