“I have some ideas which I would like to present to save time,” said Mrs. Talmage.
“I apportioned a page to each one of you to edit and expect you to have the line of writing that best suits your ability.
“For instance,” continued Mrs. Talmage: “To Dot Starr, who did the cut-out paper furniture so well at the school-house this summer when we made the paper doll houses for the city children, I gave a page called, ‘What Can Be Made of Paper.’
“To Edith, who always makes such good candy, I gave the ‘Candy Kettle.’
“To Betty, who is clever with her pencils, I gave the ‘Drawing Lesson.’
“To Ruth, who loves housekeeping, I gave ‘Household Hints.’
“To Norma, who likes to sew, I gave the ‘Doll’s Wardrobe.’
“To May, who takes such good kodak pictures, I gave the ‘Camera Corner.’
