mount we have to deal with we pro-
ceed as follows: Lay the mount on its
face and mark points at equal dis
tances from top edge and sides. Take
the tape and cut off two pieces an inch
long, bend them into loops and paste
them to the back of the mount just
over the points marked before. the
ends pointing toward the bottom of
the mount. Over these ends and
across them paste two small strips OF
the paper and leave the whole to dry
and set Zig. y. When the paste has
set take the twine and tie to the loops,
q sufficient to make the mount hang as
desired. When two or more are to
hang together on the same twine to
form set the only difference is that
the tape loops are not used. Instead,
tie knots in the twine, and place the
knots over the points marked before
them, paste strips Of paper across the
twine just above the knots Gig ..
One advantage of arranging prints
this way is that the dust does not get
on the face of the prints. The more
decorative scheme Is to arrange ap-
proprlate colored ribbon in this way,
and the effect in the hands Of an ar
tistically inclined person Is fine Zig.
