A letter is talk upon paper, and it
is not as easy to write what you
have to say as it is to tell your story
in. spoken words, because when you
talk your audience is before you, and
you can adapt your words to it, while
when you write you do not see the
receiver and may not know him,
The mail is the most important
public service institution in the
world. Without it more than local
business would be impossible and
there would be no economical meth
cd of interchange. The letter.
whether it be of business or social
purport, is in many respects the most
important of documents, playing its
part on every field of endeavor.
The effective letter-writer is in de-
mand by every business house. Few
attainments tend more toward pro-
motion.
Ninety per cent of all business let
tiers are crudely written, poorly ex-
pressed. and not likely to be per
fectly understood. l am aware that
it is well-nigh impossible to write a
letter which will be as ineligible to
the receiver as it was TO the sender,
and that neutrality-suspicious. are liable
TO occur; but there is a vast differ
ence between a letter clumsily put to-
gether and one which is written in
good English, which makes its point
plain, and holds the attention OF the
reader.
/ should advise every young man
and woman, in business or about to
enter it. to study letter-writing as
carefully as he or she takes up
bookkeeping and stenography. 1t is
an invaluable art and furnishes its
possessor with definite and positive
business asset
The question naturally arises. What
shall l do to become a good letter
writer?

Getting a Start NATHANIEL NATHAN R' {. FOWLER
LETTER WRITING

I do not propose to furnish
shortcut rule for success in this di-
rection; but, briefly, should say to
the would-be letter-writer: First,
learn good English. Practice express
sion. Know how to spell. Under
stand the fundamental rules of gram
mar and of construction. Then study
good letters. Read the correspond
ence of your firm, if you are permit
ted to do so, particularly those letters
which come from successful houses.
Get in tune with them, so TO speak.
The average book on letter-writing
will be of some assistance to you,
provided you do not copy verbatim.
II is better for you TO get the prin-
ciple of letter-writing than to absorb
definite forms OF letters.
One method of attaining pro-
hciency in this line is to write let
ter. rewrite it, and continue to re-
write it. attempting to improve it
each time.
Very likely you have some friend
or acquaintance who is proficient in
letter-writing. Ask his assistance.
Above all do not establish any def
mite rule for letter-writing If you
do. the result will be STACEY and set.
The effective letter not only makes
its point. but it does it in an easy,
fluent way. 1t tells its story, wheth-
er il requires one page or a dozen.
Brevity is to be encouraged, but not
at the expense of clearness.
You cannot learn to be a good
letter-writer as you learn book
keeping and stenography. II is not.
a concrete art. Proficiency is OBJ
tanned only by experience, by coming
in contact with that which is good,
and by learning to discriminate be-
tween the good letter and the poor
one.
Do as the sailor does who would
learn to handle his vessel. He keeps
on the water. even though he may
tumble into it. To learn to be a
good letter-writer, get into letters.

GRANDMoTHER's SAMPLER

Why is II that. samplers have gone out
of fashion? Think what an incentive
they were to small fingers to do neat
work and how anxious little folks must
have been to learn new stitches SO that
they might have many and varied ones to
show upon the piece ornamental that
was afterwards to be framed and hung
upon the wall. for the inspection OF all
the relatives for miles around
One grandmother who has numerous
little girls among her grandchildren has
started all of them over five years old to
making samplers. What a good-natured
spirit of rivalry existed among those lit
tie women! Each one is trying to out
do the other. and quite a few OF them
show marvellous aptitude for stitch
cry. The mothers Of the children who
play with these grandchildren are be-
ginning to adopt the idea. and now many
of the children in the neighborhood are
as industrious as the proverbial busy
bees. AS each sampler is finished, il is
to be framed and hung upon the wall
Of each child's living room. where all
who see may sing its praises. and you
can believe that there will be as few
crooked stitches as possible hung for ex-
hibition.
The grandmother who first revived the
samplers allows her little ones to rip out
their stitching once IL II isn't quite salts
factory. or they may practice a certain
stitch upon another piece Of material
before attempting it upon the precious
sampler. IL they wish. The sampler may
be quite large or quite small depending
possibly upon the age OF the child, and
the stitches may run from plain hem
ming to intricate embroidery stitches.
BY all means follow that wise grand
mothers example and let the little folks
have samplers. If you have but one lit
tie girl, why not get the permission of
the mothers of some neighboring little
girls and start them with your own childe
Competition is the life of trade, you will
remember, and so il is an electric in
centive to good work Of all kinds, even
to the stitching Of samplers by tiny
fingers.
