Little Things
About Letters
DETAILS WHICH SHOW MARKS
OF GOOD BREEDING.
Polite Conventionalities of Sta
tionery, Handwriting Sigma
lures and Forms.

Women of breeding are exceedingly con-
ventional in respect TO stationery, visit
ing cards, invitations, etc, and will brook
no ecceutricities, SO in case you have n dis
position TO be original in the matter of
writing paper. nionograms. etc. curb your
ardor until you are quite certain your
taste is correct, for rest assured society
Will make no exception in your case.
Many a good and sweet woman has for
ever lost her chance of.adniittance into the
social set she so eagerly desired TO min
gle with through her ignorance of the laws
governing written and engraved conimuni-
cations. No one is Strong enough or rich
enough or powerful enough TO triumphantly
defy the edict concerning the letter and
note paper of the fashionable world. Good
form i'll writing and in writing materials
is second only in Importance to that crucial
test of breeding, the dinner table code.
The rules governing all correspondence
are plainly set down, and may not be tam
pered with. IL is absolutely imperative
that one should spell properly and write
fair hand, and that one should express
oneself in well-chosen and correct English.
CORRECT STATIONERY.
In fitting up your writing desk you will
save yourself much annoyance by purchas-
ing the proper stationery ana accessories oil
n fashionable tradesman. DO not be per-
suaded to buy anything conspicuously novel
OF new in the way OF paper OF envelopes.
Plain white paper ls always in good taste.
Ruled paper should never find its way to
your escritoire. The forms and colors of
fered one in stationery are constantly
changing. Pale green or blue paper are
acceptable, but pInks aEd greens always,
unless the whinl of a woman who is at fash
ions pinnacle, and powerful enough to in
dulge i'll caprice, subject the user at least
TO satirical criticism. French paper, which
is thin and was proper enough for foreign
letters while the postage was matter OF
consideration, is now rarely used.
For letters to ones intimates. select paper
of medium size, and rather small note pa
per both for writing and answering invita-
tions.
1t is no longer fashionable to indulge in
snowy monograms, notices or initials on

writing paper. A crest is in good form; it
should either be embossed or simply en-
graved in one color-black, blue, scarlet,
mauve or pale gray on white paper. The
address is now leg ibly engraved at the head
of all of ones stationery, a custom which is
most Justly popular, for who has not, in
times gone by, racked his brain hunting for
addresses of the writers of communications
demanding an immediate reply. Besides
the engraved address it is de rigcur in every
case to add the date. In a letter, the day,
month and year must be given. In a note
it is only necessary to mention the day.
For example at the head or end OF letter
write:
'New York, June 15, 1896.
In a note write the day of the month only
at the end and after the signature.
"Sincerely yours.
"CLARISSA HARLOW RATHBONE.
Thursday, the 11th.'
Above all things, write legibly. 1t is not
civil to torment your friends with hero
giyphics which necessitate calling in the
entire family to decipher. Any distinct
school of handwriting is to be condemned.
Were we all to write precisely alike our
correspondence would be wanting in char
acter and expression. One cannot con-
ceive of a love letter written in perfect
Spenceridn style, without a smile, and a
document of supreme Importance, say, for
instance, the Declaration of Independence,
with every signature in handwriting
precisely like the one preceding it, would be
an almost exasperating record. 1t is the
individuality, the spontaneity, the orig
inality in persons which attract us, and
the strong characteristics of the men and
women are as evident in their handwrit-
ings as in their conversation and appear
ances. Do not attempt, therefore, to pat
tern after any one school, and especially
avoid the angular handwriting which many
of our girls have pushed to really mad
dening limits. Write your own hand and
train yourself, first of all, to write legibly,
and secondly, do not permit yourself
to copy your letters; you will invariably
change and stiffen them by doing So
Practice writing just what you wish to
say-do not search for high-sounding SEN
tences in which to express very simple
fact. Never attempt flourishes. have

lures which would be minus many curve

the ridicule inevitably produced by such
srandiloquence on paper.

ed, Edward shppen, ESQ.," but notes
OF invitation or regret may be addressed
to .'Mr. Edward Shppen."
Sign every communication with your en-
tire name. 1t is supposed your name was
given you for just such purposes. 1t makes
no difference to whom you are addressing
your communication. Edward Shipper you
are and must sign your name. to your
butcher or the President of our glorious
republic, as the case may be, and by that
same token the highest authorities now de-
clare one must, in writing ones butcher
and grocer, begin with "Mr. Jones-Dear
Sir" and must address the envelope to
''MR. CHARLES JONES,
Grocer" etc.
Never attempt nicknames or abrevia-
tions With any but relatives. Think twice
before writing a letter of sentiment TO the
other sex. Alasl ard alas! for the senti-
mental letters We have all written in ''our
salad days" and repented of very much
at our leisure. Is there anything capa-
bic of making one feel more fiat and un-
profitable and miserable than the foolish
words we have written and cannot recall.
Once in a way some of these silly effu
sions get into the newspapers, and of the
thousands that do not they are fair exam
