velopes this was the only method of sealing
letter, ana was not 50 many years ago
but what some of Us remember it. The
paper was required to do the double ser
vice of paper and envelope, and when neat
ly folded and carefully sealed, was Il thing
of beauty, The folding was by an arbi-
trary rule, not matter of fancy. The use
OF the seal and wax required some little
practice to be at all prescntablc, and may
be described rs follows:
Hold the wax some distance above the
flame OF Il candle (neVer near enough to
allow 1t to take fire, or become strcakcd
with smoke, turning it over and over in
the hand until the end is soft enough To
almost drop, and then quickly apply it to
the paper twisting ii around to give it
about the desired form When enough
wax is left on the paper, hold that over
the candle mot too near, until it is quite
soft again, and then, moistening the seal
with the breath or otherwise to prevent it
from sticking, apply it firmly to the wax.
