Part 3 — A Pen and Brush Holder

Reading edition

A sheet of corrugated paper is a handy thing to have on the writing desk, for the purpose of placing wet pens or brushes in its grooves. The paper absorbs the liquid, and the corrugations hold the pens or brushes in handy positions. A sheet of this paper is almost as useful a desk accessory as a blotter.—Contributed by James M. Kane, Doylestown, Pa.
