YOUR LETTER.
by EDWIN \. NYB.

YOUR LETTER.
How long has it been since you have
written a letter TO the old folks ut
homer
Do you realize what such a letter
means to father and mother7
Father will get It after the mail ia
distributed at the village postofice,
along with the county paper. perhaps,
and a circular. and he will know the
handwriting instantly.
He viii not open It.
Your letter is too precious for that
Your letter is more than an incident;
it constitutes an epoch. And father
will put it into his pocket carefully
and 60 home.
"A letter from John. mother"
Mother dries her hands and sits
down in her chair, while father gets
out and carefully wipes his reading
spectacles. And father begins
Dear father and mother"
That isn't much, to be sure. It was
the natural way for you to begin your
letter. But when father reads that
much be stops bit to clear his throat,
and a tear slides down the worn face
Of your mother.
Every word is read.
There are interims when they stop
to make exclamations or comments.
They even laugh heartily over your
crude attempts at humor. And so on
TO the ending
"Your loving SON"
Father holds the letter awhile and
after a time, at mothers request, reads
over again certain passages. And fnal-
ly, when they have talked much to
gether about you and the letter. father
puts it back into its envelope and lays
it on the mantelshelf
Is that the last of your letter, think
you?
1t is only the beginning Of It. It will
be referred to for days and maybe
weeks. And you. TO whom writing 1:
so easy, are you not ashamed Of the
long intervals between letters2
And, oh. my son or daughter. wher
you do write
DO not be afraid 10 open your hear
and tell the dear old folks all the love
you have for them. Give your feeling:
full vent. Make your letter odoroui
with the perfume Of your affection.
1 take it for granted you have moi
imbibed that shameful form OF snob
berry where you are ashamed OF the
mother who bore you or of the father
who fed you?
Well. then. write often.
Letters cost you but a trifie OF time
or effort.
To the old folks at home your letters
are worth their weight in gold.
A pinch Of borax stirred into fresl
milk will keep it for some time, anG
also prevent the cream from turnin.
