Six Simple Rules
for Good Letter Writing.


DIR. Edward Everett Hale devotes his
editorial page in the September number
of the Woman's Home Companion to
the subject of Letter Writing
lie calls the attention of his readers to
six simple rules thar every one will do
we'll 10 remember
t. Know what you want to say.
, Say it.
3, Use your own language.
I, Short words are better tltHu long
ones
;. The fewer words. the better
&, Leave out all fine passages.
As one of the judges in a recent prize
letter writing contest. DIR. Hale had an
exceptional opportunity of examining
letters from over 10000 women. Many
of these, he says, were ruled ont at
once because the handwriting was not
good.
The great bcsetting sin, however. of
letter writer's seems to be that they do
not know what they want to say when
they begin their letter. ami founder
about, to the disgust of the reader, until
they hit upon subject. y few minutes
spent in thought upon letter before
you begin to write will enhance its in
tercst to the reader many fold.

learn to Shake Hands.

one does not need to grasp the hand in
a death-like grip, but there is something
about a good handshake which is the 81
lent interpreter of a welcome. \ person
possessing great deal of personal mag
uetsm may just take your hand in his
and the cordial welcome is recognized
without even SO much as the slightest
pressure of the fingers. Others may have
goot. grip which is more like Il clutch.
There is no set rule for handshaking I'M
less a person bears in mind that hand
shaking must be Il feeling expressed with
the hands and not the eye or voice If
only done through Il matter of form.
there is no earthly use of shaking hands
at all Strong intuition serves Il great
many persons. and to grasp Il cold, clam
my hand which lies like piece of mar
