World War I Victory Stamp
Rare in Cancelled Blocks
9h block of four stamps had
been torn off the corner of a
brown paper . envelope. The
youthful owner shoved them
O forward acfoss the desk.
"I don't find them listed." he
said. "How much should I get
for them?"
The stamps were what is
known as the World War I Vic
tory issue. They were a red
violet in color and printed in
the millions.
"You must have misread the
Oataloirue, I said, reaching for
my copy of Scott's.
"I don't tjnink so," the young
fellow replied.
Well, it was my memory that
was at fault. I was thinking of
the violet colored, three-cent
Victory denomination. They are
found fairly often in used
blocks of four, and their value
is minor, not generally over $4.
But the block before me was
of the red violet color, and

I took Penny shopping one

were unsuitable. Then I took
Penny to a play she seemed to

my mother-in-law called Tom

while its value, in unused con

I started to point that out to
the owner, but he cut me short
"I know that," he said, "but
I'd like to raise money on these
now in a hurry. How can I go
bout it?"
The best advice I could give
for immediate results was to
call on four collectors and see
what they had to say. Obvious
ly the block -was worth more
than S70. The thing to do
would be ask ten times as much
and work down. .
And that's what he did. The
third prospect paid him S215

these things tactfully. I know
my mother is too strict with
Penny and I fell she's going to
make things very hard for her.
Mother would be furious with
me if I let on that I put Caroline
up to the whole thing. I have
tried to have this thing out with
my mother before, but she told
me she knows better than I do
what is best for Penny. I feel
that Caroline should have had
more sense than to take Penny
to a play my mother would con
sider objectionable.
I think the best way out of
this thing is for Caroline to apol
ogize to Mom and then forget
this whole business with Penny.
If she can't manage to help her
without antagonizing my moth
er, the plan is hopeless from the
beginning. I am very much dis
appointed. '
The Council Tom placed a
most unfair burden on his young
bride. A much older, more ex
perienced woman could hardly
handle this affair tactfully, but
probably would have had the
wisdom to shun the task from
the start.
Tom, also, is taking too much
upon himself. He was right to
tell his mother how he felt about
the way she treats Penny, but
his responsibility ended there.
He had no right to try to under
mine his mother's influence with
her child. It takes onlv a little
imagination for him to see how

he would feel if an outsider
tried to do the same with a child
of his.
Caroline is trying hard to
please both her husband and his
family, but she should learn dis
cretion rather than blind obedi
ence. She should have thought
through the inevitable results of
her getting involved in this af
fair. There is little to be gained in
Tom's explaining to his mother
that "it was all his fault." Caro
line will still" remain directly
responsible. She should, there
fore, simply explain to her mother-in-law
that she did not realize
the play would be objectionable
and that in the future she will
get the mother's approval before
she takes Penny anywhere.
