/ am sorry that you lost your first, last
and only love in such a dramatic way.
1t seems TO me that if his love had
been Of the right sort, when You came
to play his accompaniment and stir
up the cold clay Of the dead rooster
that had crawled into the melodeOn and
persisted, he would have overlooked it
and loved YOU still He might have
still given you his hand in marriage,
holding his nose with the other until
help came. Such a man could not
have made you happy and | rejoice TO
know that you got shet Of him.
Ignominnie. Talbot, Ind.-It is the
duty of tho mother 10 call upon the
mother OF the young lady to whom her
son is engaged-that is, it is the duty
of the sons mother to call upon the
mother OF the girl to whom the mothers
son is engaged, but as you have no
mother, your own mother having &C
cepted an invitation last fall to so to
Europe with kind-hearted roue from
town, and You living with your father,
I am satisfied that it the duty OF the
mother Of your intended or financier,
as The French call him. to call upon
your father and the fact that she is a
widow of good reputation and owning
a prosperous tannery and strawberry
bed should cut no ice in the matter, if
Won viii pardon the bluntness Of a
scholarly man who wishes to be per-
fectly direct and honest with you.
Patti de Foy Gras, Hickory, n. c.
1. Yes. your handwriting is unique,
but is is not calculated to command
large prices from the magazines.
Your idea that literary excellence and
Spencerian penmanship are synony-
nous is an error. II often happens that
the most graceful writer's, as you cali
them. do not succeed in letters. A
warm friend of mine, who went to New
York armed with letters from me 10
such men as Mr.. Howells, is now, after
years Of patient labor writing addresses
on large packing cases for store on
Twenty-third street and his friends
think that he IS engaged in literary
pursuits because he tells them tha, his
writings so everywhere and that his
life is wholly given up to letters. ,.
You carried the matter a little too far,
Patti. and your artistic tastes led you
to fail down. as It were, when you
skewered the rib roast with your orna-
mental hatpin. A hatpin may be used
TO pick the kernel out Of a pecan, to
hold a window UD. to drive away a
burglar who is under the bed, to pune
ture an Easter egg, to tap q dropsical
friend, TO waken ones husband IN
church, in eating strawberries daintily,
TO secure a rare bug in the field or one
not so rare at a hotel, to crack ice, 10
cultivate corn. TO clean typewriting
machine. to break steers. to attract the
attention Of boil, to butcher a turkey,
torepair fence. to fasten q door, TO dis
ciDline a child, TO make a skirt hang
nroperlv. or to start a balky horse but
when you jabbed through the roast
Won outraged every principle of propri-
etv and frightened away a most deslr-
able Young man. W ueI even al anu
appetite clash. there you will find wee,
there YOU viii find heartache and red
ness of eyes. l would not be surprised
to know that you may, as q result Of this
act. 20 down to an old maids grave.
al am very glad that YOU like my lit
erarv work. and that all you have
achieved in life YOU owe to my helpful
words. 1t is a great work, Patti, but
I like it. Oh. / like it! f. I would ad-
wise YOU to either consult a physician
or some good barber in regard to your
beard. or If you live in the country
YOU might let it go and color it some
nice shade TO match the carpet. .. The
beautiful beetle from the tropics to
which YOU allude, sometimes worn as
an ornament, with a delicate gold chain
attached. is a very quaint style OF dec
grafton. but. as You say, when 1t falls
into ones soup at a banquet, or gets
into a fight with your neighbours bee
tie in church, and you have to call on
the Dastor to come and separate them,
it becomes wholly unworthy Of one try
ing 10 live an earnest life.
