It seems tliat the discus-ioii on tha 

 colLvcting <H entire stamped envelopes, 

 has not abated, and the old i>ioa, of col- 

 lecting stationary is still held up to rid- 

 icul ^ th? Ciill.v^tin,' of en\-clopes entire. 

 Wi'shouM like to kn-nv if we Philatelists 

 are t > collect <->nly a jiart of the si»ecinien 

 essued or the entire speciinen? The en- 

 velope entire represents the specimen as 

 issued and its entirety possesses all the 

 virtues for which it was originally issued ; 

 this tluM'ut specinvn docs not possess. 



It is also an undisputed fact that the 

 eiitire specimen is wort'- considerable 

 more to a collector than • cut speciiuen. 

 A coresi>ondent asks if we would advise 

 him to cc>llect all the vari<.)us sizes, colors, 

 gums and watermarks. C'ertaitdy we 

 would ; a true philatelist, should, and 

 ought to do so. The diilerent sizes, 

 colors of paper, gum, watermark, etc. 

 all represent ;i different series, or issue. 

 A writer in a western puldication asks 

 if we are to collect varicuis sizes of paper 

 with the imprhit of the same stamp on 

 cacli, wdiy should we not do likewise 

 wirh adhesivt;s, v/hicli you can readily 

 tiud varying both ic wi<lth and height 

 of perforations. According to this, 

 stamps would in some cases be jjerforat- 

 ed 10 )rj tiutn otiia-s, and consepieutly 

 are a differently variety ; and we think 

 it quite .right to collect all such stumps 

 varying in j»erf<^nit,i;#is, as theyv^^n.k:'. 

 doubt represent Wiiother and di^.ereiw.
