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 plain man, plain
and simple. | make d specially of both
of these features.
Your letter and composition would in
dicate 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 b.
day, as it were, so that he can get &C
climated. That would be my advice.
Do not let him mentally founder him

nothing is more disagreeable than TO
an intellectual bride to have to wal
the floor of nights with groom VIII
has overloaded his thinker and has acid
ity and water brash on the brain.
Be careful, Laura, to dawn on hi1
easy, like an October morning. Do nc
burst on him like the unexpected retur
of an American husband who said h
was going to be away all night, bu
steal in on his darkened soul like foo
pad in York state. Sort Of grow o
J him, like beautiful lichen or edibl
: fungus. Cling to him, as Deuteronom
would say, like pup to root.
You are of a kindly nature, and woul
also shine in the household. Iwould sa
. that, judging by your handwriting, yc
Y would make good jell cake with fros
ing ON it, if reverses came. Also tn
g you would turn out good clinker bui
r pie. while in the matter of needlewol
and rag carpets you would arouse Il
Q envy and malice of the great maestr
and artists.
Q The acoustics Of your rag carpe
e would awaken new interest in expl
d sives. You would not be content wi
r initiating nature in your art. You wou
make foliage good deal greener thi
d nature has ever dared to do, and yo
VI sunsets would be redder and more
b temperate, think.
% But you must not be cast down, Lau,
20 Certainly would encourage you to
brave. Good men are scarce and S
