PASTIME FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

M.Mng Wafer Flowers a Fascinating and Pleasant Task. The wide-awake girls- can find a good deal of pleasure In the pretty work of making flowers of colored Wafers. The articles needed are a penknife, a pair of scissors, a pair of pincers.

some fine wire, such as florists use, and a box of colored wafers. The first thing to do is to cut out a disc of white cardboard, which may be neatly done by laying a coin on the board and cutting carefully around it. Bore two little holes in the disc and run the wire through them, twisting It into a stem, as shown at A In the illustration. Attach a yellow wafer to the center of the disc .and around it place five red wafers. On the red wafers place five white wafers, vertically, as Bhown at B, and between the white and the red put rose-colored ones, at an angle of 45 degrees, as shown at O. These colors are merely suggestions; any may be used that your fancy may prefer. Having made as many flowers as you think necessary

add ferns or grasses to complete the bouqet. The effect Is quite pleasing. A suggestion of it may be seen in the second illustration.
