The individual Christmas card designed by him may notybe original, but it is sure to be "different." This is not always as desirable as it might _An unusual effect may be achieved with two colors of paper, arranging the folds so that the inner color is Besides all these practical "aids to an attractive gift package" there are tricky methoas of tying them shown you.

Finally the disgusted conductor picked up. the Scotsman‘s suitâ€"case. and tossed. it off the train, just as they passed over a bridge. It landed with a splash. ‘"Mon," screamed Sandy.
