A Woman's Letter.

Women, 1t is generally admitted
write better letters than men.
M Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. The
obvious meaning is never the one VT
should read into a woman's letter
There is always a yelled meaning
Woman makes use OF letter just
as she employs a glance or a smile
In way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect And, after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person addressed
Just like the letters OF some hon.
