WIGGLES.

For the benefit of those who have not read the original article on "Wiggles," we would say that the Wiggle is a line that may be turned into a picture by having other lines added to it. For example, take the new Wiggle, No. 15, given in this Number. Trace it carefully, so as to preserve the _exact_ outlines, and then see what you can make of it. Add to it as much as you please, but do not change the original line. Send answers as promptly as possible.
