GIRLS SHOULD WRITE SENSIBLE LOVE LETTERS AS
MANY A MAN IS CARELESS WITH CORRESPONDENCE

may come from the head, yet be writ
ten with feeling. But emotion is a run
away horse unless reason holds the
reins
There are few letters, except those
of important and confidential business,
which are read only by the persons to
whom they are addressed. This does
not always mean an intentional be-
trayal of the writer's confidence on the
part of the recipient. There are, of
course, men who would read to others
the letters a girl has written them, in
the same spirit that they would recount
personal exploits, and, to balance
things, there are girls who make a
practice OF reading to confidants the
letters that admirers or lovers write
them.
But there Is much larger class that
is simply careless about correspon-
dence.
The man who has a rolltop desk at
his office is likely to prefer a writing
table at home for the sake of variety.
This is usually inadequate and, as a
result, letters are stuffed into a chiffon
Ter drawer. are laid on top of the
dresser, or are left in the pockets of
coats which are periodically sent to
the tailor.
Consequently, a girls, letters may
reach the curious gaze of people for
whom they were not intended. 1t is
not pleasant thought to a woman

She's sheer delight to my mental sight.
With a wit as quick as an arrows fight.
A comrade true and a sweetheart. too.
And a never wearying girl.
The woman 1 love with my soul" he
said.
rs Saint Cecilia girl:
The meanings fine of love divine
In her movements show, in her glances

Fairest of all. she holds me in thrall.
She's a simply adorable girl"
Then fare you well and forever" she

Her scarlet lips a-curl;

''Ah. love-" he said. "'tis for you I sigh.

that the endearments which she de-
may be devoured to their very crumbs
at second table by housemaid, valet or
tradesman. For this reason / repeat
with emphasis advice which my mother
gave to me in my girlhcod: Never put
down upon paper anything which you
would not be willing to have the whole
world read. at any time in your Hfe
and under any circumstances.
For there is not in loves paradise,
as in the fabulous paradise of the Mo-
hammedans, a great dog, AL Rakim,
standing guard over all letters and cor
respondence
When a girl gives her heart to a man,
she naturally believes that tis for all
time, else the gift would not be worth
the giving. And because of the purity
of her own motives she has faith that
his vows are as long as eternity. But
too often the affections of youth and
maid are indeed but tents Of a night"
Like the gossamer webs found spread
over meadow at daybreak, they are
gone, many of them, before the sun is
overhead.
The route to marriage and, after
marriage, to the golden wedding, IS a
narrow one, as famous for shipwrecks
as is the Straits of Babelmandeb, the
celebrated Gate of Tears. 1t is only the
good pilots who come into harbcr
safely.

- HE man who wrote that epi-
gram so often quoted, In order
that love letter may be what
IL should be, one should begin
without knowing what he is going to

sonal pronouns with generalization and
not conventionally. He was speaking
for the edification of a masculine aud
ience, says Dorothy Fenfmore in the
Chicago Journal
No girl could afford to follow any
such haphazard rule as this in love
correspondence. Whoever sits down to
write to her avowed admirer, or to her
fiance. should have in advance a
definite idea of what her reason is for
writing and, after she has finished,
she should know with some degree of
clearness to what course she has COM
mitted herself and invited him.
But such a love letter would have no
SAVIOR, you say 1t would lack spon-
taneity. Besides, would it not imp'y
that a girl did not have confidence in
the man to whom she was writing? If
she hesitated to trust to him her soul
put down on perishable paper, could
she dare to trust herself to his life
long keeping?

Astonishing part of it is that there is
a velvet border framing each dot. This

in a dot, a coin spot or an oval fig

cream at a time, rub the body thor
