"Their poor, deluded husbands!
Prudy; [ feel almost as if it were our
duty to get them a divorce and marry
them ourselves"
"a fig for deluded husbands" said
Prudy, heartlesSly. "Think of
BUSINESS ON HAND.

our correspondence. You write like
ten men, SO answer for US both. Say
went out of town Sunday and left you
to make appointments for the company.

trademark themselves with bunch of
red carnations, and the married women
to reveal their identity by bunch of
roses.
