These are of two sorts. Where they are to be turned over and over by little fingers, it is well to have the leaves made of strong, thick cotton cloth; and after they are filled a bright cover can be made, and the whole sewed together. Colored cambric leaves with pinked edges are also used. But it is best to begin with a common paper book, an old copy-book being quite as good as a new one. Cut the pictures out very carefully, and plan how to arrange them before you begin work. Sometimes one is large enough to cover a page; and sometimes one can be put in the middle, with smaller ones at each corner. To paste neatly you want smooth paste, a small but broad brush, and a soft clean cloth. Lay the picture on its face, on a paper spread on the table. Take only a little paste on the brush at once, and cover the back of the picture thoroughly; then lift it carefully and lay in its place, dabbing it smooth with the small cloth, pressing it down, and wiping away any particle of paste about the edges. Paste but one side at a time, and, when nearly dry, iron smooth with a warm iron, when the other side can be filled if you want both covered. A book of animals can be made the pictures colored before or after pasting; and it is very easy, now that pictures are so plenty, to have them on special subjects. A nice rainy-day game is to take one of these scrap-books, and make up stories about the pictures; the best time for this being the twilight, when you cannot see any longer to work comfortably.
