A POCKET STAMP CASE.

be slipped The case can be made
from any small remnants of silk, and
when complete it should measure not
more than two inches by one and a
half. The back portion Of each part
should be stiffened with a piece of
thin cardboard, and an ordinary visit
ing card cut to the size required will
answer the purpose very well. A small
loop of narrow ribbon is sewed in the
center of the upper part of the case
by which it may be pulled from the
lower part when a stamp is required.
The sketch so clearly shows the nature
of this little article that further de-
scription is scarcely necessary.

the strangest is the role played by the

those who have undertaken the part
