Bright Idea.

Being a bachelor and somewhat absent minded, I often experience considerable Inconvenience by forgetting little things which 1 plan to do. Last Eastertime, however, I hit upon a plan which appeared to be a feasible solution of my difficulty. I had seen a clever, papier mache hen filled with eggs of candy Which would make a suitable gift for a little niece of mine whose birthday chances to fall on Easter day, and I decided to inaugurate my plan.
