Just for the heck of it, I sent back Carter and Van Peel's offer.  There
really is no purchase necessary, and they really do send you a "semi-
precious" (cough) gem.  I got an opal on "genuine gold electroplate"!!
I had it appraised (my landlord is a goldsmith and a gemologist) at
around $2.00, which is a lot better than the 50-cent black star of
India someone else sent me!

Remember, if you're lonely, once - just once - order something from
a catalog.........
