KISSES AND

New York. April l9--Tf the person
answering the foregoing description
writes TO the Inquiry Department % the
United States Post Offce al Washington
she may get back the contents Of n Bos-
ton bag. which the clerks at the New
York postcfhce say came hurling down
a mail chute in the department a day
or two ago.

Dearest Little Bird" that closed with
ten thousand KISSES" and which was
signed Charley"
A celrk built UP girl in his mind
from the exhibit. He figured that a
corset marked twenty-four inches
would ft a rather slender girl. From
the size of the filmy drop-stitch stock
ings this clerk deduced the idea that
the girl was ive feet three inches Then
he dreamed that all this showed she
weighed l8 pounds. Next he thought
as there was a typewriter rubber in the
bag the owner was a stenographer and
as the bag was rather we'll worn he
figured that its owner came down town
early, and went home late, which made
him think that the girl was working
as a stenographer for a commercial con-
cern that likes long hours.
The latter is deduced from the belief
that tho girl must have been late to
work, so she dropped her bag instead
of Letter in her hurry. Then the post
office clerk summed up his deductions,
and there you are.
As the goods are In Washington now
the fair brunette can write there. Only,
next time, she may not be so lucky In
getting her goods returned.
The deduction that the girl is a br,i-
nette is pure guesswork and because
the tall blond clerk who claims that he
made this deduction rather hikes lit
tie brunettes."
While in the past women have been
known 10 mail false teeth by mistake.
as well as bank-books and many other
queer things, this Is the FIRST time that
the New York postofnce has ever run
up against a combination Of rubber, face
powder. face-beauther, corsets and
1000 kisses all IN a bunch.
