GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

letters just what he is called, and how he is addressed. 

 Married women especially should heed the above. It 

 is a woman's privilege to write her name Jlrs. John 

 Smith or Mrs. Susan Smith ; but she should be u ged 

 to do always one or the other. A few days ago " Mrs. 

 John Smith " complained that she sent us .some mon- 

 ey, and we did not give her credit. After much fuss 

 and bother our book-keeper found she signed her 

 name Mrs. Susan Smith, and wrote from a different 

 postoffice from what she had ever written before, and 

 therefore the book-keepers were obliged to open an 

 account with :Mrs. Susan Smith at some other post- 

 office ; and hadn't one of the employees happened to 

 remember some honey being placed on the book 

 where no account could be found, I do not know what 

 would have been done. 



The better way, by all means, is to have your cor- 

 rect name and address printed on envelopes or writ- 

 ing-paper, one or the other, or both It can be done 

 for a few cents. But if this is too much trouble, then 

 get a rubber stamp, and stamp every thin.g you send 

 out, not only to save this great busy world time and 

 money, but to save ^(^«>'.sc//annoyance and disappoint- 

 ment. Lots of people make haste to call great busi- 

 ness firms dishonest, just because these people them- 

 selves have not got euou.gh life and p>ush to avoid the 

 trouble of blundering addresses, as I have indicated in 

 the above. If 3'ou can not scrape up enough energj- to 

 let folks know who you are and where yovi live, in 

 black and white, you ought to have been born a cen- 

 tury or two ago, when it did not matter so verj' much 

 whether the outside world knew you were alive and 

 kicking or not.
