A is a plate, made, preferably. of metal, and finished in any desired style. This plate has an opening, B, near its center, through which the handle of a hell or gong projects to the outside to be within reach. This handle is pivoted between lugs G, projecting from the inner side of the plate upon each side of the opening B, and connects with the bell in any suitable or well-known manner. Below this handle is an opening or recess, into which a tablet, D, is inserted, this tablet having a surface, upon which a name or sentence may be written with a pencil and erased, which can be suspended by its side. Above the bellhaudle the plate is extended in any ornamenta1 form, and elastic strips or springs E have their lower ends fixed to the plate, so that their upper ends may curve outward enough to allow a card or cards to be inserted, and be held in place by the elasticity 0t the springs.
