A SURPRISE When we were in Vermont this sumaer, I decided what I would give my sister for her birthday which is in December. It would be a nice little doll, and I would make clothes for it. Soon after we came home from our vacation, Mother and I went down town to get a doll. Of course there were not many rubber dolls, and most stores didn't have any at all. While we were in Woolworth's, I suddenly noticed a large doll that didn't cost too much. I changed my mind at once and decided to buy it instead of a smaller one 0 My sister had to start to school earlier in September than I did, and she had only to go in the afternoon. So every day, as seen as she left the house, I would go upstairs to the guest room and sew for the new doll. I had no patterns some myselfs The first day I made a so I had to make bathrobe out of some flannel that Mother had given me. I also made a jacket with a heed ffstened on it. Then I cut it out and had it ready to sew. The next day I finished it. ' Mother had a carton of old scraps of cloth, and she said I could use some of it for dell clothes. I found a rather narrow strip of cloth like some pa- jamas I used to have. So I made a pair of two-piece pajamas for the doll. Then I started a blanket made with squares and fastened together with button-hole stitch. Next I made a blouse, but I didn't have time to make a skirt before my school started. I decided to make the and give it and the wrapped up in paper The night before stairs and took the skirt during Christmas vacation blouse later. The doll was and hidden in the store room. my sister's birthday, I went up- doll out and put her clothes in a little box. There were also some cardboard hangers which I had made. After we had gone to sleep, Mother came in tho room and put the doll on the foot of my s1ster's bed. lwhen she awoke in the morning she was very surprised and happy. The doll was named Jessie Jean.
