The Home Folks:
Entering the ganglion of buildings, one is fairly dazzled by its grandeurs. By elevator or by an enormous marble and bronze ramp, built in a double spiral for ascending and descending, one reaches the portals of the Vatican Museums, where a papal post office, selling papal stamps, is daily patronized by eager hordes of tourists sending off picture post cards to the home folks.The moral is clear. If you are staying more than two or three days in i country it pays to find out, for sure, what the postage is for air letters '5 grams; 10 grams, etc.) and air post cards and for surface letters and :ards. Then stock up on stamps and you are your own mailmaster. Another item for the postage wary: if you send myriads of post cards o the home folks you should know of a special gimmick. By writing only ive words of greeting on the cards you may mail them at printed-matter ates, which are so low as to be negligible.
