THE SALT LAKE HERALD, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY L. 1906

In this case Ruth's letter was dis
appointment. A good plan before one
begins is TO glance again at the letter
received and note the particular points
that should not be overlooked IN the
reply.
A third suggestion concerns ones
correspondents. A school girl ought
not to engage in letter writing about
which her parents and friends are in
the dark. For instance, Adeline con-
suited me the other day about the pro-
priety OF corresponding with a boy
whom she casually met at her Cousin
DIS when spending a day there last
summer. He seemed d very nice
boy" she said, "and I liked him Ysey
much. Now he is at the university and
has written to me and wishes me Co
write TO him. What shall I do?'
The thing for Adeline or any other
girl to do in this instance Is 10 show
her boy friends letter to her mother
or teacher. and be guided by the advice
given her. Ny own would be simply
to answer such a letter very politely
but to explain that I was too busy to
engage in a correspondence. A girls

letters to boys should be limited to
members Of her own family, to the
cousinhood, and perhaps to somebody
whom she has known all her life. When
you meet q person accidentally and
only for a short time, you do not know
him well enough to write to him or re-
ceive his letters.
A fourth bit OF counsel concerns #
self with the dress of q letter. I do
hope you girls write a legible hand.
Whatever else handwriting may be, it
is a failure If 1t is difficult to read.
Such little things as correct spelling
and punctuation are very important.
Misspelled words are as unslghtly as
ink spots. and dashes do not take the
place of commas and periods. Write
plainly, spell correctly. A good quail

Indispensable IN the correspondence of

OF have made an engagement TO skate
with your brother and his chum at 4
O'Clock. you will hardly be able to write
a credi+able letter II you give yourself
only five minutes to do it In. A girl
needs a sense OF leisure and a spare
half hour in which TO write the letter
that shall carry something of her real
self to her distant friend, or her anx-
ioUs mother, miles away. No compli-
ment is conveyed by frantic haste. De-
eide what you can do and what you
can omit and get a little clear space
and unhurried time before you begin a
letter, Next. always answer a letter
as soon as you can after you have
read it. 1t is then fresh in your mind,
the questions it asks snd the news 1t
conveys are alike full of interest to you.

more intelligent manner of dating what
we write at the top of the first page.
Do not write in q haphazard way all
over your paper, so that it is as bad
as solving a puzzle to find out where
the next page begins. Sign your let
ter with your full name, no matter to
whom you are writing.
Never write a letter to anyone which
would give you uneasiness or disturb
ance should it fall into the wrong hand.
Write as you talk, the more naturally
the better. Stilted, high-f1own letters
are not welcome anywhere. In old
times people began a letter by saying:
AZ take my pen in hand to write you q
few lines, hoping that they will find
you in good health, as I am now
