In last Sundays issue of your paper
under the head of local whist gossip
appeared a communication, signed
"Anti Miss Matte" but whether writ
ten by man, woman or child, no fellow
can find out individually. | am lr-
clined to the opinion that a woman
wrote it, and to cover her breaks pre-
tends to think that woman cannot
learn to play whist, declaring tha
"she lacks the quantity and quality OF
brain matter and is almost totally de-
void of reasoning faculties And YET
this same anti-Mattie recommends
lady teacher for all those desiring Up
become proficient in the game and
says, mo one in the city is better quaI-
flied for the position of instructor
Now am / not right in judging that a
woman wrote the article in question:

discernment than to have payed such
a tribute to woman at the beg nuRs

However, leaving out the question
the statement of anti-Miss Matte is
it really true that woman is devoid
Of reasoning power, or is this slight

lowed the concert. The young ladies
were attired in the costumes of Eye
olden times, with powdered hair or
wigs, and an abundance of lace. They
looked charming and excited so much
admiration, that it would not have been
strange if some of them inwardly
hoped for return of the customs and
mode of dress of the Revolutionary
period. Some of the dresses were
worn by grandmothers and great

Another affair which was rendered
all the more enjoyable because of its

which those who participated gave

arranged with Rede1ler Bros for shar-
ing the profits of the sales on Friday
and Saturday, the store to be under
