Love Letter Writing.

The latest device of girlhood is a fancy for stuffing pillows with their old love letters. There is one thing about the contents of these pillows that can be depended upon with a marked degree of certainty—they are sure to be soft

Now, the question naturally arises, say sth e N.Y. Sun, Mu s t the pIHo w be stuffed with Fetters from a single person, or may missive from Jack and John and Algernon be tumbled promiscuously together? Is it a test of loyalty that when once a girl really falls in love, or thinks she doos, that she discard from her pillows all letters save those ot the subject of her deepest affection? And how does marriage effect the fate of the pillows? Do husbands enjoy having their wives’ faces buried in a mass of soft nothings that other men have written to them? And what dreams may come, and what skimpy, flat, little pi Hows some poor girls must have; but how nice it is for some men to reflect that their adored ones slumber softly on these words of love, and what an excellent place to store away the litter of letters.
