again, but he rose quietly and walked
away; he did not like to be listener,
however involuntarily, for he was gen.

that presence, however, by his own abb

picture of the tall, slight figure, grace

proud, delicate, sensitive face; the
abundant brown hair, shot with red

Dorothea Schenck was aspoiled child.
The idea of obedience was as distaste-.

excited by some careless gossip of Grace

her in regard to his business affairs, and
had long since told her she must give
up certain habits of lavish expense, or

Reform in Love Letters.

This custom that the papers have of
printing the love letters that are pro-
duced in Court as evidence in breach Of
promise cases would be bad enough if
they would only correct the orthog-
raphy, but thev don't. The editor
seems TO take fiendish delight in re.
producing such amatpry and damaging
epistles Just az they were written, with
all their imperfections on theirhead. If
the infatuated lover tells his inamorata
thatshe his dear ''luv," and he skneeds
her evry our" thai is the way it goes
into the paper. If he pronounces her
" fir cl0ake," fir cloake it is And if
in hurried and, as it often proves, an
unguarded moment, he allEdes to her as
his tetrauthed,p the pitiless proof
reader couldn't be induced to substitute
the conventional way of spelling that
word for a mint of money. These
things are particularly narrowing to the
father of the incompetent letter-writer,
whose shame at the publication of the
correspondence is swallowed up in his
modification that he has squandered so
much money on the young mans educa-
ton. The safest way is not to write any
love letters, but if you do. it would be
advisable to have them revised and cor
rected by some expert in grammar,
photography, and punctuation before
passing out of your hands, 50 that in
case they get into the newspapers you
will not be set down as illiterate, how
ever much you may be suspected OF be-
ing fool.
