PARCHOWRK PERSONALITIES.

SILHOUETTE PICTURES It is very fascinating to make silhouette pictures. Some clever people can cut them straight out of black paper, but to start with you can draw an outline picture on white paper and then fill it in with Indian ink, so that it is quite black all over. Start with simple things first, then when you get good at it try making portraits of your friends’ heads. If you succeed in making some really good ones, you could frame them in any little oldfashioned frames mother may have put away somewhere. I

THE BUTTERFLY The butterfly flies in the light And, glad, I follow after — But does he see me in his flight. And does he hear my laughter? Soft as a leaf he wavers down To rest upon a rose. Then, high tiptilting in the sun. On rainbow wings he goes. MORE CAREFUL Mother: “Bobby, when you were eating nuts in the bus, I hope you didn't throw the shells on the floor.” Bobby: “No, mother. I put them in the pocket of the man who sat beside me.” —Sent in by Annie Archer.

THE GLASS TREE ‘Oh. how pretty:” cried everybody. when they saw the little glass tree. “Put it up on the mantelpiece wher> it can be seen.” And really the little glass tree was pretty. It had delicate green leaver and flowers as blue as the sky and it was all made of the most fragile spun glass. When it was put up on tinmantelpiece it caught sight of itself in the glass for the first time and it really had to agree that it was a pretty sight. But the other flowers didn’t think so, the real flowers. When all the people had gone away they rustled their leaves together, which is the way flowers laugh, and the Daffodils said: “I don’t know what you think, dears, but I do like genuine things. Some people, and I won’t mention any names, don’t seem to me to be quite what 1 should call good stylo." “I should think not,” giggled tin Tulips. “Glass flowers, indeed. Wa.\ are all right because theyr’e old anti quaint and china aren’t so bad. but glass! What’s the world coming to?" So the Daffodils and the Tulips turned their backs on the poor little glass tree, and although she had the place of honour in the centre of the mantelpiece she wasn't a bit bappy. Then one day someone said: “Oh, those Daffodils and Tulips :»> ■ ! quite withered —they’d better be thrown j away.” j And the proud creatures were < whipped out of their tall vases and * thrown on to the dustbin. But the little glass tree never faded j but stayed where it was and got fresh admiration every day. WELCOME TO HAPPY TOWN DAVID BUCHANAN, Takapuna; W. H.
