SIX SIMPLE RULES FOR food LET

Or. Edward Everett HALE dovotos his
editorial page in the September number

He calls the attention Of his readers to
six simple rules that every one Will do
well to remember:
|. Know what YOU want to say.

?. t'sc your own language.
A. short words are better than long
ones.
&, The fewer words, tho better.
6. Leave out all fine passages.
AS one OF the Judges in a recent prize
l~ettcr-writing contest. DR.. Hale had an
exceptional opportunity of examining let
ters from over 10000 women. Many Of
these, he says. were ruled out ~ once
because the handwriting was not good.
The great hesetting sin, however. Of
letter writer's seems to be that they do
not know what thew want to say when
they begin their letter. and founder
about. to the disgust of the reader. until
they hit upon a subject. A few minutes
spent In thought upon n letter before
