THE NOTE ELEGANT.
The Careful Woman Should He Yer
Particular In Her Correspondence.

The Careful Woman Should He Very
Particular In Her Correspondence.
It takes poet or a woman to condense
into the few brief sentences Of the con-
ventional note the comprehensive, grace
full message of congratulation or condo
lence, the elegant acceptance Of invita-
ton, or the exquisite refusal which
never offends. Some one has called wo-
man ''the genius of epistolary communi-
cation" and indeed the gift of graceful
letter writing is one peculiar to women,
handed down from mother to daughter
through the mystery Of heredity. Ger
tain regulations govern these apparent
ly spontaneous productions, even as a
Browning sonnet in all its mysticism
conforms to the requirements of verse
structure. In the first place the note
elegant is not written upon the con-
venient correspondence card, but upon
small sheet of thick cream paper,
either glazed or rough, according as the
writer's taste inclines. The sheet has
at the top the street and number of the
lady's address in plain letters, the name
of her country home, or the town in
which she lives, if it is so small as to be
without numbered houses. The sheet
is folded once and inclosed in q square
envelope, and is more elegant and cere-
monial if sealed with wax.
As to the chirography, that which is
most illegible is most stylish. If a wom-
an cannot correct her unfortunate habit
of writing so that people can read it in
any other way she uses a quill pen,
which generally brings about the desired
result The great featuresof the stylish
hand is that it has no curves, but is
sharply pointed and the letters are
closely crowded together. The reason
why this style of writing is considered
elegant is that it cannot from its forma-
ton be written hastily. Any evidence
of haste is considered inelegant, whether
it manifests itself in careless toilet or
in a careless note. The note begins on
the first page, skips to the fourth, and
finishes up by being written across the
sheet on the inside pages. This is one
of the things it is we'll for man to re-
member, for sometimes the words Of the
fourth page are not read at all, as the
signature is on the third and complica-
tons arise thereby.
One thing for a woman to remember
is that she can never afford to write a
careless note, for some one is certain to
see it and judge her by it just as she is
sure to meet the man for whose opinion
she most cares when she goes out in her
old bonnet.
The woman who wrote in her haste
upon her visiting card, ''Come with
pleasure" in answer to a dinner invita-
ton, found the gates of society closed
against her ever afterward as one too
busy or too brief for civility. Abbrevia-
tions and numerals are as bad form in
the note elegant as derby hat with a
dress suit.-New York Sun.

Explanatory Statement.

In justice to the management Of the
Soldiers home, 1t should be said that
the burial of the thrce inmates that re-
Gently died, and were inferred without
funeral services, Was in pursuance OF
necessity rather than . purpose TO

city, but before gong had giving due
notice that during his absence no re-
ligious services would be held. IL was
also arranged that In case of death the
body or bodies should be inferred aud
memorial services held afterwards 40 10
frequently done in other cases. In two
of the cases 1T least public funerals
could not have bcen held owing to the

OF the dead bodies. The CON-
plaint came from q chronic
kicker and one whose right to live in
the Home 10 a question of serious doubt.
1t was entirely uncalled for and The
HERALD feels 1t q duty to say that it
was offered IN good faith by gentle

lished as received after inquiry had
been made to establish the truth of the
charge that burial had been made with
out religious services. Memorial ser.
wees for the men decently yet private
ly buried will be held next Sunday,
when the last respects to their memory
will be paid with as much feeling and
propriety as there would have been at
the time of burial.
