STAMP LANGUAGES. City. Please publish
the language Of stamps
Some ingenious persons have given a
meaning to the location or postage
stamp on an envelope
For example. they say that when a
stamp is inverted on the righthand
upper corner IL means that the person
written to Is to write no more.
II the stamp be placed on the left
hand upper corner and Inverted, then
the writer declares affection for the
one the letter IN sent to.
When the stamp is in the center at
the top IL signifies an Affirmative an
swer to question.
When the stamp is at the bottom it
Is a negative answer.
Should the stamp be on the right
hand corner at right angle IL asks
the question IL the receiver OF the let
ter loves the sender; while In the left
hand corner II means that the writer
hates the other.
There Is a shade of differences be-
tween desiring ones acquaintance and
friendship. for example: The stamp
at the upper corner on the right ex-
presses the former. and on ths lower
iefthand corner It means the latter.
Those learned IN this sign language
request their correspondents TO accept
their love by placing the stamp on a
line with the surname, and the re-
sponse is made, IL the addressed be
engaged by placing the stamp in the
same place, but reversed. The writer
may wish to say farewell to his sweet
heart or vice versa and does so by
