It may sound a bit difficult at first, but in reality you may sit at home in your most comfortahle chair, toast- Ing your toes before a cheerful fire,,and keep track of them just the same. And that is exactly what most of us are doing, keeping tab on the goings and comings of those who are lucky enough to write a hurried scrawl on the queer- looking postal cards that most every European city boasts of. Besides being extremely unique they are the most convenient things that were ever invented. Letter haters who thor- oughly detest writing a dutiful bilet doux have found them a jpy forever; for they tell better thad words con all about the place. And, going one better still. they convey the distinct idea that in all the hurry and flurry of sight-seeing one has been remembered. There is a great deal In that, you know. It is no trouble tc firop one here and there along the route, and it certainly is a paving proposition when it tickles one’s friends so mightily. A postal with “Napolf”” or ‘“Le Mont Cerwin” on it icoks terribly important and may fill you with awe; or a Dutchman chuckling with glee over a steln of beer and saying “zwei” may amuse you for a minute, and then remimd you that you are certainly a badly abused individual because you can’t scatter the same things broadcast. Either way the postal probe ably has “hello” and “good-by” on it, and maybe the date squeezed in. For the dealers are more than thoughtful and put on everything that is necessary, and often just a little bit more. The very latest card has a photograph of the sender on ‘it—one of those ‘“‘made while you wait” kind. Needless to say, they are more’ popular than any other kind, but not nearly as plentiful. The idea will probably be carrie¢ out here by the camera flend with the ald of a common, ordinary postal card. They are not half- bad. Try it and see. The fad to gather these postals had proved to be more than a passing fancy. Only those who are patient can make any kind of a showing, and they are really the ones that count. The fly-away trifler rare- ly can wait six months or a year. There are far too many hobbies that they can ride at a 2:40 pace and get in at a quick finish. Dr. B. H. Mattner of San Francisco has more than a gooed collection, as one can see ‘ by looking at the page. All of these cards are from his collection. He counts them by tre hundreds and then holds up five fingers. Five hundred, and every one dif- ferent mecns that he has visited just a few places They begin in London and wind up in Japan, and in all that territory there is hardly a place of interest that is not represented. Mrs. Belle W. Conrad has another splen- did collection that she made while travel- ing over the Continent. Hers do not run to scenery or types as much as national emblems. The French flower, the British arms, the German flags and the numerous Swiss coats-of-arms are all there. Some of the hest postals in town are owned by Mabel Hopkins, Laura Denson, ‘W. Mitchell Bunker, Horace V. Deming, Daisy Van Ness, Helen Wright,” Blanche Davis, Bessie Ames, Katherine Dillon and Marie Wells. One can learn all kinds of things from these play letters/ A gocd collection is better than any Book on travel that has ever been compiled, for somehow such reading seems like work and is speedily forgotten. The postals are intensely in- teresting, and nothing escapes and noth- ing is ever forgotten. Maybe that is one feason why they are becoming so popular. the strictly staple article wooly 8o quoted wash& fleeces are on) Quotations: Territod na_fine, 14@16¢c; scour) 14@16¢ scoured, 4 scoured, 46@4Sc.
