THE DESCENDING SCALE

The first letter John ever wrote
to me, said a married woman to
her friend, was shortly after we had
become acquainted and before there
was really anything like an under
standing between US. This is the
way he signed it:
Yours, my dear Miss Weston,
most sincerely,
JOHN HAMILTON EASTON
There you see were ten words
enough for a telegram-just to
bring commonplace letter to an
end. But after we became engaged
his first letter to me was signed in
this way:
yours, my darling affeetionateIy,
JOHN.
THAT, you will observe, was a re-
duction of so per cent from his con-
clusion as a mere friend. The first
letter he ever wrote to me after we
were married was signed;
yours, JOHN,
She stopped for a moment and
sighed and then continued;
eve have been married seventeen
years now. Yesterday I received a
letter from him. Here is the way it
was signed:
