STAMPS FOR A DOWRY
A young Swedish girl whose fiance was absent for some time made him promise to write to her every day. He kept his promise and sent her thirty letters, using for each a Swedish airpost stamp bearing the word Luftpost. When he tried to buy his 31st stamp he was told that the issue of the stamps had ceased because the word Luftpost had been printed upside down. At once there was a rush to possess this oddity. Fortunately nil the young Swede’s letters had been kept carefully with the envelopes and their thirty stamps, and a nice little marriage portion they made for their owner. Each stamp sold' for rather more than £lO, or more than £3OO for a few already-used stamps.
