A Woman's Letter

Women, it is generally admitted write
better letters than men. says a French
man.
NJ. Marcel Provost has discovered the
reason for the superiority. He says:
The obvious meaning is never the one
we should read into a woman's letter.
There is always q veiled meaning Woman
makes use Of a letter just as she employs
glance or q smile, in a way that is care
fully thought out and with an eye to
effect. And, after all, does a woman's
hat serve TO cover her head? Does
woman's parasol keep off the sun? why.
then, should q woman's letter serve 70
convey her real thoughts TO the person
addressed, just ike the letters Of some
honest grocer who writes: / send you
five pounds Of coffee because he really
does send you five pounds Of coffee?'
