When sorrow, in the form Of death,
enters into a home it Is the duty OF
every friend and acquaintance to con-
vey their sympathy and coincidence
to those who are sorely stricken. How
to do this adequately or how it should
be done is a matter of no little con-
sideration to those whose duty 1t Is
to offer consolation in some form OF
other to their sorrowing friends. What
form it should take is the first idea
that presents itself to the mind. To
send a wire at first sight is perhaps
the most direct way Of expressing
sympathy on the spur Of the moment,
but this only lends itself where long
friendship exists; under ordinary cir
cumstances it would not meet the
case. When this is resorted to, the
message is a brief one, and the words,
Deepest sympathy with your great
sorrow" or, Deeply grieved to hear
the sad news" or to still more intimate
friends the words might be added, Let
me know how you are" In fact, the
wire might contain any affectionate
message the sender might desire to
convey. Notes Of sympathy follow
these wires in due course, and in
writing them, sympathy should be the
keynote of every line, regret for the
one that has passed away, every kind
expression relating to him that can be
used, and every word Of comfort and
coincidence that can be thought OF
should be embodied in the note cal
culated to soften in some measure the
loss felt to the bereaved. The actual
wording Of these notes can only be left
to the writer thereof, but the fore
going will give an indication as to
what is most applicable to the circum-
stances Of the case. To send cards OF
coincidence to close friends would be
considered over formal, but in the case
Of acquaintances they are quite ap-
propriate. Visiting cards should be
used for the purpose, and the following
is usually written at the top of the
cards: with kindest sympathy and
coincidence" or with deepest SYM
pathy and regret" or with kindest
love and sympathy" These cards
should be sent by mail. In this they
differ from cards Of inquiry left during
illness. Cards to inquire after an in
valid or one who is dangerously i'll
should be left in person when possible
thus affording an opportunity to the
one inquiring todearn how the invalid
is progressing and whether there is
cause for anxiety or not. BY this
means the one calling is enabled to
judge whether it is necessary to re-
peat the call of inquiry at an early
date or whether it may be postponed
for few days. Grave illness would
necessitate the one being done and
progress toward recovery would rem
der postponment Of the call advisable
The usual words written at the top OF
cards to inquire are With kind in
quiries," or ITO inquire" as the case
may be. When the one inquired after
is married lady, and the inquirer al
so is married, the two cards should be
left, one Of the wifes and one Of the
husbands. When notes Of sympathy
are written it should be before the
funeral takes place, if possible, but
where this cannot be accomplished
then the notes should be written as
soon after as possible. Cards Of con-
dolence should be sent in a similar
who desire to condole are aware Of the
bereavement, and as a rule these cards
are very widely sent, perhaps because
it is often found difficult to write ap-
propriate notes of coincidence, or notes
that are altogether satisfactory to the
writer's. who are often inclined tc
think they have said too little or toe
