Tho Rubber stamp.

Flson Young admits that It 10 no
longer thought impolite for busy per-
sons to send typewriter letters which
may not treat Of business. But there
Is q piece Of lazlness which should
not be tolerated, and that is the sign.
ing Of a typewriter letter with a
rubber stamp purporting to give a fac
smile OF the sender's handwriting.
This really is to reduce what Is In
dividual In the communication to
the vanishing POI. There Ia nothing
to show that your correspondent has
ave seen the letter sent in his lame.
It Is the least human Of all methods
Of communication. For my part, l
decline to answer or take any notice
Of a document 30 subscribed. 1t has
all the dreariness, and none of the
honesty, Of a personal circular" Mr..
Young adds: Il notice that 1t Ia
