Here are few letters wish you
would mail for me. dear, said Mrs.
Tenspot to her husband, who was pre-
pairing TO go out.
As Mr. Tenspot took them he glanced
at the stamps and asked:
My dear, why did you put 10 cent
stamps on these letters? Two cent
stamps would have carried them. F."
II know it,, replied Mrs. Tenspot.
but how would red stamp look on
envelopes of that lovely violet shade?
This new stationery is of an exquisite
color, and could not think of spelling
its effect with stamps which did not
harmonize. These purple 10 cent stamps
are the nearest match the postotfice
keeps. Harper Bazaar.
