A letter that leaves a sting should
never be written. There IL a great
temptation to say smart things In a
letter. They sound 80 nice to you,
when your typewritist leaves the
completed letter on your desk. But
how do they sound to the other iel-
low? All the smartness has oozed
out before the missive reaches him.
Only the ugly brutality remains.
Read the letter over; admire 1t and
yourself; read It to your clerk. to the
Office boy, to the cat, II you must
show 1t to some one. Then tear 1t
up. and write another. State your
case as fully as you wish, and as
strongly as 1t will stand. You can
do all that and still he polite and
friendly. Make no threats. Use no
taunts. Keep out bravadO and blus-
ter. Don't he an ass.-StOlen.

raw ~hty ShtSs
The new woman" has been exploit.
ed and discussed, both pro and con,
so extensively that the world is rath.
err familiar with her now. 1t has
found that because she is inclined
little toward athletics she is none the
less woman; that because she has
developed somewhat the practical
side of her nature she is none the
less charming as a feminine enigma;
that because she is a little more indie
pendent than in the good old days OF
the "clinging vine" she is even more
fascinating. People can become &C.
customed to anything. and the new
woman has probably come to stay.
The world is now admitting that the
active and enthusiastic young girl on
the links, climbing the hills or dash
ing pell nell along country byways on
horseback is much more admirable
than the trembling, cringing young
parlor plant of the elder day.
But there is one feature to the new
woman idea that is so decidedly at
variance with the popular conception
of womanhood that the world has not
yet accustomed itself to the change
There is a very manly movement on
the part of a portion of the fair sex
which is affiliated with the Woman's
Club Federation that is somewhat dis
concerning to most men and must be
positively frightful to most women.
There is a disposition to question
woman's right-her divine right--to
finery. 1t is now claimed that elegant
attire Is expensive; that plain clothes
are just as warm and do just as we'll
Now, really, isn't that becoming
just little bit too practical? Who

been demolished because they were
deemed too cheap-but too expensive,

taught the world to look upon the
woman as a peacocl-radiant, proud,
and beautiful. And through all the
changing years from Egypt and Rome
down through the dark ages and on
until today the mind Of woman has
turned toward clothes. And we are
glad of it. There is nothing in crea,

in protest against this rather unusual
movement OF the Federation Of Wom-
ans Club.-Terre Haute Star.
