may not be well received in the future. It may be oh. so proper, but is it mailable? That's what consumers should determine before purchasing those tiny little invitations. RSVP’s, birth announcements, thank you notes and similar items which may not be mailable after July 15. As of that date, the Postal Service will begin enforcing letter mail size standards, to reduce mail handling costs and eliminate one of the main causes of damaged or delayed mail. Under the new regulation, letters and cards less than 3‘/a by 5 inches will not be accepted for mailing. Extra large envelopes — more than 6 1/8 by U‘/j inches — will incure a 7 cent surcharge, if they weigh one ounce or less. Those tiny envelopes create jams in mail processing machinery, damaging not only the small piece, but often other mail as well. And the larger 'envelopes — those subject to the surcharge — cannot be processed by machine, but must be handled manually, at considerably higher cost. For about three years the Postal Service has been working with envelope manufacturers and stationers to help them adapt to the new standards. Most of them long ago stopped production of the undersized items. But. consumers should be wary of “bargain" prices offered by stores that might still have stocks of the non mailable items. Little cards and envelopes may be mailed after July 15 only if they are placed in larger, standard envelopes before mailing, the Postal Service says. NEW EXHIBIT “Hats Are Back" is the title of the new exhibit at the Northern Indiana Historical Society Museum. The return of the fashion of women wearing hats prompted this show.
