The first, whose envelope bore the
stamp of The Titusfeld Literary Clarion,
was brief enough. The editor regretted
that Miss Morse's manuscript had proved
unsuited to his columns, but would re-
turn it to her address on the receipt of
sufficient postage stamps to defray the
cost of transportation by mail.
'sTheres an end of thatp cried Libby,
passionately, tearing the letter in two
and flinging its fragments on the ground.
The second was an elegantly written
note on scented and monogramed paper
from the secretary of the Woman's Bar
ter establishment, stating that Miss
Morse's kind favor, per the Rackawaxen
Railroad express, had been sampled, and
had unfortunately proved to be below
the standard which the establishment
had set up. The box awaited her orders,
and Mrs. Geraldus Geofreys remained
hers truly, ETC., etc.
'sIt's all nonsensel" cried breathless
Libby. STANDARD of excellence, in
deed! It's all favoritism. There's a ring
i know there is! The whole thing
ought to be exposed through the news
papers"
The third letter was brief enough. 1t
