his wife sewed steadily and the old

Common Sense Plus.

The class in Commercial English
was studying the parcel post system.
The subject being discussed was the
size of admissible matter under this
class, to be sent in any zone. The cor
rect rule for this is to measure the
parcel from end to end with an 81
inch tape measure, and then use the
rest of the measure to stretch around
the circumference of the parcel. If
any surplus inches Of tape come
around, then the parcel is Of correct
size.
Suppose" said the teacher, bring
ing forth a practical example, "that l

sent?'
Louise arose reluctantly and studied
for a moment in silence. At last she
answered, "Well, think I'd close the
