right angled triangles which are three
inches on the two even sides are then
cut from stiff and very heavy wrap

When they are covered a margin OF

this Is REINFORCED by narrow strip OF
muslin. This margin Is turned over and
pasted to the upper side Of the card

then laid on the lower part. and they
are pasted neatly together. The corr
