A CAMERA DIARY.

An exchange calls attention to a new kind of diary which requires no writing, and, being in line with the general fad for snapshots, may become popular. It is a camera diary, and the plan is to take photographs day by day, and arrange them in such order as shall make them a record of home happenings and any interesting walks and excursions abroad. Almost every one has a camera, and it is a problem what to do with the fast accumulating photographs. Here is a way to utilize them to advantage. The diary may be made simply of pieces of gray cardboard tied together. In it one may represent all sorts of homely happenings—the puppy performing a clever trick, the baby with papa’s hat on, the new sideboard, the calla in full bloom, the young people skating on the pond, the dooryard trees after an ice storm, etc. For young people this would give purpose to random snapshots, for their elders it would provide recreation, and for both it may be in after years a storehouse of pleasant memories. — Christian World.
