Nobody ever spoke a good word, or heard
anybody else speak one, of the practice Of
sending out by mail tickets to entertain
ments Of varying degrees of unattractlye-
ness. and inc!osing in the same envelope an
tmpertinuent request that if the involuntary
recipient of the tickets does not wish or
Is not willing to buy them he will use his
own good stamps and stationery and time
IN sending them back. Not only has praise
been lacking for this custom but IL has
been the object Of innumerable maledic-
tons In print and out Of it. Nevertheless

and not altogether dissimi.ar to out-and-out
blackmail. AS long as it pays to commit
this petty crime against taste and decency

Will continue to flow, and to scoid the ma
nipulators of the fountain is utter waste
