DEAR LAURA-Your letter regarding
penmanship and also tackling obstruse
questions regarding the great why. and
laying hold on the mysterious because,
was duly received through the personal
influence Of Mr.. Wanamaker.
| hardly know how to answer you
fully and succinctly, and | would hate
TO write you and then feel afterward
that the letter was not succinct.
would judge from Your letter that you
are naturally full of sparkle and chaste
gayety, but had been kept back and
stepped On and bruised by Fate and
thrown down, and i'll fortune has, as |
may say, had you in the door. Excuse
plain words, for am a plain man, plain
and simple. make a speciality Of both
of these features.
Your letter and composition would in
dictate that You could make some good
man deliriously happy if you would.
You would have to use judgment OF
course about letting this happiness
dawn On him too suddenly. You should
sort of mentally unfold to him day by
day, as it were, SO that he can get &C
climated. That would be my advice.
Do not let him mentally founder HIM
self. 1t might give him brain collie, and
nothing is more disagreeable than for
an intellectual bride to have to walk
the floor of nights with groom who
has overloaded his thinker and has acid
ity and water brash on the brain.
Be careful, Laura, to dawn on him
easy, like an October morning. Do not
burst on him like the unexpected return
of an American husband who said he
was going to be away all night, but
steal in On his darkened soul like foot
pad in York state. Sort of grow on
him, like beautiful hchen or edible
fungus. Cling to him, as Deuteronomy
would say. like pup to root.
You are of kindly nature, and would
also shine in the household. Iwould say
that, Judging by your handwriting, you
would make a good jell cake with frost
ing on it, if reverses came. Also that
you would turn out good clinker built
pie, while in the matter Of needlework
and rag carpets you would arouse The
envy and malice of the great maestros
and artists.
The acoustics of your rag carpets
would awaken a new interest in explo-
sives. You would not be content with
initiating nature in your art You would
make foliage good deal greener than
nature has ever dared to do, and your
sunsets would be redder and more in
temperate, think.
But you must not be cast down, Laura.
Certainly would encourage you to be
brave. Good men are scarce and shy
now, but when spring opens you will
hear their baritone honk as they go
northward, Do not get too near them
while melting, for they are timid and
easily startled, but watch your chance
when they are grazing and possibly dur
ing the sucker season you may land one,
for men as rule are not SO able as they
let on to be.
