Suggestions for Those who Find

New York. Nov. Sin the face OF JOY or
grief, the average person with pen IN
hand finds ez pression of sympathy dih-

to write. But let the note be one of con-
graduation or coincidence. and the end Of
the penholder is often bit off before words
appear on the staring white page.
The trouble is that people prepare them
selves for such letters The best rule is to
write when the feeling Of sympathy first
comes, and not to wan. Your letter will
gain in sincerity of expression IL it is
written under such circumstances, and will
fairly write itself.
