How They Help Out Washington Women
in Daily Life. ."
II do think that Washington postmen
are the most obliging have ever met, -
said lady not long resident here the
other day. Il never think about both
ering to mail my own letters, but SIM
ply hand them to the carrier when he
comes, and he is so amiable as to con-
vey them to the post-off1ce for me, and
SO save me the trouble of dropping them
into the box on the next corner. The
other day I CHANGED to be going out for
call, and meeting the carrier coming
up my step, l suddenly remem bered that
had forgotten something. "--
"'Oh, Mr.. Postman,' exclaimed, Il
have left a postal card on my sitting
room table which am most anxious to
have to 60 off by the earliest possible
mail. You will oblige me exceedingly if
you will see to its being posted. May
ask you to get it, since I am in great
haste? You will find it addressed to
Mrs. Theophidax Robinson. Be so good
as to add Baltimore, Nd" to the
superscription, which an interruption
prevented my completing In pencil, and
make sure that it gets of
''And do you know that the polite
letter-carrier said, Thank you, ma am,
and did just as told him, even to shut
ting the door of the house when he came
out, as requested. know that he put
on the address all right, because Mrs.
Robinson told me subsequently that she
received the postal card.
''And, to take another instance, when
we had another carrier on our street
last winter met him at the corner one
day and asked him il he had left any
mail at my house.
:" Nothing but a postal card, ma'am,'
he replied, from Mrs. Spoopendyke
Browne, inviting you to take lunch in
formally with her on Monday at two
o'clock punctually. "-Washington Star.
