The Puritans And Thanksgiving Day

Woman

Place the pattern (Fig. 1) on the strawboard.

Mark, and cut out.

Dress the figure to look like Fig. 3 - in this order:

1. Skirt (black).

2. Apron and waist (white).

3. Belt (black).

4. Sleeves (black).

5. Cape (black).

6. Collar and cuffs (orange).

7. Facing and strings of bonnet (white).

NOTE. The right arm, Fig. 3, must be cut out and pasted on when the sleeve a is made. One or two children could use one pattern, and, a day or two before the lesson, mark out as many figures as are needed. This would obviate the necessity of cutting out so many patterns.

The bonnet and shoes are made black with pen and ink. Leave the hands, face and stockings brown.

Man

Dress the man (Fig. 2) in this order:

1. Forward leg (black).

2. Coat (black).

3. Sleeves (black).

4. Collar, belt and hat (orange).

Note. In making the hat, paste the under part, 0, on first, then the upper part, Fig. 4. Make the hair, hat band and shoes black with pen and ink. Leave the stockings, hands, face and gun brown strawboard.

Figures similar to these may be dressed in studying the different peoples.
