ELEGANT LETTER WRITING.
A Distinct Social Function of the Sue
cessfuI Society Woman.

A Distinct Social Function of the Sue
cessuI Society Woman.
The ability to write a really elegant let
ter is a graceful accomplishment well
worth the acquisition Of the educated
woman, and Harper's Bazaar remarks con
corning it: "As society is carried on at pres
ent. notes and letters must be frequently
exchanged-nOteso of invitation 10 various
occasions, notes accepting or declining in
vitations, notes Of congratulation, of con
dolence, Of inquiry, Of regret, of ceremony.
In fact, the writing Of letters forms a dis
tinct social function, and occupies no small
portion of a wOman's morning, if she goes
about at all or keeps pace with the engage
ments of her set.
"To write a good business letter, straight
forward, courteous direct, comprehensive
and winning requires not only a special
talent, but a special training. The num-
Der of persons whose business letters are
models Of brevity, clearness and pohteness
is always limited, perhaps for the reason
that almost everybody is sure that the
thing is perfectly simple, and remains IN
this conviction untn he attempts 1t for
himself In a business letter the greatest
conciseness, in connection with the most
unfailing urbanity, is a sine qua non.
In a letter of friendship on the other
hand, there is opportunity for graceful diff
)lsiveness and the air of charming per
siaage which BELTS the conversation OF
persons in a drawing room. A bit OF COM
phment, little fun, little exaggeration
are not amiss in the friends letter 70 her
friend.
1.-THE dress of letter is matter Of i'm
portance. One should have on hand sup
ply of note paper ofdifferent sizes, with en-
velopes to match, avoiding all eccentrici-
ties Of shape and tint. Plain white paper
of good quality is always satisfactory TO
the requirements Of good form. A fad OF
the hour has permitted women TO write an
illegible scrawl, but the sooner this goes
out the better"
