T'HIS Christmas it is not just the
* children who will receive dolls
as gifts. Doll collecting is becom
ing a popular hobby for grown
ups. The most valued dolls are
of whatever materials may be at
hand and reflect the individuality
of the person who made them.
Rag babies of all kinds have an
important place in such a collec
tion. You will enjoy making the
one shown here. Book 2 offered
herewith also offers many sugges
tions for making and dressing
dolls from scraps of materials.
If you want to make the stock
ing doll, clip these directions and
keep them as this doll is not in
either of the books offered here.
The head and body are made of
the foot of the stocking cut off
where the heel begins, as shown.
Stuff this part with cotton or bits
of soft clean rags, sew across the
bottom and then wind a thread
around so that the toes of the
stocking will form the head. Fold
the leg and arm pieces lengthwise,
stitch, turn and then stuff. Wrap
thread around to make divisions
for hands and feet. Sew the legs

New Dresses for Holidays
rHESE two designs bring you
brand new fashions for mid
season dresses you’ll thoroughly
enjoy wearing to all the luncheons
and festive afternoons of the holi
days. They’re so easy and simple
to do that you can finish them in
plenty of time.
Drape-As-lfou-Please Dress.
This is not only new—it’s the
very newest, a real sensation, and
so easy to make! It is made with
a straight back and bias cut front
that you can wear with the full
ness at the sides, fullness all
round, like a dirndl, or fullness
concentrated in front, as the pic
ture shows it. Then fasten the
belt around your middle, creating
a soft, bloused line above! The
shirred shoulders and square
neckline are just as flattering and
smart as they can be! For this,
choose silk crepe, velvet or thin
wool.
Girdle-and-Panel-in-One Dress.
Of course that midriff section
isn’t really a girdle—it just looks
like one, and the way it is ex
tended into the front skirt panel
simply makes the pounds melt
from your appearance. This is a
beautifully slenderizing dress, and
so elegant-looking, designed with
such good taste! It fits beautiful
ly. Gathers above the middle sec
tion and below the shoulder give
just the right amount of fullness
to the bodice front. You’ll feel so
grand, and look so slim, if you
make this of velvet, wool broad
cloth, satin or silk crepe.
