Andrew and Imoeene Little Life Condolences in the Experience of Couple, Phlosophic Though Married

All she had was that set of silver and agate jewelry her Scotch aunt left her and so she had to give it up. It was just as well she did for she found out afterward that lady aviators wear leather pants and she would have cut a ridiculous fig ure trying to make a man fall in love with her when she had on leather pants.

WATCH POSTAGE WHEN WRITING TO
 SOUTH AMERICA
To the Editor of The ge-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Under a Buenos Aires date line, I
 noticed with interest today in your
 paper an article complaining of the
 ignorance of American business firms
 of South American geovraphv xnd
 their failure to put sufficient postage
 on mail sent abroad. I am, therefore.
 taking the liberty of commenting fur
 ther along this line in the hope that
 you may at some future time call the
 attention of shippers to their delin-
 quency.
 Both as American consul in Buenos
 Aires and now ss an importer of
 American manufactures there, I have seen and suffered many of these same
 inconveniences of which your article
 made reference. Not ! ship brings mail frem the United States that q large quantity Of it does not come in with insufficient postage, whiah al- ways incurs fine upon the recipient equal to the amount of postage lack ing. In single mail my fines have sometimes amounted to as much as seventy-five ceats gold Of course, the few cents one spends is of small moment, but the continual annoyance of delayed mail occasioned by insuffi- cieLt postage Is of more importance. If this be troublesome to an Ameri- can, how much more it must be to foreign dealers, especially when . 1 largs rart of his mail from this coun- | try may te tho simple advertising
 matter of American firms which he l did hot solicit, but upon which he is | compelled to pay postage and a fine. Our South American neighbors re- sent very much the fact that our busi- ness men display so little interest in affairs below the equator. It is not expected that a Kalamazoo or a Bir- mingham firm should be ip posses sion Of details regarding towns like Azul or Nueva Esperansa, but to dis play ignorance of a modern city like Buenos Aires, with two million popu- lation or Rio de Janeiro. with a mil l lion, or Montevideo, with half mil lion, each buying enormous quantities of merch hzndise from us, Is little credit 1 to our national instruction. I have personally seen scores of letters ad dressed to Buenos Aires, Brazil, and other errors just as striking. Certainly the people Of these countries know much more of us than we know of them. In Buenos Aires there are two splendid daily newspapers that carry | a more complete cable service than all but a mere handful of American
 dailies and that easily rank with the New York Times.
 Making excuses fer inexcusable fail lngS or our own LAfmS IS tnlHS that Americans abroad are frequently called upon to do. By paying more attention to details tho shipper of this country can tho more easily extend his busi- ness to other c0untvies, all the time building good will--.snd it is such 3 little thing to do.
