ANSWERING LETTERs-A great many people
in this country are sbamefnly negligent about
answering letters. Nothing is more annoying.
In European countries it is regarded as the
height of ill-breediDg TO allow a letter, which
needs q reply, to go unanswered, and so it ought
to be considered here. This is point on which
parents and teachers should lay great stress to
children. They should be taught to consider
lt as rude not to reply to letter which needs
attention as to hand fork with the prong end.
The busiest people are generally those who are
most exact in this respect. The late Duke of
wellington who, it will be admitted, had good
deal on his hands at different times of his life.
replied to every letter, no matter from how
humble source. Once a clergyman, who lived
in distant part of the kingdom, wrote his
grace, on whom neither he nor his parish had q
shadow of claim, to beg for a subscription to
rebuild church. By return of mail came back
a letter from the Duke, to the effect that he
really could not see why in the world he should
have been applied to for such an object; bat
the parson sold the letter as an autograph for
TO- and put the Duke down for that amount
among the subscribers.
