SOME MORE SILHOUETTES
Are you making silhouettes? It Is quite simple, you know. Ask someone to stand between you and the light, and then sketch his or her profile. Cut out, paint black, and paste on white paper. Surprisingly good results may be obtained. "Baby Brother"

A HOME-MADE TELEPHONE
To make a toy telephone, you must first take two empty tins, any Bize, without lids, and cut out the bottoms. Cut four rounds of brown papgr, pasting two thicknesses together; Cover up top or bottom of each tin with a round of brown paper, pasting firmly all round the edge. Leave till dry to tighten up the paper. Now ask mother for a few yards of thin string. Make a small hole in the middle of the paper on each tin, and pass the string through, and knot it on the inside. Now you have a good telephone. Ask someone to take one tin, and standing at the distance of the string away, speak quietly but plainly into it while you hold your tin to your ear. It is fun to have the string long enough to allow you to speak in different rooms. But always keep the string tight, as the sound is carried along that way. —JOYCE BODGER (aged 10), Brookside.
