GIRL MAKES NOVEL REMINDER

Artistic Results 4 c b’ evec l by Use of Common School Slate and a Little Black Enamel. One girl, who rejoices in more artistic impulses than a .good memory, has made for herself the cutest little reminder Imaginable. The foundation is a slate like the youngsters use or used to use in the lower grades of school. With some black enamel she gave the frames two coats until it shone just like the lovely Oriental lacquer work. Thea from a Japanese tray she copied a 'few suggestive sketches of Fujiyama, the famous snow-capped mount, a pagoda or two on-the framework right over the black auami'i with some gray paint. To the

slate she tiling a slate pencil on a bright red cord with a tiny sponge at one end. This she hangs right near her bed, and when something she must remember strikes her just as she jumps into bed before sleep comes, down it goes on the pretty slate and is safe till the morrow. The same idea could be used for a girl who boards for laundry lists, or for messages which come by ’phone while she is out. «
