To the Editor Of the ErcHing Public Ledger:
Sir--It 10 q sheer case of !mproprlety to
send Christmas cards 70 your friends and
acqualntances no carly 10 forco them to
return them. This is a thing that is being
done more each year. Cards are put on
sale so early that purchasers who are told
TO shop early have begun 10 buy these cards
several weeks in advance, aaI IN order 10
get them out Of the way Esniers beEin
addressing them and forwarding them long
before the t!mo that thuy should be sent.
For more than y wee; every mail has
brought to NY homo Christmas cards. and
Il makes me feel that the scudvrs. annoyed
by the thought that they have to bother
with cards get them of Of their hands
as sooI az possible. ana as they are received
II mak,s me feel that the senders have
wanted 70 set rid Of me in this way as soon
~ possible. what matters 1t II the cards
are day or two late owing TO tho CON
sest!on Of the malls?
have number OF cards that feel
disposed 20 send TO friends. because appre-
ciate their friendship ana want them TO
know II in this way. but / always wait
to send them until IL is 50 iRte that they
with not arrive until Christmas IL well upon
us, and which will give them no opportunity
to return them. or the mary I have ro-
to send one in return except the choice
friends TO whom | already had decided TO
send u card, and which ere addressed ana
stamped and to be pat in tho mail today 10
thoso at q distance, and tomorrow TO thoSA I'm
