"A very common and very stupid
practice is to address letters to married
ladies in their given name, without put
ting them in the care of any one. To
suppose that the postmaster can know the
given names of the married ladies of a
town is ridiculous. As consequence of
this practice, letters thus address occa-
sionally get into the general delivery
boxes of the post Office when the husband
has a box, and then the P. M. gets a
cursing for being Careless" while the
carelessness-the stupidity--is in direct
ing the letters. Letters addressed to mar
ried ladies should be in their husbands
name or care, and to unmarried ladies in
their fathers care, and this would save
