The Postmaster-General CMr Sydney Buxton) in opening an exhibition of postage stamps at Caxton Hall, a few weeks ago, under the auspices of the Junior Philatelic Society, said that objection had been taken by some people to mourning envelopes. It had been suggested that ho, as Postmaster-Gene-ral, should produce a stamp with a black border. Ho tv-as rather inclined to make a small issue of such a stamp, and he hoped that philatelists would buy them up at bigh prices.
