One of Fapa’s Love Letters.

A girl recently played a cruel joke on her mother, and this is how it happened: She acidentally found a love letter that her father had written to her mother in the halcyon days of their courtship. She read the letter to her mother, substituting her own name and that of her lover. The mother raved with anger and stamped her foot in disgust, forbidding her daugher to have anything to do with a man who would write such nonsensical stuff to a girl. The girl then gave the letter to her mother to read, and the house became so suddenly quiet she could hear the snowflakes falliug iu the back yard.
