To oPr...ry. Vacation Pictures. -

Every summer leaves its trail OF
kodak pictures, too precious and in.
teresting To be lightly east aside. The
question is how TO preserve and keep
them attractive.
Every photograph collector has
heard of and probably owns half n
dozen or more OF the little books which
come specially for the purpose OF
keeping photographs, but that method
Of preserving the prints has its dis
advantages.
To DO this have the pictures first
mounted on stin pasteboard or on eX-
ira heavy mounts. rs the ordinary ko.
dak mounts become warped In a short
time. Take strips of narrow ribbon,
about half an inch in width. for the
average pictures. and deep red in
color If the mounts are gray.
Two ribbons OF equal length are
used To hang one strip OF pictures The
pictures are pasted 10 the ribbon on
either side, and n space Of about three
inches left between each.
