 Parcels arc not acceptable as wrapped in stores, but must be more securely sealed and bound or they will be sidetracked by necessity. Postmaster Erwin warns. Post cards with the exception of government cards, must have two-cent stamps and no cards with tinsel may be mailed unless enclosed in an en- velope. Persons mailing many Christmas card frequently forget to put stamps on all, which fact was attested by this mornings pile of un- stamped cards and letters en route to the dead letter office at Wash ington. Christmas seals are not drowned upon but should be on the back of letters. and if used to seal the seam of parcel wrappings, the parcel is thereby made first class mail. Cards should be mailed not later than Wednesday to insure de- livery before Christmas Day. on which there Is but one delivery.
