Little Nut People.

Queer tittle dolls may be made from various nuts. To make a “lady doll” take a piece of white cloth and draw tightly over one end of a pecan nut, sewing the cloth tightly on the under side to prevent the nut from slipping out. *Wrap the part of the cloth extending under the nut tn a little roll. Sew this together, and for the arms make smaller rolls of cloth in the same, way. Then sew the arms to the body. Gather the body a little above the middle. Sew on a white petticoat and make a simple dress. Fold a white neckerchief over the shoulders and paint a face on the nut. A bonnet may be added; if desired. Using a similar body, other figures may be made with many different styles of dress.— Youth’s Companion.
