length depends on the size of the album,
that is, whether it is to hold few or
many cards. yard long strip will
accommodate about eight cards. Five
yards will make a very good sized al
bum If you have not been able to
obtain the long paper paste pieces
neatly together to form the desired
length. Where the pieces are Joined,
lap over only about an eighth of an
inch Use photographers paste, as 1t
will hold better than mucilage. Put
weight on the seams little while to
keep them fiat while drying.
We will suppose you have now
strip of paper eight and half inches
wide and four or five yards long. The
edges must be even and the width the
same throughout Then take a ruler
and make straight line all the length
of the paper about an inch and
quarter from the top and the same
distance from the bottom. Turn over
the paper along these lines, so that
both of the edges are on the same
side You now have a strip six inches
wide instead of eight and half. This
is a little wider than the longest di-
mensions of the card
Next place an ordinary postcard un-
der these two edges. so that you may
see how wide it is Then fold the pa
per backward and forward the width of
the postcard. Fold 1t as an accordion
is folded. first in and then out. Each
space thus formed is meant to hold one
postcard and is just a little larger each
way-a fraction of an inch only-than
the postcard.
The San Francisco call., 1910-09-04

After you have folded the paper in
this way it is time to make the cover
of heavy cardboard. 1t is best to take
two pieces for each side, as the weight
keeps the cards in shape. Cover these
two pieces with any material you have
on hand such as denim. figured cre-
tonne and chintz or heavy cartridge
paper.
The cardboard should be cut just a
trihe larger than the paper when 1T is
folded. A good plan is to cut the card
board just six inches by four and to
fold the paper tiny bit smaller. Then
put on the covering material. turning 1t
under for about an inch all around and
pasting it neatly with photographers
paste.
Before pasting the cover fast to
the paper book paste in two fiat cot

RELICS FROM THE ARMADA
There is not much ancient English

are some exquisite foreign pieces,
among them a great silver fiagon taken
from the flagship Of the Spanish ar

the same great Italian, and the won

This tigers head is marvellous work

time is the jeweled bird called the

with precious stones and magnificent

There is also a shield formed OF snuh

ton tapes. preferably colored, with
which to tie the book. The ends of
tape should be pasted well under the
back boards and should be long enough
to cross and encircle the book.
Then paste the backs fast to the out
side folds of the book, and you may
carry the tapes around it and tie them
at the back, thus holding the book
firmly together. The top and bottom
fold of paper, which holds the post
cards in place, is not pasted at all.
That is not necessary 1t is therefore
possible to empty out ones album In

folds of paper, If the cards are pushed
up toward the center as they are put

y LMOST all boys and girls make col
~ lections of postcards while they
are away on their summer trips,
and sometimes they have many post
cards sent to them from interesting
places both in this and foreign coun-
tries
The simplest kind of a postcard al
bum to make, which is also most in
expensive, Is a folding one constructed
of manila paper and cardboard.
The only difficulty in making these
albums is to secure the proper sort of
paper. The medium weight brown or
gray manila paper is the best that may
be had for this purpose. OF course.
this kind of paper may be bought at
any stationery or department store. but
1t is not always possible to obtain
there as long a piece of paper as one
desires.
The best way to secure the paper you
want is to ask the grocer or the keeper
of some store at which your parents
deal to let you have as many yards as
you want from his wrapping roll. The
paper in which parcels are wrapped
comes on roll so that it is possible
to get just as long a piece as one de-
sires
The paper should be strong, as other
