THE NEWSPAPER MASK.

As a simple feat, to amuse the juvenile during some accidental delay, take a newspaper and fold up a portion about twenty inches square. Double it, and, without stopping, tear off all the superfluous paper from

A to B, A to B being the line of the doubled edge. Then tear out the gap C, that of D, and that of E; and tear down the piece F, so as to nearly detach it, but not quite. Three or four rents parallel at the end B will form a fringe. Now open all out, when will be presented a capital comic mask, holes for the eyes and tongue being in place, the beard made, and the ears prominent. Practise this so as to perform it most rapidly.
