Then at each corner make diagonal
cuts as close as you can without the

This part OF the work Is very partic

stretched tightly and smoothly. In
pasting around an oval frame make

After your frame Is covered, place
it under heavy books, and let It stay

Since pasting is done on so many
Christmas gifts, suppose we tell you
how to do 1t.
In the first place, Always use tho
white photographer paste instead OF
mucilage or -four paste. The kind
that comes in tubes is most easily
put on.
First paste a piece OF cotton wad'
ding over your cardboard. but do not
turn the edges on the under side. Aft
err 1t Is very smooth and dry, cut 1t
close to the edges Of the picture open
ing.
Then cut your cretonnc, or what
ever material you use, about an inch
bigger all around than the frame
Turn It right side down on a clean
table and put your frame down in 1t,
with the cotton wadding to the back
OF your cover.
Turn over one end, fastcn 1t with
pins and then turn over the other end
and paste. Take out the pins, stretch
very tight and smooth and paste 1t
BE sure to rub plenty of paste on the
cardboard, otherwise 1t will not hold;
do the same for the sides.
