THERE Is NOW NEW STYLES IN
LOVE NOTES.

How shall a girl write a love let

Evening Mail. When someon puts
such a question to you it Is like a tot

must present a reflection Of the one
who writes them. l cannot write your
low letter. You cannot write mine.
The simplest expression of yourself
is worth a thousand fine phrases from
someone else. Still, as in making an
angel cake, while the finish product
may be different for each person who
mikes 1t, there are certain dainty
rules to follow.
A. love letter is a written kiss.
When sincere it is, as friend Brown
Ing puts It, the sum OF all good
things" Yet love is the easiest of all
emotions to express.
A child shows It's love by laying a
tiny bunch OF flowers in your lap. A
schoolboy gives his teacher a e ap-
pie. A sweetheart sends a book of
verses to his lady, or bonbons or a
rose. A dog can make love by laying
his bone at your feet. A pussy a
brings you a precious mouse.

if modern times and modern thought
have evolved the modern novel, the
modern play, the modern standard If
woman's work, we must naturally

have the modern love letter.
Just as the antique ideal of
womanhood called for a helpless,
pretty, submissive and unusually
brainIess person. SO the old love letter
was a thing Of rapturous praise and
adoration-the floral ssence OF the
words.
1T dealt mostly with the admira-
ton of each loved n OF the others
grace or charm or willingness to die
in the cause of love. The stabler
things. the wish to live and struggle,
were scarcely touched On.
The o~Id-Fashioned Letter.
THE damsel never questioned her
sweetheart's ability to conquer the
world through his bravery and gen.
ius. The sutton made no inquiry as to
his fair ones fitness for wife and
motherhood He never sought to learn
whether she could broil q steak or
manage finances.
Now. 1 say a modern love letter
should bear some relation to the
practical things of life. 1t can be
just as much a love letter. More, in
fact. 1t can contain hints of service
not be a mere seafoam OF pretty
fancies. 1t can be an ernest OF ones
desires for development, not happi-
ness only.
Twill a man be less delighted with
a letter that says:
Dearest was thinking today as
l heIpeS mother with the sewing how
I shall make our home beautiful with
frilly white curtains and ~cretonnes
and cushions and simple, comfortable
things!
Nor will be think her mundane if
she writes:
Oh! my darling, I love you so that
l want to help you every way l can.
Your interests are mine. Your ambi-
lions are my own. / am learning a
lot about household economies, dear.
Some day I'll be writing a book about
them and then you will be proud of
me.
Men Still Like Praise.
Men will never cease wanting the
old sweet praises IN more than girls
will. For praise and tribute are the
ssenc of a love letter. But mix
them with something sincerely sensi-
BILE. something that shows you view
of love is not confined to being loved
and petted."
Mrs. Williamson stopped abruptly
and began making tracings with her
muffin fork on the tablecloth. She
is a sparkling little woman with
cheeks of English pink and one of

make a whole face beautiful.
