To the Editor of the "Nowtn-Camsa Dany News."
Sir,—Would it be permitted to ask if the seemingly local custom of never putting any address on visiting cards, is due to superiority or just thoughtlessness on the part of callers?
To find a card awaiting you with just Mrs. Q. Dash and nothing more on it is decidedly trying, and much valuable time is wasted in trying to find out where Mrs. Q. Dash lives.
If she wishes her call returned, why this mystery over her address Shanghai is too big a place now, for the "everybody knows overbody" idea to be carried on.
I am, ete., Shanghai, April 93.
