The Class of 1911 held a dancing 
party last Friday evening that was 
a success in every way. The dec-

and added to the general enjoyment 
of the evening. The matrons were: 
Mrs. L. W. Floyd, Mrs. Alfred Sabin 
and Mrs. J. C. Mackin. It is earn- 
estly hoped that another party un-

Christmas Stamps 
As the Christmas season ap- 
proaches it would be well to bear in 
mind that the following countries 
refuse to admit to their mails ar- 
ticles bearing non-postage ‘‘Christ- 
mas’’ stamps or other adhesive 
charity stamps or labels: Austria, 
Norway and Portugal, if they re- 
semble regular postage stamps. 
Most all other countries permit 
such stamps when same are affixed 
to the back and not to the address 
side of the article mailed. 
Unless these conditions are com- 
plied with, the articles bearing non- 
postage stamps will not be dis- 
patched from this country, but will 
be returned to sender, if known, 
otherwise to Dead Letter office. 
All articles should bear full name 
and address of sender.
