When Woman Mails a Letter.

Femininity in the Post Office is an amnsing study. In the manner of dropping a simple, ordinary, white, every-day letter, for instance, she affords an insight into the character of the average woman. The looker-on had nothing else to do the other day than to watch this little operation for five minutes. Out of thirty young women who went to cast their epistles in the slot, twenty-two, by exact calculation, withdrew the letter before quite letting go of it to scan both sides of the note to be “very” sore the letter was securely sealed, properly addressed, stamped, and to bo certain no one could look through the envelope to read its contents. Out of these twenty-two ladies three bad forgotten to put a stamp on theirletter. and two had to add something to the address on the envelope, while another carried off with her the letter she had intended to mail. —Boston Record.
