ING IN LOVE WITH LOVE
81 WHEN YOU WRITE LETTERS
6sunds Of Little Pink and Blue Notes That Go the
y Camps Are Born of the Spell of the Moon-The
Other Kind OF Mail That Lasts

all the little girls who write pink notes
and blue ones would get this in their
heads. War does many glorious
thing for a man: sometimes 1t revo.
lutionizes or rebuilds his character
But on the whole, 1t does not destroy
that in his makeup which likes sweet
tenderness in a letter. And. then. after
a while, when he has had enough, he is
willing TO forget about II.
LIVERY girl thinks her case is diff
T. ferent. 'I am not in love with love-
she says to herself. He is not in
love with love. Perhaps II was little
soon to have endearing things make
their appearance In the third or fourth
letter. But this is different. Just why,
of course, no one can tell.
Oh, but It isn't different. II only
we could all get together and trade
experiences. how very. very much
alike they would sound. But young
girls Of eighteen and nineteen will not
believe this to be true.
1t Is exciting to take from the post
man letter that will beat in answer
ing tenderness to your own. But. OH
girls, so temporary. There is letter
that goes on and on, though. Far
more interesting in the long run be-
cause it never fails you.
1t is the letter that comes in answer
to one that was newsy. bright and
sensible. A man can sit down and
write 1t any time. He never has to
think up nice things to say. Out comes
his fountain pen and the words that
flow are the kind that go to his pal.
If girl gets this kind of letter she
is nearer to the road that leads to
love than the night she hid the love-
liest letter of all under her pillow.

yard where horseless wagons stand. Mrs.
Ford knows how IT looks. She knows
every brick and stone in that tiny scrap
of the world. The tops of two trees,
thick and green. wave over the roofs, but
the patient exile never could see the
strong, brown TRUNKS. Children run
past the window, laughing and shouting
and are gone. She can see them only
a moment. and then they slip of into
