Send them around by messenge” Your Uncie Samuel, in the per son of the postoffice department, has hung the “skiddoo” sign on the card party invitations. Sounds foolish, doesn't it? But it's true! Orders have been sent to every postoffice in the country instruct ing postimasters to enforce the iaw against sending through the matl« relating to card parties at which prizes are played for, church raffies or any other contest for a prize in which the element of chance figures. Postmaster Stewart has his orders and when he quits tonight | he will turn them over to the new postmaster, Mr. Russell, attempt to see that the women of Seattle send uo prize card party invitations through the mails.
