Letters of coincidence are always
proper, no matter whether to person
living out of town or in ones home
city. A card with the word "sympa-
thy" or ito inquire" left at the house
of mourning is always good form, for,
of course, only the nearest and dearest

letters and deeply appreciate all who.
have thought of them in their sorrow.
Letters of congratulation are always
acceptable, enhancing whatever the
good fortune may be by sharing with
ones frienus. The good book says
rejoice with those who do rejoice and
weep with those who mourn" or words
