St. Valentine's Day and Washington's Birthday

Material: Colored paper 5 in. x 9 in.; white writing paper 3 1/2 in. x 7 in.; quarter of a yard of baby ribbon; five colored pictures; scissors, pen and ink, and paste.

Fold the colored paper, placing the two short edges together.

Scallop the three cut edges of each page, as in Fig. 1. (Do not cut the folded edge.)

In the center of the first page cut a heart-shaped (or diamond-shaped, square or oblong) opening. Scallop or point the edges. Paste a small picture in each corner of the page. (Fig. 1.)

On one side of the white writing paper write the following verse:

Upon the pathway of thy life,

May sunshine ever stream, Each day, unmarred by storm or strife,

Pass like a happy dream.

Fold the verse in, by placing the two short edges of the paper together. Put the folded sheet inside the colored paper, and tie the two sheets together with ribbon.

Paste a picture on the white paper under the heart-shaped opening in the colored paper.
