frame should be hinged to the cover.
For the postals take as many sheets
of white paper as is desired to nave
cards. Decorate these to make suit
able backgrounds for the living figures
who are to pose before them, not for
getting to write upon each card some
message or greeting in large, leg1ble
hand. This may best be done with
brush. Having prepared the cards,
which should be larger than the open
ing in the album leaf, make them into
pad fastened with four large tacks,
one at each corner. The cards should
be arranged in the exact order in which
they are to appear so that the last pos
| tai is at the back of the pad ana the
! first at the front Place the pad ABOUT
thirty inches back of the opening IN
the page.
A platform should be constructed
upon which the c. aracters may pose,
and this platform should be on level l.
with the lower edge of the opening.
The figures, of course, pose in the space
between the page and the pad of pos
i tails. Black mustn should be stretched
tween the album leaf and pad, around
the edge of top and sides The cover
of the book should be closed etWeen
the exhibition of each postal, While the
card is quickly removed from the pad,
and tn character for the next postal
is posed. This will only take mo-
ment if everything is in readiness.

used for these postals, and the follow
ing Postcard Romance" is merely OF

So short and you do SO want to be

discouraged because he Is few inches
shorter than some other fellow his age.
| Take deep breathing exercises, throw
your shoulders back and wear your chin
high.
Sleep without a pillow and avoid cud-

Make the most of the length you pos.

Go to the physical director of the
