About Postage Stamps. The Writer.

Another good way of inclosing a stamp in a letter is to cut two parallel slits near one corner qf your letter sheet, and then slip the stamp under the narrow ribbon of paper between the slits. If you are going to send a number of stamps, enclose them in a small envelope, or wrap them in paper. It is a good idea, if you fold the sheet of stamps, to put layers of thin papertracing paper, if you have'it—between The folds. Never inclose stamps in a letter still damp from the copying-press. Never gum a corner of an enclosed stamp to the letter sheet, under ahy •ircumstances. Never fail to inclose a stamp wnen you write about a matter that concerns you mainly altogether.
