Thoughts on Style.
Say the letter was not a business letter
and were dated for the return mail"
Why, then l should say, without any data
but the dates, that the dater wasn't very
used to writing social letters. I'd say
that he was a very married man or a
bachelor of such length of standing that
he had forgotten what a love letter looked
like. I'd say his style would be somewhat
stilted and as formal as were the letters
of fifty years ago.
Say the letter of March II were a reply
TO a letter that was somewhat in the style
adopted by the inhabitants of that country
whose sovereign is a blindfolded boy with
wings and a CULVER full of arrows; and say
the first letter were written three weeks
before March II, then I'd say that the
person who wrote that March II was a
person who knew what she was about, a
person who knew enough to know that a
little judiciCus waiting was the very means
by which to accelerate the speed of the car
which bears people to the blind boys coun-
try; or maybe she is-who knows?-a pr
son who wears her heart so deep down

where 1t lies or what it holds. Perhaps
the letter dated March II was written
three weeks ago and she made herself wait
three long weeks to date it. There have
been people in the world with such queer
ways as these. So much for the date.
Then there is the paper. There's a deal
OF a persons individuality in the paper
that he uses. Say it is cheap cot on paper.
Then perhaps he is poor. Well. perhaps.
he is, but he is something else, too. He Is
careless in his habits of living and he Is
generally careless in his dress and he cares
nothing for the beautiful in his home or
Its surroundings. He would be as happy or
as satisfied in a box Of a house at the edge
OF a marsh as in a home that was beautihed
by the best touches of nature and of art.
Poor or not poor, he would get some bet
ter paper than that il he cared to.
Say the paper has and always has a
costly monogram at the top and a crest.
Then the person who uses the paper has
money OF course. He has something else
besides money, too. He has the desire to
have you know about his money. Say the
paper is ruled. Then, II the writer likes II
so, he is a person who doesn't mind being
limited in his mode OF living, or he is a

no matter how many they come and how

there's an always new interest attached TO
the taking in of each letter. for there's
always the interest of the mysterious un-

And Of all the small means we have Of
judging our fellow men and women. their
habits, their tastes, their characteristics,
their culture. themselves, says a writer in
the St. Louis Globe-D Democrat, there is no
small means so sure, so thorough, as the
letters that they write and do not write.
When l say letters, l do not mean just the
letter itself. the sheet or sheets of paper
with the black characters, the words, the
thoughts thereon inscribed. There are so
many, many things which go to make up a
letter besides the letter itself. First of all,
as a test Of the person 1t represents, ! think
we will look at the date of the letter. Sup
pose il hasn't any date? All, well, there's
enough said, for the person who does not
date her documents is not a responsible
being, and VT need not consider her and
her letter. But just by way of parenthes.s,
the vacancy in that letter of hers shows
once again the difference which society
makes in the train of its embryo men and
women. From the time the small boy
writes his first sprawly order for a foot
ball he realizes he is somehow made TO re-
alize that the date Of his order is OF prime
importance; while his sister, more mature

he doesn't like the lines he will let you
know it before the letter is done. He will

Then there is the chirography of the let
ter to be considered, only we won't con-
slider 1t now, or we might never find time
for anything else so long as we lived, for
that is the study Of a lifetime. And there
is the length Of the letter, and if it's thirty
pages long, why then it is written by a
woman and ten to one it is written to a
woman, because any woman knows enough
not to bore a man that she likes, and she
wouldn't waste thirty pages of her time
upon a man she didn't like, even to spite
him. But when she is writing to a woman.
why, that is different.
There's the spelling of a letter, of course,
and everybody knows that it is no credit
at all to a person to spell we'll and a great
disgrace to spell badly and there are nat
ural good spellers-people who spell cor
rectly without ever having tried-and other
people who tell you that they had to learn
to read and write three foreign tongues
before they could spell their own, and they
are generally the people whose letters
never by any chance or mischance contain
a word that is not spelled according to
Webster's very last edition. There's the
punctuation of a letter and there comes a

i Paso News says:

The Ell Paso News says:
A gloomy cloud that has made Albu-
querque people timorous about the fu-
ture of their city, for several months,
was happily dispelled yesterday by an
official of the Santa Fe Railway COM
pany who gave it out that work would
be at once begun on the proposed 200,-
mile cut off to hold Mexico, California
and Orient traffic, the loss of which
was impending through the coming of
the Rock Island across the New Mex
leo. Texas and Kansas plains, aiNl
plans of other lines to cross Utah and
Nevada from Denver to Los Angeles.
Albuquerque has been essentially a
railroad city and the loss of the coast
traffic by reason of excessive grades
and mileage ~handicapping in competi-
ton with a shorter and easier line,
would have hurt the biggest city in
New Mexico seriously. AS the Santa
Fe will be put IN an even footing,
improved service and competition will
benefit the southwest, increase traffic
and draw business from northern
lines with mountains and prairies to
cross hat are often buried in snow,
impossible at times and kept open
only at great expesnse, from which
southern lines are exempt. In the
plentitude of her prosperity in the
railway sense, FL Paso may well con-
graduate Albuquerque that although
the advent of the Choctaw railway was
headed off through the purchase of the
line by the Rock Island, the Santa
Fe's energy will be exerted in a way
to, preserve the place as a center of
travel. With California, Orient, Ari-
IONA, Mexico, New Mexico and Texas
traffic going forward by leaps and
bounds there is going to be business
enough to make both Albuquerque and
Ell Paso lively railway centers.
If, as reported today, Albuquerque
is also to have a line to Durango as
an extension of the Santa Fe Central
that taps the Rock Island at Torrance,
all the better. This will put the Du-
range country in direct touch with
this city, via the Santa Fe from Albu-
querque or the Santa Fe Central and
Rock Island from the New Mexico
city.
