It's simply that the tiny envel opoes won't pass through the stan dard stamping machines. They have to be stamped by hand. As for Christmas parcels, don't try to send your friends any tasty little dish that's liable to spoil be fore the postman can deliver it. The post office won't accept it for mailing, anyway, Colonel How ell says: If your gift is perishable but won't spoil before it reaches its destination, it must be endorsed by postmasters or postal employees with the word "Peristiable" right over the name of the person to whom it is addressed. If you forgot Aunt Sally on Christmas Eve, you can, of course, rush her gift oil by air mail. But don't try to send her an ice box or something that way. Colonel Howell reminds us that air-mail packages sent fourth-class cannot be any bigger than 100 inches long and wide combined. And. if they're first class or fourth-class mail, they can't weigh more than 70 pounds. As for what else you can mark on your packages besides your friend's name and address and your own address, you may write: "Please do not open untitl Christmas." You can send simple greetings inside packages going third or fourth-class mail (parcel post, that is). You can slip in a card saying "Merry Christmas." "Happy New Year," or "With Best Wishes," for instance. You can also write an inscrip tion in a book going by third or fourth-class mail "Merry Christ mas, 1949," "To Mary from John," PAUK THEATRE PROGRAM o MONDAY and TUESDAY, Nov. 21-22 Imam I Ktl .
