Here are some pretty ones in
various languages: "_Nun guten ruh, die augen zu_" (Now go to sleep,
and shut your eyes). "_Cap-a-pie_" (From head to foot). "_Ad ogni
ucello, suo nido e bello_" (To every bird its own nest is beautiful).
And here is one in English:
"Shut little eyes, and shut in the blue;
Sleep, little baby, God loves you."
The same idea can be beautifully applied to a pair of large blankets,
but this is rather a considerable gift for young people to undertake.
SUMMER BLANKETS.
A pair of thin summer blankets, of the kind which are scarcely heavier
than flannel, can be made very pretty by button-holing them all round
loosely with double zephyr wool in large scallops, and working three
large initials in the middle of the top end.
A WORK-BASKET FOR "SISTER."
For this, you must buy a straw basket, flat in shape, and without a
handle. It can be round, square, oval, or eight-sided, just as you
prefer. You must also buy a yard of silk or cashmere in some pretty
color.
