POSTACE STAMP FLIRTATION.
The latest fad In Paris is postage stamp flirtation. The post office men who cancel the stamps cannot be said to have a happy lot. The rule here is to place the stamp tn the upper right-hand corner. But since a code of signals has been agreed upon the stamp may be in any corner, on either front or back. To give the entire code would monopolize too much space, and, since the Americans seem prone to take up with the European fashions, it might tempt copying a foolish frivolity. One signal, that seems to be logical, is when a lady wishes to give a gentleman to understand that she will be a sister to him she places the stamp in the left-hand lower corner, on the back of the envelope.
