WHITE KETl'KN ADDRESS Estimated 21,000,000 Letters Yearly I (?'?> To Dead Letter Office There is something of sacred nos.* about the contents of a letter. The writer often reveals more of himself on the written page than he would in direct conversation. This revelation of course, is designed only for the j eyes of the correspondent. ! In this country a wholesome respect has been huiit up for the sanctity of a letter but it is not so respected in many other countries where the open ing and reading of sealed mail be comes, at times, so prevalent that the practice has earned the appelation "cracking seals." The average American would be I filled with wrath and the timid soul ? would shrink with horror at the j thought of a third person, and a ! stranger at that, reading his "per i sonal correspondence." I Yet. that is exactly what happens i to 2 1 .000,000 letters a year and will j continue so long as letter writers i fail to put return addresses on their envelopes. When a letter." without a return a<Mr? ?<*. can not be delivered for any reason, it is sent, after a certain time, to the dead letter office. There it is opened and read ? not for ? he possible scandal it may con tain but with a view to finding some ciu< which will enable forwarding on ! < i the addre?^e or returning to the sende! . Out of t \*?j y five letters received at the dead letter office such a clue is found in one and it is sent merrily on its delayed way to one or the other of the two persons most interested in its disposition. The other four are destroyed. Every person knows his own ad dress and if he would put it on the envelope, the contents would remain inviolate and the letter would be re turned with notice of non-delivery. Not only that but the dead letter office and all its attendant expense would tfo out of business because less than one letter in a hundred reaching that institution contain* a return ad dress.
