The new envelope is really two en-
velopes Each is of thin paper. one q
pronounced blue, the other lighter IN
color and different in texture, Each
has a gummeG flap.
The letter is first placed in the blue
envelope, which is slightly smaller than
the other Instead of sealing this it is
placed in the outer envelope and the
inner flap brought outside and gummed
down on to the larger envelope.
The outer flap Is still unsealed. 1t is
much larger than the inner flap and
reaches down to a good sized stat
shaped opening which shows through
TO the inner envelope. so that when the
outer flap is sealed 1t sticks not only t.
the outer envelope, but also through
this opening to the inner one. The let
ter is thus practically locked and dou
