| PRESERVING @. G. AUTOGRAPHS
G. @. FRIENDS: May u. Chapman wants to know
| how the c. O. preserve their autographs. Will
tell my plan. First i purchased large scrap
| album, IL by IL inches, which is capable OF hold
ing eight cards per page. ] usually arrange them
| so that only from four TO six are ON "a page Take
any good paper no matter whit the color. and cut
il in pieces tho shape of n rgh-aRge triangle, the
base and perpendicular OF which is ono inch each.
| These i glue into the album, forming pockets
two To each card, in such manner of arrangement
as may be pleasing To the eye. The cards are then
| inserted In the pockets and can he perfectly
| without being handled, but Cnn be removed aud
roinscr;cd rs often as you wish have III postal
autographs, of them very beautiful in artistic
| peuwork, and all laden with expressions OF true
| friendship and loyalty. value these tokens very
| highly.
Mays plan is excellent one for a table orna-
ment, but would think that they would be spoiled
| by the touch of too many fingers
| would like TO exchange autographs with o. C's
| everywhere. Yours, Pro Pntrig-Jos. III. Morton,

BICYCLING At THE CAPITAL.
FRIENDS OF THE @. O.: The following Is from
the Washington Critic: The lady bicyclist has be-
come such a familiar figure on the asphalt streets
OF Washington That she no longer eNcites comment
| She is one of the permanent features oil the Ma
| nonal Capital and forms one Of the most piciur-
esque ornaments of the city"
A q. &. friend In adjoining town and myself
hope next summer to become possessoTs of Safo-
ties" and perhaps we will take spin to Rock
port and call c. g. friends there Pro PntrtR-

DEAR G. g. FRIENDS: Amer l had read " Rsmo-
