A MANS PERSONAL LETTERS
They should Not he Addressed to
His Place of Business.

A young man in business is wisest who
sees to it that his personal letters do not
come to his business address.
Aside from the technical point that he
has no right to use his employers adj
dress for social correspondence, and that
it is not the place for such letters, it
means freedom from distraction which
is valuable to him. The receipt of social
letters at business places often means
their answer there, and so one evil null
tiplies into another A young man :
business hours should be devoted to bus
iness, and he can not be too strict in the
observance of that rule. Nor should Oh,
girls seek in any respect to lead our
young men to give laxity to that rule
The best kind OF a self respecting girl, or
the other hand, is she who helps young
man to keep inviolate rule 50 obviously
for his own best interests, present and fu

young man alone during business hours
That is the rule of wisdom, and ! wisl
that every girl woulu learn it and ad
