LOIS LENSKI GREENACRES TORRINGTON, CONN. R. F. D. NO. 2

decorating one's once-spotlessly clean margins. For this reason, I always leave wide ones; then the spots do not harm the pictures themselves. I have cleaned these up as well as I can. They will be covered, of course, by being matted, and a 2½ or 3 in. mat always improves even the smallest picture considerably, by centering the interest. Only a narrow molding is needed for a frame, but once under glass, they are permanently protected against damage or accident.

I am putting in a few extra small ones (like the man who when he sold his farm, threw in an extra hundred acres when the buyer wasn't looking!) just to show my appreciation of the good home my "children" will have with you. Many thanks for taking them.

With best wishes,

Lois Lenski
