Post cards with reply paid shall have on the front, in the French language, as the heading of the first part: Carte postale avec reponse payee (post card with reply paid), and Carte postale- reponse (reply post card) on the second part. Each of the two halves shall, moreover, fulfill the other conditions laid down for a single post card; they are folded, one over the other, so that the fold forms the upper edge, and may not be fastened in any manner. 2. The address of the reply card shall be found on the inside of the article. It is permissible for the sender to indicate his name and address on the front of the reply half. The sender is also authorized to have printed on the back of the reply card a questionnaire to be filled in by the addressee. 3. The prepayment of the reply half by means of postage stamps of the country which has issued the card is valid only if both halves of the post card with reply card have arrived joined together from the country of origin and if the reply half is sent from the country where it was received by mail and is addressed to the said country of origin. rf those conditions are not ful- filled, it is treated as an unprepaid post card. 5. Post cards not fulfilling the conditions laid down for that class of articles are treated as letters with the exception, how- ever, of those on which the irregu- larity consists solely of the applica- tion of the stamps on the back. The latter are considered as un- prepaid and are treated accord- ingly, depending upon the classifi- cation to which they belong, based on the text which they contain or their dimensions.
