 "The other night when Rollo took me home fom the surprise party and squeezed my hand at the gate, jerked 1t away and fixed him with my glittering eye as best I could in the dark, because Aunt Julie always told me 1t was an insult for man to lay the tip of his finger on girl wasn't going to have man insulting me and told him so. Gee. but he needn't have gotten so mad! 1 didn't do any. thing. I am always putting my foot in 1t, for all try to do just as Aunt Julie says Is proper. But never have gentleman friend. while all the other girls who are not SO lady. like as I am. have beaux to burn. Its the limit.
 Guess don't care much, though, when Bob Is around. He Is coming home from Japan soon. Quality not quantity in men as in everything else Aunt Julie says. Bob is quality all right. always did love Bob. Hope I can nab him."

 Sir:
 The post office appropriation act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913 provides:
 That hereafter post

The Department desires to re, duce the work to the minimum so that as many of the employees as possible may enjoy a complete day of rest on Sunday. You should, therefore. require only a suffi cient number of clerks to re. port for duty on that day in or der that transit mail and the mail collected for dispatch may be handled without delay. Ifno mail is dispatched on Sunday q very early collection should be made on Monday morning and the mail for local delivery dis tributed before the carriers leave for their first trip.
