HOLD MEMENTOES OF TRIP

Case That Will Provide for Inconceivable Accumulation of Picture Post Cards. Everyone knows how quickly picture postcards accumulate, especially during the holiday season; and this handy little case, in which a good

number may be kept, will prove very useful. This is a very quaint and novel case, made somewhat in the shape of a large envelope. It can be parried out equally well in art linen, Satin or silk, and lined with soft silk and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. A good size in which to make it' la nine and a half inches long and six inches in width, and the center portion in which thj cards rest should be stiffened with a piece of cardboard of the dimensions shown in between the material and the lining. The four flaps fold over on the cards, the two sides first, and then the upper and lower flaps, the latter being secu/ed together with the ribbon strings, and so securely closing the case. Initials of the owner can be worked upon the upper flapMn the position where a monogram is usually found upon an envelope, and it is important that the flaps should be made sufficiently large to entirely close the case when well filled with cards, so that in cutting allowance must be made for this contingency. The sketch Illustrates the case open, and clearly shows the shape in which the material should be cut out.
