--AGeldlQe Anne Proctor.
TAM In receipt of a letter from a
young man who complains because
the girl he loves, and who has
confessed her love for him. addresses
him in her letters as My Dear John"
He thinks she should a least call him
Sweetheart"
And undoubtedly she does-in her
heart, and in his ear, many, many
times, and her refusal to put the word
in black and white doesn't indicate a
cold heart, but q remarkably cool head
No one expects the love he gives, nor
that which he receives, to ever turn
cold. That is the charm Of loving! The
firm immovable belief that at last two
| hearts have met that neither time nor
eternity may estrange.
1t is the one supreme experience in
! life when one does not credit fallibility,
Laboring under this hallucination. low
ers say such things, they do such
things. they write such things, as were
! never said, nor done, nor written be-
fore.
They forget that many things out
I'VE love, and among its many sur
vivors is The Written Word. look. a
word. a sigh too often, something so
!
an end to love, but The Written Word
goes on.
Burn this makes no imprint on the
| brain Of the one receiving the letter
The furnace is away down cellar, and
the letter is thrown carelessly into
drawer, to be lost, or hidden. but never
SO completely that Ii dQcs not work it's
way to the surface a the time when
! It's appearance would cause the great
est embarra Ssment.
The ferVor of love letter depends
solely ON the Imagination of the one to
whom 1t is addressed. so why put in
Bears and Darlings when. if the re
cipient is doubling. there is sure to be
one too few, or if the recipient Is trust
ing, the word Is inserted many times
where il is never written?
The ink bottle should be regarded
! with as much fear as a loaded gun, for
in the hands of the thoughtless it car
ries IA charge that is as deadly. One
should approach it in a cool, dispas-
sionate frame of mind. remembering
that the condition Of ones mind and
heart today may not be the same to-
morrow, and that The Written Word
never dies.
1t takes the poorest of ink so long to
fade | hope this young man will realize
| that In having a sweetheart who APP

such sayings as that Of George Sand
that nothing is such a restorative as
rhetoric or the claim advanced by n
