DECLINE OF LETTER WRITING.

The art Of letter-writing, like that
OF reading aloud, seems to have Ions
ago gone down into the mysterious
recesses Of the past. There are sev
eral ways in which it might be ac
counted for. though none seems great
enough to prove that this is an art
that should be lost The newspaper
has made the average personal letter
practically useless as news medium
the next great aids are the telegraph
and telephone. These have proved
quicker disseminators of news. so the
letter has become merely a purveyor
OF personal gossip and ideas.
Not only are letters less newsy now
than long ago, but they lack the neat
ness and care that were always hall
marks of the epistles of the best write
ers in other days.
A day or SO ago the Spinster came
iii on the car on which postman soon
clambered With his mail pouch. This
trusty employe of Uncle Sam proceed
ed 70 sort out the nail as he rode up
town. and as he spread the letters out
on the seat beside him the Spinster
marveled TO see how many were ad-
dressed with a pencil and wondered
if the inside did not bear the same
helter-skelter kind Of penmanship
and untidy smears. And yet it was
from the post boxes = nica resi-
dence part OF the City hat he had col
lected his letters.
