t Can Be Easily Made and Makes a Prettj Glfklor a Friend. A calendar of this kind will make i pretty gift for a friend, and to one whose fingers can readily handle the brush and paint indelicate colors the task of making it will be both simple »nd pleasant. Upon an oblong sec-

tion of white celluloid are painted a spray of yellow chrysanthemums and a butterfly, and to the sections are attached three strips of wide, yellow satin ribbon of equal lengths, the ends being pointed and tipped with yellow tassels. Upon the shortest strip are painted in white the days of the week, abbreviated. The midstrip, which is the longest, shows the dates; and upon the third strip are painted the names of the month, also in white and abbreviated. A pansy made of silk, selected in tints to correspond with those of the flowers and stiffened with crinoline, is adjusted over each strip, so that it may be slipped up or down to mark the day, date or month, thus making the calendar a perpetual one.
