LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE
Dear Tessie

Dear Tessie:
Received YOUR letter on your new green
writing paper today, and while must say
that sending out green letters seems TO me
more like throwing confetti than carrying
on a correspondence, vet after all, news
written on a green background may seem
more fresh. Joke Oh well, you mustn I
mind nv little digs, Tessie: Everything 5
q matter of taste and it takes all sorts OF
colors to make world, even green, that
my motto -, -.
Saw, Tessie, / hope your health keeps
up as steady as prices are doing; but l see
by the papers where the president o, the
american Wooden Mills is quoted as
stating that nothing would please MN
more than TO see the price OF clothes come
down in spite of the fact that the price OF
wool is going TO stay up. In other words
the outlook is bright-there's hardly 9
nrofiteer but would be only too delighted
10 see the tide start to go the other way as
long as it don't drag him off the nice high
rock that he's found for himself. Ii
could only trust my fellow man, 1essle,
believe I'd have great faith In human
| nature.
Well. YOU can vote now, Tessie. Us
men have given you the right OF the ballot
| and now when the wrong man Is elected as
usual. we can blame it on you. And I'm
not one of those that believe the home L
going TO be filed with cobwebs because
women have got the right TO duck around
: the corner a couple times year anc
scratch ladylke cross on ballot.
matinee at the movies is much more hbe
TO end UP with a can of beans. 1t took Us
men long time to give you the vote, anc
! I'm surprised, too, because we all behev'
that woman's place is in the home, and d

In the matter of whether to wear YOU
