legged 70 I5e that when frifing gifts
are sent to people in this country
from England, France. and Germany,
the cost of sending them, and the
duty if they are duriabIe, amounts TO
more than the value of the article.
The fashion of sending money in
stead Of gifts therefore prevails.
The convenience of an international
parcels post cannot be denied, and
the need of it is likely TO be brought
home quite foreibIy to people who go
abroad for any length of time. or
whose friends are living on the other
side Of the water. There Is nothing
much pleasanter than TO receive q
