: Woman and the Postscript.
There is an ancient and mere or less
substantially founded tradition that no
woman can write a letter without ad-
ding postscript Of more Importance
than all the rest of the missive. A
witty Frenchman contributes the lat
est story on this fruitful topic. One
morning he received long and charm
ingly written letter from a woman
whose handwriting he failed to recog-
nize. She was evidently acquainted
with him, for she wrote Of persons
and things in which he was interested.
At the end of some dozen pages of
feminine prattle came this postscript:
"You will see by my signature that
am married"
