Mourning Stamps Suggested.

NEW
Assistant Postmaster James Gaylor has
many callers daily, among them some per-
sons with queer missions. n man who bore
in his hand a letter in an envelope OF
mourning inquired for Mr.. Gaylor recently.
He wanted to know:
Isn't there any way that l can get
mourning stampsY'
Mourning stamps? 1 never heard of
any," said Mr.. Gaylor in some astonish-
ment.
II should think the governn ent would
print some. 1t is dreadful to put a big
staring Columbian stamp or even an ordin-
ary one of the gariSh red color on a letter
OF mourning. The stamp simply destroys
all the effect of the black border. There
ought to be a mourning stamp to harmon
ize with the envelope"
Mr.. Gaylor promised to lay the request
before the department at Washington.
