For Young Needlewomen

IF you want to give your small daughter (and yourself, probably) a lot of fun, buy her “Christine” (Book 1).

The Christine method of needlework was established by Miss Alice M. Booth, a qualified teacher of needlework and kindergarten. She has done a great deal of work among sick and crinpled children in hospitals in New South Wales and her experience encouraged her to put her method into a series of books. So'now we have the first of them —Christine.

Christine is a baby doll and the in structions for making her a complete wardrobe —woollies and frocks and pan tees, and even a Bunny Rug—are pre sented in the form of a story. Junior Miss may need some help from mother, but generally the sewing and knitting is not beyond the capacitv of an eight or nine-years-old. Most little girls like making doll’s clothes: Christine will tell them how and there are also some real paper-patterns included just like mother’s!

Miss Booth hopes to bring out other books in the series; one for a baby-boy doll and another for a school-girl doll, and later more advanced sewing instruc tions for older girls.

“Christine” costs 2/6 plus 2hd. postage.

It is obtainable onlv from Miss Alice M.
