A GIFT FOR DAD.
" 1 "O 1 All you want to malro this funny littlo pen-rest for daddy's desk is a largo pine cono, a square of thin wood for the stand nnd-somo strong cardboard. First rub the wooden stand with sandpaper until it is perfectly smooth, and then paint it pillar-box' red, or' any ,colour you liko. Now take your pino cone, which should bo ono with its petals well oponod out,
vid cut of! a piece from the bottom of it, so that it will sit evenly on the woodon stand. Gum the cone firmly in place. Tho head is cut out of the cardboard and neatly gummed in between the scales of tho cone, and it should be made as comical as possible in design. Paint the scales of tho cono and tho head in <iny colour to blend with tho stand, but gold paint is perhaps the most effective of all to use, with black markings on tho head.
