  M is so ancient that no one really knows where it came from. However, because of the fragment of the jar shown here (see cut), found just outside the Garden of Eden and representing two outsiders bargaining, the origin of this letter has been credited to the Hebrews, and is interesting in showing the politeness of these early people. Money, Moses, and Mercantile all strengthen this theory. M, as described in this passage Girls of this letter will be Modest and will have Merry and Magnetic dispositions, and will be most happy when married to Masterful, Manly men of Means. The one thing to mar this letter is its connection with the word Mitten. Marriage. The conventional ending of a love affair. A lonesome state. Memory. A thing to forget with. Mirror (her mirror). Cupid’s cook stove. Misery. Lover of Company. Modesty. Conscious purity. Mole. The exception that proves the rule. Money. See Uncle. Monogamy. Sometimes spelling monotony. Moon. A planetary old maid who busies herself about other people’s love affairs and the recipient of love confidences. Mrs. The O. K. of respectability. Mustache. As Kipling says: “Kissing a man without a mustache is like eating an egg without salt.” (?) The question was recently put before the Ten Million subscribers of The Perfectlady’s Home Journal, every one of whom, without a single exception, replied that she did not know—never having eaten an egg without salt. A Masculine Note:—If SHE is an M girl you will be lucky if HER name is Malinda or Miriam or Mabel or Miranda or Melicent or Maud or Mehetabel or Magdalene or Maria or Minerva or Marion or Minna or Margaret or Matilda or Marcia or Marianne or Melissa or Martha or Mary.
