a WON ans Postsc, int.

"Why women write postscripts" Is
problem that has been engaging the
attention of one of the London wo-
mans weeklies. The answers betray
that the sex understands itself, and
does not mind exposing its amiable
weaknesses. All are from women,
who ascribe, among others, these raa-
sons: Because they seek to rectify
want Of thought by an afterthought;"
because they are fond of having a
last word" because they write be-
fore they think and think after they
have written"
One correspondent puts down the
feminine p. S. to the same cause
which leads women to prolong
leave-taking in omnibuses, namely"
and rather profoundly it apNars to
the casual observer. that they lack
organization Of thought" Another
woman comes to the defense of her
sisters with the suggestion that when
women have anything special to
communicate they know that
their p. S. is equivalent to
N. b." and yet another friendly
soul turns neat compliment in her
reason: Probably because woman
herself is the embodiment of the P. s.
in the scale Of creation-she-the in
despensable-was added last"
