Being daily reader of your newspaper, trust you will allow me a little space in your valuable Paper to say something about a wite's jealously.

On Tuesday last—just one week fago—I went to an auction, which took place at a foreign house the western district. A Britis!

Jzsntleman of red complexion went. here with his wife too. Tt was then Jonly 2.20 p.m: and the auction was. tw take place at 2.30. I was looking Jat one of the articles when, by: chance, I boked "at the British gentleman of red complexion. I found, to my great surprise, that his wife was at once excited by Jealousy. She got x0 jealous that she looked at me angrily every minute during the auction.

Well, Sir, if T look at a gentleman, T certainly do not mean that I would love him asa lover loves a sweet heart. Tke British lady may rest Jassured that I would never lave! her husband, as his appearance docs salt my taste ay all. Moreover, have more European admirers [than T wish to have.

There is a question which I wish to ask you, Sir. If eyes are not. fused to look at every human being. and everything of the world, why did the Creator create our eyes for just The more the British lady Hooked at me angrily, the better 1 knew that British ladies are not familiar with the book of etiquette. The best way for a jealous wife to keep her husband from being loved by any lady is either to ask her ynusband to wear a thick vell when-lever he goos out or to ask him to paint his face with black paint, for Jone wants to love, or even to Took Jat black man. I hope that all ladies, who would be excited by [jealousy if their husbands are look-fed at by the female sex, will keep their husbands from being loved or looked ay by other ladies by applying either of the two metifils given Trusting that you will kindly albw me f little space in your paper for this letter, and thanking. you in anticipation, T am, etc,
