STATIONERY STYLES.
What Is Considered Good Form In

Ii persons are known by the company
they keep, woman Is certainly judged
by the kind of note she writes. Sloyen-
illness of any kind, vulgar stationery, in
correct expressions will do much toward
making her thought to be underbred and

as green, purple. blue, yellow or the like.

ordered Certain neutral tints are per-
missible, and usually one or more are es-
pecially in vogue, as gray. that is IA
vorite now. Blue also Is popular, but 1t is
not crude shade, rather an indeterminate
kind. Plain white paper is seldom seer
now, merely as a matter of fad, but It -
always permissible.

the thing than a smooth. but rough edges
are never TO be used A plain cut should
never be varied from.
Colored inks cannot be called good form.
although purple has been In use for so
many years that it must be recognized as
having a place all its own. Stub pens and
consequent broad lines remain more fash

nibs.
Highly scented note paper is considered
one of the greatest evidences of bad breed

For short notes, where only a few lines
are necessary. correspondence cards have

On these. as on note paper, the monogram
is in the left upper corner. and the address
now goes in the right corner. Should only
the address and not the monogram be
used, it is laced in the top center. White,
gold and silver remain the best colors for
stamping, and blue is the only other shade

In writing notes, If it is necessary ito go
to another page. the whole sheet should be
turned and the writing continued on the
fourth page. thus making II possible to
read the note by turning it and without
opening the paper. This has become so
general that even in letters the fourth
page is written on second, and what would
ordinarily be the second page becomes the
third, and the third is used for the fourth
Any appearance of haste is inexcusable
in a note. and all numbers should be writ
ten out, including the date. To sign a
nickname Is not good form, and for a
formal note the writer's entire name
should be signed.
