A desirable correspondent is the one who
not only dates her letter, but writes upon it
the day Of the week, so that you have an in
telligent idea of what she means by ''to-mor.
row" One who discriminates in the matter
of ink, not choosing that which is so pale
that you think it is skim milk, nor the very
black or very purple, writing with it on ex.
tremely thin paper, SO that when you hold
the sheet to the light you cannot read it.
One who answers the questions asked by
you in your last letter, concluding that unless
you wanted to know you would not have
written them.
One who fastens the envelope securely, for
she knows nothing is so annoying as to re-
ceiye half opened ietter.--Babs Letter.
