and sunbonnet are all drawn in black ink. [Illustration: FIG. 86] [Illustration: FIG. 87] The little girl is now complete unless you wish to have her stand by herself, in which case cut a circular piece of cardboard and glue her upon it by the flaps on her shoes. If you would like to make her useful, you can attach two or three tiny sheets of courtplaster between her skirts or several leaves of flannel, so that she can serve as a penwiper. [Illustration: FIG. 88] _A Paper Santa Claus_ =Materials Required:= The same as for the Country Girl. [Illustration: FIG. 89] Another delightful little paper person made on the plan of the Country Girl is the Santa Claus shown in Fig. 87. He makes a charming Christmas card to carry greetings or a gift. The pattern (see Fig. 88) is made five and one-eighth inches high by five and a quarter inches wide, of brown paper, in the same way as the pattern of the country girl. Santa Claus is also cut from watercolour paper and bent according to the dotted lines. The colouring should be red and white, of course, with a green holly wreath. It would not do to forget the Saint's pack, which is cut from the pattern shown in Fig. 89. It is painted brown, with gaily coloured toys--dolls, drums and Noah's arks--peeping out at the top. Paste it between the two sides of Santa Claus near his shoulders. _A Seashore Boy_ =Materials Required:= The same as for the Country Girl. [Illustration: FIG. 90] As a companion for the Country Girl you can make, if you like, a Seashore Boy (see Fig. 90) in just the same way. The pattern given in Fig. 91 shows where the paper is to be folded. From all the folds the paper should bend backward except on the lines marked A, from these it bends forward. The colouring should be mostly blue and white. The great sun hat will be straw coloured, of course, with a blue band. His short socks are of white, with brown legs showing above them, and his suit should be blue, or a white one with a blue tie. The pail may be painted red. _A Valentine Favour_ =Materials Required:= A piece of watercolour paper a foot square, A box of watercolour paints, A strip of scarlet china silk 5 inches wide by 1/2 yard long, A yard of scarlet baby ribbon, A spool of scarlet sewing silk, A bodkin, A tube of paste, Scissors. A boy or girl with deft fingers can make the most attractive little valentine favour imaginable in a short time and at very slight expense. It is a double heart of watercolour paper, painted scarlet and with a silk puff of the same colour drawn up at the top, making a bag for bonbons.
