PERSONALITY IN
LETTERS NEEDED
Speaker Tells Credit Men
Business Notes Cold.

Breathe personality into your letters
if you want them to win. If the average
credit man would be natural when he
dictates his letters he would be a 100
per cent better correspondent" said Fred
Mills. director of promotion of the Cham
Der of Commerce, at the regular weekly
luncheon of the Indianapolis Association
Of Credit Men, this noon, at the Clay
pool hotel.
THE usual letter is as cold as ice
and as 'punchfur and human as piece
of cheese.
place yourself in the other fellows
place.
write to him as you would want him
to write to you. If you want to convince
him that what you want him to do is the
best for his interests.
Most firms would seem very selfish If
you judged them by their correspondence
"They need to get the you idea. "

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
= BY DAVID CORY.

One morning as Puss Junior was
tramping along a country road he met
Simple Simon going to the fair. / guess
everybody was going to the Fair that
beautiful morning. for the road was
crowded with wagons and carriages Of
all sorts.
There were farm wagons full of merry
boys and girls, and bu=gies with old
people in old-fashioned clothes and high
carts with gaily dressed ladies ami men
in red coats. And. oh. dear me, how
dusty it was. But Puss didn't mind
that, for he was used 20 travelling, and
a good traveller doesn't complain.
Well, he and Simple Simon had nearly
reached the fair grounds when a man
with a big tray~of delicious pastry came
up. "Pies, piesi" he cried, and when
Puss Junior and Simple Simon looked At
them they felt very hungry. Oh, my
yes!
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman,
Let me taste your ware.
Said the Pieman TO Simple Simon,
Show me first your penny;
Said Simple Simon 10 the Pieman,
Sir, I haven't any"
But l have" cried little Puss Junior,
and he took a gold piece out of his
pocket; and after that they both had
all the pie they could eat. And when
they had finished, Puss said: rs there
any custard on my whiskers ?" for he
had eaten custard pie, and apple pie,
and peach pie. and plum Pie, and lemon
pie; and so had Simple Simon.
. And then said Simple Simon lis
there any on miner" which made Puss
laugh, for Simon didn't have a single
whisker, for he was only a boy, you
know.
you've got a big smear Of raspberry
on you chin" said Puss Junior. And
after that they went into the fair
grounds and looked at all the funny
sights, the fat woman and the thin man.
the giant and the dwarf, the dreadful
skeleton man and a two headed COW,
and all the other queer sights.

INDIANA DAILY TINES THURSDAY JULY 8, 1920

IN great glee we purchased a blue vase
full Of red dahlias and wild yellow
"baby orchids" But when l came to
write the card there, maliciously, in my
own handwriting these innocent-looking
words stared up at me:
with loving greetings to Virginia
and Phoebe from Barbara Anne and
Neal"
But that simple message put into
words the dividing line l hated to recog-
ufze-on one side the Harrisons, on the
other Barbara Anne and Neal" Two
families-my husbands and mine Vir-

day that she didn't regard me as her

With a heart the heavier, because It's
pain must be hidden from Neal, I left
the florist shop to which we had SO
gaily gone and walked home again
through the early darkness. When we
got back to the apartment Neal began
TO tumble about the room a bit rest
lessly.
''Do you think Jim will be home
soon?" he asked
I understood His ardent youth hated
being confined to our little apartment.
He had given me of his best In a high
tide Of boyish- Devotion but now he
wanted to get out and have a little fun

remembering my husband had said the
agent was going to show them the apart

"T'm not going to leave you, Babbsie, >
declared Neal, slipping his tie a bit
tighter in unconscious preparation for
going out. even as he spoke.
Nonsense, laddie! You know I
haven't had n minute with Jim today,
and it would be almost a Kindness
Then, in great relief at this legiti-
mate excuse for doing what he desired,
Neal seized his hat and came. and gave
me a bear hug, crying:

paving of roadways and repairing old, $75O600. 1t

One of the principal causes of the wretched condition
of the streets is the neglect in making prompt REPAIRS
