Hills Manual
Social and Business Forms

To enable the individual to write with ease
and to do the right thing in the right place in
many of the important positions in life, is the
object of this book. . The result sought to
be accomplished is to combine both a
knowledge of penmanship and it's application in
the written forms which in most general
use Added to these are the chapters on col
lection of debts parliamentary rules etiquette
and other departments of action helpful
in the gathering of news for the press, in
of capital letters selection of visiting cards,
notes of invitation, etc. BY the lady, much will
be found in a Manual of this kind that will
particularly serve her in writing her social
forms and give her that delicate and
beautiful penmanship which pleases the eyes
does fine music the ear. The mistress of
the household will find here the form of testi-
monial suitable to be given the servant upon
his her departure to seek a situation else
where. The mother will find the written eX-
to the teacher for the non-attendance of
her child at school, the servant the form of
letter when applying for a situation; and the
bashfu, bushinG maiden, the cautious, carefully
worded letter that will aid her in giving ex-
preston to the hitherto closely guarded secrets
of the heart. The sign painter has daily use for
a reference book of this kind, arranged and
adapted, as 1t is, to the comprehension and
wants of the knights of the pencil and brush.
