THE number of letters received by
members of congress varies from five to
two hundred and fifty per day, and one
members annual bill for stamps is said
TO be $500.
PRIVATE postal cards, which are dis
tributed free, are already in use in
some Continental cities, and the subject
of following the innovation is being dis
cussed in England.
A NEW letter card has just been
issued by the British post Office. The
idea is to make it possible to send short
notes without the publicity of a post
card and at less cost than a letter. The
letter card simply folds once, across the
middle and the edges can be gummed
down.
