To Ornament Photographs.
Take a piece of white unruled paper, one suitable for voter color paints, and on it paint a Tine of morning glories, roses, ivy or a spray of some | pretty delicate drooping flower. The spray or vine should curve in almost * half circle. Lay it away where the dust will not reach it until perfectly dry, then with a pair of sharp scissors cut out the flowers. Next take a piece of white cardboard, cut out a square nearly as large te the photograph, paste the picture over the I square on the wrong aid* of the paper 0 J Take the flowers and arrange them half ov°r the paper and half over the ! picture, and whea the position is satisfactory secure them with mucilage. Frame the card with an oak frame, and a very pretty effect will be obtained. Insteed of the painted flowers pressed ferns and mosses may be used with excellent results.
