Plea for Legibility

II daily sean your Corner and some-
times get deeply interested. For instance,
No such p. o. is pat to the point with
me and should be with all who use the
mail 1t seems you had a communiea-
ton from Mrs. Z. s. and have tried to
comply with her request, but the clerk in
some postoffice has knocked you out by
not stamping the envelope legibly. There
fore, you can't tell where the misslye
started. Many, and probably most post
masters in principal offices, demand care
on the part of the clerks, but clerks in
many instances do get wonderfully care
less. VIII you try to occasionally give
1egibility' a serious boost? MAC c."
"Pat to the point may be slang. /
haven't 1t in my heart to frown upon it
in recollection of the manifold mishaps
and miseries that beset the Corner on ae-
count of this same illegibility. Not being
omniscient the miserable editor cannot To-
cate the importunate correspondent who
writes CITY" in giving his address upon
a post card when the reverse of the card
is besmirched by postman's handling and
blotted in the stamping OF the +. o.
The only safe and Ito us) comfortable
rule is to write name and address in full
ia ink at the top as well as the bottom of
the page. If your signature be illegible
to strangers, print it, If you have not
