A new envelope made in Paris is
proof against the thief or the meddler
who opens a letter to extract or read
its contents and then reseals it SO
cleverly as to hide any sign of it hav-
ing been tampered with.
The new envelope is really two en-
velopes. Each is of thin paper, one a
pronounced blue, the other lighter in
color and different in texture. Each
has gummed flap.
The letter ia 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 gummed en- to the larger envelope.
The outer flap is still unsealed. 1t
is much larger than the inner flap and
reaches down to goGd-sized star
shaped opening which shows through
to the inner envelope. so that when
the outer flap is sealed it sticks not
only to the outer envelope, but also
through this opening to the inner one.
The letter is thus practically locked
and double locked.
