a man, on the other hand, should be
addressed by his title if he has one, as
Major General Green" DR.. Brown"
etc., or. failing handle to his name,
as Mr.. George Robinson" or George
Robinson, ESQ" In England this latter
form is always used except in address
ing tradcspeople, but in America MIR"
is more often used. and is regarded by
many as the most sensible title.
Letters of Introduction.
One of the most puzzling things to
many people Is to write letters of intro
duction. This is task which falls
more often TO man than to a woman;
but there come times in the life Of al
most every woman when she would like
10 give such letters to intimate friends
TO present to her acquaintances in dis
tant cities. She should then write
short note something like this:
Sunset, Colorado.
My Dear Mrs. Blank:
This will introduce TO you Miss Mabel
Smith. an intimate friend of mine. who
is about 10 visit New York for the first
lime, and Is consequently a stranger in
the city Any attention which you may
extend to her will be gratefully appre-
ciated by
Yours very cordially,
Mary Brown.
January :. 1904.
Letters OF Introduction are never seal
Ell by the person giving them; and. il
they are not business letters, but sim
ply friendly letters like the foregoing
arc rarely delivered in person, but are
sealed and sent by the recipient TO the
man or woman to whom they are adj
dressed. together with the card of tho
recipient, on which is written her city
address. And. IL you should receive
such a letter OF introductions from a
friend, you must call without delay upon
the person introduced to you by letter.
There is another kind or letter which,
unfortunately, falls to the lot of most of
us to write, and that is a letter OF con-
dolcnce. People with the warmest hearts
and the very best intentions in the
world often dread incSpressibly duty
OF this sort, and, after putting it off
until the last possible moment, turn out
a stiff and stilted note that inadsertcnt-
ly wounds the sensibilitics Of those
whom it is intended to comfort.
Letters of Coincidence.
A letter Of coincidence should be short
and simple. In a few heartfelt words
let your correspondent know how sorry
you arc for tho great loss he has SUI
fcred. Don't harrow already over
wrought feelings by too familiar allu-
sions TO the deceased. Such a letter
should be sent shortly after the funeral
has taken place. Letters of coincidence
are always answered. either by the re-
cipicnt ar by some relative or friend who
kindly undertakes the task Tor the grief
stricken une.

HINTS AS TO CORRECT CORRESPONDENCE
How to Address Envelopes and Begin Notes

intimacy is greater, Dear Mrs. Brown"
would be the way to address her. II
il becomes necessary 20 write to an abb
solute stranger, the full name should be
first written on one line and directly un-
der it, little to the right. Dear Mad
anne" or Dear Sir as the case may
be. Thus,
Mrs. John NJ. Brown,
Dear Madam
would be the proper salutation.
Letters to tradespeople are generally
; written in the third person, something
like this: Mrs. John n Brown, 10
Prospect Terrace. Glenville. New Jersey,
would like Smith, Jones & Co. 10 send
her immediately six bottles of their best
salad oil by express. Inclosed find
check for the amount"
1t goes without saying that the spell
ing of all notes and letters should be
absolutely correct. II you are "a little
dubious on this score-and some of our
brightest people can never seem to learn
TO spell correctly-buy a small, mex
pensive dictionary and keep it in your
desk TO consult whenever you are in
doubt
Whenever you start a new subject, be-
gin a new paragraph. &c careful of
your punctuation. Put periods at the
end OF your sentcnces-of course, begin
ming each new sentence with a capital
and, if the sentences are long or at all
involved, set off some Of the dependent
clauses with commas.
The Signature.
woman should sign her letters and
notes Cordially yours" or Yours sin
cerely" when writing TO friends and ac-
quaintances; 10 relatives or very init
mate friends she usually signs herself
Yours afectionately'' or Yours with
love" or something Of that sort A man
is generally Sincerely yours" or Faith
fully yours" No one should ever sign
her name with its title, Mrs. or Miss,
unless il is put in brackets before the
name: and even this is allowable only
in writing to an absolute stranger, who
otherwise might be puzzled how TO ad-
dress the reply.
Postage should never be incIoged for
reply except in notes or letters that are
strictly business communications, and
then it must always be put in IL a reply
is requested. But In all social corre-
spondence It is considered rather an in
suit TO inclose return postage as the
expense is so slight that our friends are
apt to resent having 1t sent to them.
The Proper Address.
1t Is considered very bad form TO adj
dress u wife by her liusband's title thus,
letters TO the wife of a general should
never be addressed Mrs General
Greene" but simply Mrs. Greene or
Mrs. James II. Greene" The titles,
General Judge Doctor belong
exclusively to the husband. and not to
the wife.

