(To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] Sia,—In reply to your

correspondent "Tired Woman," the epi- taph she inquires about was published in the Daily Graphic in August, 1905. It was found written by Catherine Allsop, a Sheffield washerwoman who hanged herself on a piece of clothes- line on July 31st, 1905, and at the inquest the lines copied by her on a piece of sugar-paper were read to the jury, whose verdict was suicide during temporary insanity.—I am, Sir, &c., Killiney Lodge, Killiney, Co. Dublin. CHARLES GAAIDLE.
