PASSING OF THE LETTER.

1t wasn't SO many years ago that people
when they went to Europe laid in an i'm
mense supply of onion paper, planning to
send back home the biggest letters possible
under the postal rate.
Now however a picture post card of Yer
sailles, hurried line Feeling fne-BiIp'
followed by the date numerically expressed,
is the extent of the Partisan correspon-
dence
tits rather the fashion to deplore the pass
ing of the fat letter of yesteryear, cross
ed and criss-crossed with soul-outpourings
Certainly letter writing is lost art-iust
as the old commonplace books, filled with
important nothings are obsolete-but this
| indicates no mental falling off, It is due, as
everything else is due, to changing con-
ditions.
The magazine half tones, the moving pic
| lures, the newspaper, the telegraph have
made us as well acquainted with Europe,
Asia and Africa as we are with our own
country. In fact it is not an exaggeration
to say that we know more about the Tower
of London than we do about the town hall
understand the economic condition of
France more thoroughly than we do the
primary law, and are, conversant with the
Russian ban on vodka but are absolutely
ignorant of the national prohibition move
ment in this country.
Any letter from Europe therefore would
be worse than carrying Goals to Newcastle
In rapid age like this, when there is SC
much to do, and above all so much to read
all correspondence must necessarily be cut
down. The penny post and the typewriter
have multiplied letter writing by thou
sands; brevity is the only offset to the extra
press of epistolary correspondence.
After all a post card, if it tells you tina
your loved one is somewhere or other, anc
that he is well, is as good as twenty pagt
missive, which you would have to read a
odd moments during the day It's hi
thought of you that counts-not hi
thought of the scenery.
