ABOUT ENVELOPE ETIQUETTE.
Message Must BE Sealed to BE Deemed
Entirely Correct.

The latest fad with the ultra-fash-
ionable is the absence of the envelope.
We have gone back to the days of the
olden times, when the red waters and
the sealing wax and the folded'paper
were all that custom demanded or
knew. The modern or recalled fash
ion has substituted the daintiest tinted
waters to match the paper, heliotrope,
robins egg blue, cerulean lilac, fawn or
cream, for the mucilaged flap OF the
envelope. One must write on big
sheet if it is a letter; on the smaller
size il notes, invitations, etc; fold and
seal. and then wafer may be added
for extra strength, or the seal alone
will answer, if one desires. Sometimes
the paper is folded like the cooked mats
or the dainty squares. which not even
the curious pCStman would trouble 10
daily with, ard then, if one Will, the
seal and wafer may be dispensed with.
Do YOU want to know how to fold these
dainty mIssives? Then just ask grand
ma. | warrant she has not forgotten.
for, if all's true that's said. she had
plenty of them in her younger days.
Just ask her. She'll deny her billets
doux at first, no doubt. but she'll be
pleased just the same to recall them
and teach you how they came to her.
The envelope is barbarism evolved
by a suspicious inventor, or maybe by
one who was practical rather than
artistic. However, fashion moves in
cycles, and the cycle of the envelope is
passing. If you intend to adopt this
new style of sending letters be sure
that your paper is heavy weight
enough to stand the journey, and when
you receive one in turn do not cut and
slash as you have been accustomed to
do with the envelope. but remove the
waters, break the seal and the writing
will greet your eye untorn.-New York

General Otis reports OF the army
casualties in the Philippines show
that prolific cause OF death is that
class of disease which proceeds from
neglect of dietary precautions. In 6
trying climate like that of Luzon it is
especially necessary to be careful
what one eats and drinks, and to have
regard for all the laws Of nature; but
in less degree the same necessity
exists in the temperate zone. The
sum total of happiness in the United
States would be visibly increased il
everybody took care to cat only such
food as agrees with him, and TO Keep

been called the national malady, but
it is less often pointed out that in its
train come other and more grievous
bodily evils.
