This handy boy used old violin
strings. but strings OF various sizes
may be made Of wire. OF hard fish line
OF OF varying numbers Of strands Of
fine silk; these nsh lines and silk
strings may be shellaced and al
lowed TO become thoroughly hard.
The most difficult thing Is the plac-
ing OF the frets in the fingerboard,
which regulate the lingering and the
pitch OF the string The frets may
be made OF piece OF tin about y d"
wide, doubled over TO make the top
edge round so It will not cut the string,
and fitted into a fine saw cut made
\ J" deep which must be so placed as
TO make the correct tone. The best
way TO do this Is TO string the instru-
ment. and by moving a piece OF wire
back and forth find the correct loca-
tion by comparing the tone with a
piano or other instrument OF correct
tone. Make every tone and half tone
for an octave. the octaves first, then
the flfth, the thirds, the tones and the
half tones. Such an instrument may
have from four to eight strings, or
may have fve double strings as in a
standard mandolin. II may be played
with the fingers, or with a plectrum or
| picker. which may be made OF a dis
carded totoise she'll comb. After the
frets have been glued in their places

The jolly little moonbeams would dive

come dancing up agsin TO leap about

took a wee zip and 1t tasted better

They soon reached the bank and
grasping the elrs hand Mary Ellen
jumped to the shore. Before she could
thank the elf for her good time he
pluoked a forget-me-not and bade her
drink the dewdrop nestled in it's CUP.
She did so and soon the elf seemed to
be growing smaller and smaller. But
II was really Mary Ellen who was
growing, OF course, and soon she was
back to her right size.
But when she again tried to thank
the elf she couldn't see him. She
peeked under leaves and searched in
the grass and called 10 him, but no
answer came.
Dear Mr.. Elf" said she. II guess
he was too shy to stay. I'll keep this
