SYSTEM IN LETTER WRITING
Busy Woman Will Find 1t Saves Time

All busy women know the value OF

In the matter of letter writing many
women are great procrastinators. They
persistently leave important letters un.

note, often forgetting to take up i'm.
portant subjects for discussion.
The best way to do is to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly

the other side can withstand the rain

cially for travelling, walking in the
country or even for riding and driv-

Misunderstood Gator.

The winter afternoon was like June,
and, taking tea under a palm on the
lawn of the Royal Poinciana at Palm
Beach, sportsman said:
This morning | photographed an
alligator. My boy, to get him, stripped
and waded into the water up to his
chin. The boy felt about with his
feet in the mud till he found big
gator. Then he ducked down, grabbed
the gator by the nose and dragged
him slowly ashore to the waiting

Immensely wide frills are among the
