An interesting letter from Mrs NJ S.
z. reads:
TOO many persons think that the only

It is Of q real letter 1 am speaking-the
letter that is jolly friendly, sympathetic

guilty Of beginning with I now take
pleasure in letting you know or I take
my pen in hand but some Of the faults
we indulge in are no less tnexcusable.
There is the girl whose letters fairly
bristle with sure did, She sure is and
1t sure was,' until we mentally vow to
never again be sure OF anything.
"We all know the woman who writes
only when she feels blue or when she
has bad news to tell; her letters tenn.
porarily dampen the most joyous spirit
"And the man who is never so much
hurried as when he is writing letter.
His excuse haste does not make up for
what his very unsatisfactory letters lack.
without being aware Of it, he insults his
friends. For he could wait for an hour
of leisure, which even the busiest of us
have, to write his letters.
But the most aggravating of all cor
respondents is she who never by any
chance answers ones questions. We ask
her advice in regard to a matter Of the
utmost importance to us. and then wait
with what patience we can for her an
swer, which, by the way, invariably is
slow in coming. When it finally arrives
we tear it open and run through It, only
to find not the slightest reference to our
query. Why go on? All of us can recall
scores Of similar instances.
"A bright, joyous letter has the same
effect on one as has n chance meeting
with a sunny-faced, jolly friend. And it
is not even necessary to be a brilliant
convorsationalist IN order to turn the
trick. The mostIooliedfor letters I receive

But I'm another instant sanity came back
to me. I knew instinctivcly that Harry
Underwood was not an honorable man. HIS
own wife, careless and rough, and displeas-

womanly kindness to warn me against nm,
saying he imagined himself in love with
every new face, and that he would probably,
as she expressed 1t, make violent love TO
me at every opportunity

TO my great relief he dropped his mock

HAVE YOU EVER ENCOURAGED
THE JUVENILE BEGGAR?
Criminal Parents Who Teach Their Children to
Live by Their Wits Growing in Number.

TTTITILE the professional beggar is seen
w less frequently nowadays than he was
ten or fifteen years ago, / have noticed
an alarming tendency on the part of little
boys. supposedly selling papers or candy
on the street to beg" one approached
me the other night and mumbled some
thing about few pennies; never a word
about his papers. These we're tucked
under his arm and probably carried just
for effect.
One hates TO refuse n child like this,

effect of success in this particular ven.

'the world owes him living and to

Der of society.
A correspondent who has evidently had
a similar experience writes me:
"Has modernlzation banished such com.
mendable and endearing traits in child
hood character as modesty and pride?
Are many children the victims of lack
of moral strength?
Scarcely a week ago, while patiently
waiting to have my wants attended to in
the candy shop OF one Of the largest
stores in town, experienced most dis.

ther augmented by an occurrGLce of an
hour later. A little girl approached me
as l was about to leave and said in
uanner noticeably lacking in timidity,
Lady, will you buy me some candy"
had observed the child gazing somewhat
wistfully at the confections and was
thoroughly startled by this display Of an
abGence of maldenly pride Then quite
suddenly I was overwhelmed with this
idea-with what facility any one could
persuade that child to accompany them
anywhere. Incidentally, did not buy the
candy
About an hour later as mother and
were purchasing tickets for a movie two
boys confronted me. and the more loqun
cious Of the two said, Lady, take us in?'
"Those three children, not possessing
the wherewithal to indulge in little lux
uries which they desired, without a blush
had resorted to begging in order to sati-
ate those unnecessary but very normal
desires.
I'm all probability, If their much-wished-
for pleasures had been provided their
success would have been an inducement
to the continuance of such actions and
might have appeared as an appreciation
of this unwarranted beggary. And yet
conscience troubles me not a little for
what a stony-hearted individual might
have seemed to them.
sonally under the circumstances? Would
you have acquiesced to their wishes and
created still greater desire to obtain
luxurles and necessities sans physical ef-
fort in the future, and thereby provide
an incentive to repeated begging, or would
you have refused their childish pleas and
in so doing openly discouraged the means
they employed to secure these frivolit!es?"
