Advice From Irwin.
Postmaster Irwin made the follow
Ing statement TO the public yesterday
regarding Christmas mailing:
Il wish to advise the public 20
be exceedingly careful I'm the send
ing OF Christmas packages by par
eel post A point to remember ia
that II is again the postal regula-
tons for parcel post mail TO con-
tain written matter other than
Christmas card giving the name
OF the donor. All packages with
written matter other than that
mentioned must go as first class
matter. with the result that in
some instances the recipient is
forced TO pay additional postage
amounting to many dollars. Nat.
urally no one sending gifts would
wish to have anything so humili-
ating and embarrassing as that
happen. Also there is n ten dollar
fine for sending parcel post pack
ages that contain written matter.
Another thing-patrons OF the
postonice are asked to come with
small change. I'm order that there
may be no delays in transacting
their business at the sending win
dow. Often the changing Of a
large bill involves a delay OF sew
eral minutes and sometiems
longer when the clerks are forced
TO secure small currency.
Il want to second the motion OF
First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Roper for early mailing OF
Christmas packages. This will not
only insure the packages reaching
their destinations in plenty of
time before the holiday. but will
relieve the congestion in the post
offices and help out the already
overworked clerks when business
IL heaviest at the last"

the conditions OF marriage in the upper

guise his view that though marriages may
be made In Heaven they are generally
marred in Kensinston High street. Pro-
foundly respectful OF love. he is unable
TO reconcile its maintenance with mar
rage as II exists among the well to do ;
this does not amount TO saying that Mr.
George believes marriage to be unwork-
able he merely believes that u Is a very
delicate machine and that without much
intelligence, much tolerance, and much
good will. II is likely to lead to destruc-
tion those who entered into It with the
CHEST ideal. He believes also that the
danger is greater for women than for
