Her Interpretation.

The monotony of the postal official’s daily routine is frequently broken by the peculiar whims and caprices of eccentric members of the public with whom he is from time to time brought in contact, said a Londoner. A lady once sent to her son a pair of trousers by book post, which is, of course, cheaper than parcel post. The postal official wrote to her: "Clothes cannot be sent by book post. If you will refer to the Postofflce Guide you will see under what conditions articles may be sent by book post.” After a few days the lady replied: "I have looked into the Postofflce Guide, and find that articles which are open at both ends may be sent by book post. And if trousers are not open at both ends I should like to know what is.”
