useful in gluing on small pieces of paper and flowers, some of 
which are too small to handle, and when being glued often 
adhere to the fingers in a very vexatious manner. 
As the individual is confronted with his particular prob- 
lems he will contrive new materials and new ways of using 
them. Miniature gardens are so fascinating to make that the 
classes in the premium schedules should bring forth a greater 
number of entries next year.
