cells. The average haul amounted to
538 miles, so that the average rate
was that applicable to the third zone,
7 cents a pound. AS packages weigh
ing less than pound take the pound
rate, it will be seen that the average
rate actually collected still approxi-
mated the old fourth class matter rate
of l cent an ounce. These figures
are verified by taking the total
weight of the parcel post matter car
ried and comparing them with the
total amount of stamps sold. Such a
comparison shows that the average
package was carried for about 5 cents.
Getting ready to install a nation
wide parcel post system within four
months after the enactment of the
law was no mean job. There had to
be provided 25O,O00 extra sacks, 150,-
900 parcel post guides, 125,O00 tape
lines and 10000 pairs of scales. Each
of these items had to be further in
creased after the service went into
effect.
1t was not long after the system
came into operation that important
changes came to be regarded as ad
vantageous. The first of these i'm
portant changers permitted the ex-
tension of the special delivery service
to the parcel post, thus allowing the
user to hasten the delivery of his par
cells. The next important step Gre
ated C. o. D. service for the system,
permitting patron to send a package
collect and have the money returned
to him by affixing 10 cents extra in
stamps. This permits a farmer to
send to his city customer ham or
several dressed chickens c. 0. d. by
parcel post, and once the farmer
learns how to advertise his wares and
the consumer to look for his advertise
ments, this feature of the service will
be the most appreciated among many.
The next departure of great impor-
tance made in the extension OF the
idea was the abolition of the distinc-
tive parcel post stamp and the provi-
sion that any postage stamps would
be honored on parcels going through
the mails. Then followed an order
permitting the insurance OF parcels
for fee of cents on packages val
ued at less than $25, or for a fee
of 10 cents on packages valued at less
than $50. But it was not until amend
ment thirteen" came out OF the de-
partment that the country began to
sit up and take real notice.
1t was then that Postmaster-Gen-
eral Albert S. Burleson issued his fam
Gus order increasing the weight limit
of parcels in the first and second
zones from eleven to twenty pounds,
and reducing the rates to 5 cents for
the first pound and / cent for each
additional pound. This order also ex-

New York, Nov. 2S.-Yes, it's quite
quite true-bustles so popular before
as we'll as behind have come into their
own again, or in other words they
have come back. Just when you all
had acquired the full stomach effect
along comes the fashion mandate that
you must go to the other extreme. OF
course, this doesn't mean that you
will have to get hustle on and get
hustle on Immediately, to be in the
sartorial swim. Dressmakers are just
sort of tentatively trying it out and
on. With designing fingers they are
gradually drawing skirt drapers back
ward and upward, but you're sure to
have one wished on you before many
moons if you don't watch out.
It is really the founces and tunics
and panniers that have brought this
hustle business upon US, for in striv-
ing after a new line in a tunic or a
hounce the natural tendency was to
slop it down toward the front of the
pannier, so it is not surprising that
for its second event it should have
evoluted again from the same bout
fant fashion. But think what is bound
to befall the hustle when it gets in a
subway rush hour tussle.
Chiffonvelour seems to be the ac-
cepted fabric for every dressy occa-
sion. In the most brilliant or delicate
shades for evening or dinner gowns
and in black taupe, brown wine, dark
blue and green, it is much used for
the street.
An exquisite shade of old rose,
practically Du Barry rose, is so uni
versal favorite that shopping tour
of all the department stores will dis
close the fact that only few pieces
remain unsold, so great has been the
run on the rose The prices of the
chiffon velvets range from S4 to $3.50,
and it requires five yards to make a
successfully draped dress. AS the
beauty of the material makes elab-
crate trimming unnecessary, you can
acquire a gorgeous gown for a price
quite within reason. Two perfect
dreams of rose velour frocks are worn
on the stage this season, one by Ethel
Barrymore in "Tante" and one by
Fanny Ward in Madame President" :"
