One hardly can realize that the If possible they sent their let- first stamp used in Canada did ters by a friend who they knew not come into existence until lB5l. was making a Journey in the dir- So. you see, writing a letter in ectlon the letter was to take. When the old days was not the simple this could not be arranged the letter was carried by stagecoach and when delivery was finally made the receiver paid the car- rier. It cost 7 to to cents to send letters in Canada and nearly 20 cents to send one to the old country.

Money was as scarce as hens' teeth, and quite often people could not pay postage on their letters.

A rather amusing story is told

Of course, many persons did not know how to write, and those that did could not afford to send more than one or two letters a year.

Before the envelope came on the market. the old-timers used a double sheet of paper very thick and without lines. Some of the poorest families used the bark of the birch tree. And they solved the ink problem by making their own. lThis was done by boiling the inner ibark of the soft maple and adding :a bit of copperas to the liquid. l'l'hat this was high-grade ink may be gleaned from the fact that letters written over lot) years ago are still quite legible.

Nowadays, when we have fount- ain pens. typewriters, pClll'llS, etc.. we seldom think about the goose quill pens which were uscd by our

North's three-spade bid was in- excusable, and he might have reaped severe punishment if South had not been able to rescue him in the seven-card diamond suit.

As I msttel-Votrfact. the takeout

double that North made initially was unsound.

Since East. did not double four diamonds. West concluded that it would be touch-and-go whether or not the contract could de- feated. West's own spade length indicated that South was extreme- ly short and would be able to discard on North's suit; and it did not appear probsble that many hurt tricks would accrue to the defense. So. on the assumption that the club king would lie with either North or East. West laid down the club ace. hoping to de- velop a. ruff in the suit.

East signalled with the club deuce. and West saw that his analysis had gone astray. so its quickly shifted to a heart. The ace was put up; then declarer cashed the ace and king of spades, discarding his second heart. Now, faced with the sure loss of two trump tricks. south saw no hope of avoiding another club loser except by llnessin,,, and so he tried that tlnesse immedi- ately, since he could not hope to return to dummy.

Thus. West made the club queen anyway, just as he would have if he had let the suit alone, and the contract was defeated.
