Christmas Hints.
Don't wait until the last horn blows
before Christmas eve to get these nec
essary things in the house, such as
ribbon, tinsel thread, tissue paper and
cards. jl j j

For the Christmas party there Is a
large "snow man pie which looks ex
actly like the original.
Jl Jl Jl A young girl said the other day that she had an itemized list of what she had bought, for whom it was bought.
The Red Cross stamp are causini
some oonXasioa among many peoplt of Richmond who are sending Christ mas presents and other packages and letters through the mail. Postal authorities say that It is the impression
among some patrons of the service! that the Red Cross stamps are soot
for carrying mail. This la not tht case. They are only to show the sen
der of the package or letter Is willing.
to pay one cent for a cause so worthy.
During the past several days the postal officials have reported that manj persons In the city have deposited mall with the Red Cross sump foi postage. In such cases the postal authorities are compelled to write to tht address of the package or letter, when there Is no return inscription, and have them aend the postage ta
have the article forwarded. This not
only causes a delay but ta also a cost
to the person to whom tile article U
addressed.
One person posted six cards with
the Red Cross stamp on them without the U. S. stamp. Another person, woman, recently called at the stamf window and had a package weighed.
It cost eight cents so she, ignorant ot the laws, pasted on eight of the Red Cross stamps. The package will b held until eight cents Is received te forward the package.
During the past several days there
have been a number of Inquiries at
the poetofflce la regard to sending communications In packages, second class matter. ' The postal laws provide that ft person can put season! greetings In the packages, like "Happy New Years." "Merry Christmas,
etc but such queries as "hope yoc
are well. "how are you now?" etc, are prohibited by the postal laws.
The postal laws also permit th
sender of second class matter to des
ignate wbo the present Is for. Richmond people have been cautioned and Mr. Spekenhler announced this morn
ing that be feared little trouble from this source.
