The hus­ band wfll claim that he is entitled to open the wife’s mall. The wife wfll claim that she Is entitled to open the husband’s. In the letters of neither will there be anything of a private or compromising nature, but hevertheless they both want to get their mall in­ violate—it enrages them to have It opened and read, Quarrels over this letter opening question vex, I suppose, fiO per cent of married couples.
