serap-book, which, II possible, should be large
enough for two rows on each page.
Now, IN regard 70 mounting them, never paste
them to tbe page. bly, plan i TINS and Tor = am
indebted 10 the Quaker City Phiiatetist Simply
clip the corners of am envelope diagoually, round
ed, scoHopped iudeEted, or any way you like, and
use the corners Tor pockets Ia which to place Inc
corners Of your card. Place q pocket on each
lower corner Of card. then lay il where you want
it ia your book and past the pockets 10 the page.
in this method the postals can be taken out and
replaced at will bar they VIII not fall out would
