Press Receives
Unknown Screeds

The Press has an unknown con-
tributor. Every day this week the
mail has brought an article Of some
kind or other. 1t is unfortunate
that the greater part Of the writ
ing is not decipherable.
The literary ettusions started
with a compliment to the lady whose
picture appeared on the front page
of the Press last Saturday under. the
heading: ''Shoots Her Own Fur
Coats" Incidentally, the parts of
the contributions which can be read
reveal without doubt that the
writer Is u woman, and a woman
who has learned whole lot about
masculine psychology.
Each OF the letters embodies a lot
of advice about how to treat men,
the art of cooking for them being
particularly stressed. Today :
screed is devoted to lot OF re-
clpes which are lost to posterity,
together with other gems or
thought, on account of the writing,
which can only be made out III
spots.
