Climb OF the Pencil.

A new fashion that is Just beginning
70 grow in vogue is that of writing let.
tiers in pencil rather than with pen and
ink, and when once fairly established il
is doubtful whether anything but legal
documents and business papers tina:
must b. preserved will ever be prepared
in the old style. Letters are generally
shorter nowadays than they formerly
We're and more hastily written, more
frequent and seldom worth keeping for
any length of time. They are not the
elaborate efforts Of bygone days. that
were often cherished for their intrinsic
worth. The pencil. which is far more
convenient than the pen, is therefore
taking its place in the great mass OF
casual correspondence. - Kansas City

CROSSED IN LOVE.

Probably nothing more wholly, more
exclusively concerns the persons enter
Ing into Il than their marriage. And
vet, as . rule, all their associates and
most Of their scquaintances seem to feel
"a much interest In It as themselves, aud
talk more about It. Their knowledge OF
the engagement, and how It was brought
about, with every minor detail, appears
very much greater than the knowledge
of the couple immediately involved.
The fact Is that marriage, generally
and particularly, Is 4 subject Of extreme
interest to young people everywhere,
especially to young women, anu IN al
ranks OF society. IL Ia not strange,
therefore, that Il should furnish endless
gossip and criticism, though these may
be excessive, and are often mischievous.
Many mortals may be In no wise attract

marriage they become attractive by that
circumstance alone.
The regard, the reverence, felt Tor
wedlock Is proof Of civilization. Every
truly enlightened person believes In IL as
an institution, as essential 10 the we'll

declines IL on his own account. The
