There is n very amiable lady who
uses her love letters to score off her
husband when opportunity occurs 1t
is her custom when her husband says
anything disparaging To her to fetch
out one OF these relics of courtahip
days and reel off the glowing tribute
to her virtues which is therein con

to sundry successful raids which the
poor prosecuted husband has made up
on them, the number has been consid-
