A scrapbo ok Of Reat Value.

To devote scrapbook to one sub
ject makes 1t much more interesting
and valuable and when you begin to
gather material on any one theme
you will be surprised ct the amount
which will come to hand. Suppose
that you want to know all about some
famous person, either in the public
eye at present, or some one of past
times. From magazines and other
sources can be collected articles. por-
traits, perhaps poems, in relation to
the subject, etc. When matter 10
clipped, the scrapbook maker may
copy it neatly with a pen into her
book. The educational value OF such
a book is something worth while, as
we'll as the satisfaction OF having
gathered oneself SO much information
on Q single subject.