cereal OF some kind to the baby's

or barley or oatmeal is the best one
to use. When making these gruels it is
much casier to use the four than the
grain. Barley cruel is made by rub
bing up one tcaspoonful OF the -four with
a little cold water, then stirring this into
a pint of boiling, water, adding pinch
Of salt and boiling it fifteen minutes: it
should be strained II at all lumpy. Oat
meal Cruel is made in the same way,
only using two teaspoonfuls of the flour
instead of one.
If it is impossible to obtain the -four
the grain may be used, taking two table
snoonfuls of the barley, OF three of the
oatmeal, and allowing 1t to soak in cold
water over night. The next morning
add one quart of cold water and boil
steadily down to one pint, for about four
hours. then strain through muslin.
Cruel should be made fresh each day
and kept on ice. Use barley Cruel un-
less the child is inclined to be consti-
pated. and then use oatmeal.
The Proportions.
Some doctors strongly advise the use
Of a substance which will convert the
starch in the gruels into sugar; in cases
of a delicate digestion i think 1t is wise
10 use one of these substances. but in
the case of ordinarily robust children
it seems to me that they do Just as
well without any such aid to digestion.
The proportions of milk. Cruel, etc,
often used for the third month are as
Follows: Skim from oil the top of a
quart bottle of milk the upper six ounces.
tiien pour off SIX more ounces, making
twelve ounces In all; now add twelve
ounces OF boiled water in which are dis
solved three teaspoenfuls OF granulatcd;

Mr. Komura produced the documents in
which Russia was asked first whether she
really intended to withdraw from Man
churia, as she had promised and permit
all nations to have freedom of commercial
intercourse, as guaranteed by China. He
also produced the Japanese request to the
st. Petersburg government to say whether
Russia would recognize the sovereignty of
the emperor of China in Manchuria even
while the Russian occupation should last.
The answer from st. Petersburg, Mr.. Ko-
mura showed. was statement that the de-
mand of Japan was inadmissible-that the
empire of the car declined to reply as to
it's relations with China in respect to Man
churia. On being pressed in three other
formals~ommunieations to say whether
Manchuria would eventually be returned to
China, St. Petersburg had answered by de-
manding from Japan statement that Man
churia was outside her sphere OF interest
and had followed this by pouring troops into
the territory.

mura showed that in June, 1904, Russia had
absolutely promised in writing to evacuate
Manchuria that her evacuation consisted of
building new forts. In pouring in additional
troops and in sending out warships. But
he held that the Russia government had
lost it's own case in attempting to place the
responsibility Of the war In the letters from
Count Lamsdorff through Japanese Minister
Kurino, asking for the erection of buffer
state between Manchuria and Korea. in
which state Japan and Russia were to agree
not to have any men under arms. or what
purpose could be this neutral territory, the
Japanese envoy asked, II 1t were not the IN
tention of Russia to take Manchuria and
hold 1t up to the Yalu river?
In this buffer state, as laid cut, were sew
eral magnificent harbors which would be Of
great strategic value in the event of war
between Japan and Russia, and yet had this
been agreed to by Japan Russia, with her
warships in the Gulf of Korea and her army
on the bank Of the Yalu, could have seized
and fortified those ports so as to prevent
the landing of troops from Japanese trans
ports.
All the case, Mr.. Komura Insisted, proved
that IL Japan had not gone to war at once
for self-preservation she would have had
little opportunity to win on land or sea q
few months later. Three days before the
declaration of war several Of Russia's most
famous generals were speeding east on the
trans-Siberian railway. and four days ahead
Of them were four regiments OF infantry.
