SOME WAYS OF THE WORLD
THE TRYING TASK OF WRITING con-
VENTIoNAL NOTES OF THANKS
A HosTEsS'S JOKE.

What are called bread and butter letters in So
ciety's argot. that IS. the conventional notes Of
thanks, which Mrs. Grundy properly insists should
be written by the guests after visit to express
thanks for the hospitality received. are by no
easy 10 write and are apt to be amusingly
trite. fashionable woman, who entertains a
great deal and is gifted with a keen sense of
humor, has kept all her thank letters for the last
six months and has thereby rather couf1cal set
OF autographs from the various members of her
set, all OF whom have paid her less visits
during the season.
Hang Il all now, / Wish that there a
printed form for such letters!" exclaimed a much
invited youth. who had been painfully nditing
one of the above mentioned bread and butter
epistles. This is the twentieth letter of the kind
I have had 10 write this summer, and the third to
Mrs X. Why can't just send. Thank you, Mrs.
X had a bully time and have done with it! But

of my delightful visit to you is another. How
can I thank you sufficiently for your kind hos
pitanty' is third, and so on. If distribute them
suspicion that the one have just sent off to Mrs
X is an exact duplicate Of my last!'
At a large house party not long ago a hostess
who appreciated this diflc Jty sent groom to the
station with typewritten notes of thanks, written
and addressed TO herself The mistress says that
II you will read and sign this, it Will save you
trouble" said the servant to the guests, as he
delivered 10 each one Of the unsealed notes and a
styIographic pen. and while the former laughed at
the Joke they thankfully took advantage Of the
labor saving device, which after all, was not such
bad idea
