Letter Writing.

Letter writing is custom or civil
liZed races. The more cultivated the
ture with him to attend to his busi-
ness and personal correspondence.
With individuals as with races IT is
largely a matter of custom and habit.
Some persons-you may know some
such--boast that they do not write
can get along without It? Some men
who avoid this irksome duty merely
shift the responsibility. Possibly they
are SO situated in business that they
are not required to attend to any cor
respondence. Social and personal let
ters they leave to their wives or
daughters or sisters.
1t is an interesting thing that the
more important man is the more
particular he is to attend to seem :
ingly unimportant correspondence. If
he does not have time to attend to
do it for him. The distingui shed
writer sees that every letter address
ed to him concerning what he has
written, whether it Is sympathetic or
hostile. receives courteous and suit
able answer. The poor or mediocre
writer often throws such letters in
his waste basket.
So the insignificant politician is
often delinquent about answering his
letters. He worries about letters OF
answering OF a dozen or so letters
as an enormous Undertaking. The
really able politician looks upon let
ters from both friends and enemies
as part of the days work. He values
them as an index of his popularity.
Even unfavorable letters he looks
upon as an opportunity to win ad-
herents, because he knows that II
he answers them courteously and
with sympathy he has done much to
make friends Of enemies.

Blouses Which Give Gay Color
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

Several things are interesting in
new fashions. One is the fact that
exclusive designers give their atten-
tion to clothes Of printed fabrics de-
spite the fact that conservatives cry
loudly for something plain, something
solid Of unbroken surface.
Another interesting fact is that
the insistence Of the French collec-
tons upon suggestions gotten from
their colonial possessions-Tunis,
Morocco, Madagascar and Cochin
China-brings red into prominence

be hot, If the reports from South
America are a guide to US. The read

parasol or kid shoes of red. for what
the sun did down there II may do here.
Nevertheless. red is here as a fash
ion. Not always in frocks or blouses,
but in bone buttons, braid. bindings,
pipings.
Still another interesting fact in
fashion is the prodigality dressmak-
ers show in using bands and bindings
of self-material or in an opposing
color.
They do all these things better on
blouses than frocks. At least, there
is less danger of destruction of the
individuals appearance in the small
er garment. A woman, knowing this.
will risk these new colonial French
ideas in a blouse and hesitate to in
corporate them in a gown.
The sketch shows a blouse intend
ed to give gay color to a white fan
mel suit which usually needs enljv-
ening. 1t is of red and white Chinese
printed silk. the design initiative of
tho Chinese alphabet Its edges are
bound with red braid and there are
red buttons at neck opening and on
sleeves. These short sleeves are care
1essly cut, by the way. They remind
one Of the helmet Of knight In a

Top of arm is shaped exactly like the
Nisored opening that shows the

that goes with the blouse is Of red
end white ribbon and straw with the
inevitable bow at the back.
There is no indication that Chinese
fabrics and designs will fall by the
wayside because of the popularity of
Egypt. France Is the spirited clothes

of wood for the fireplace. and here
and there are old oil heaters, dust
pans, ash cans and other dust-cov-
cred articles. l cannot bear to go
down there, yet there is no other
place for these things, including the
coal itself. How shall I manage to
secure an attractive coal cellar?'
Well, to begin with, the services OF
a carpenter( or good substitute IN
the way of a husband) will be requir-
ed. Build in along one wall a series
of bins to hold the different kinds OF
fuel you use. The woman referred to
in the earlier article used camel coal
in her fireplace alternately with wood,
so she had three bins in her cellar.
Just over each bin was an opening In
the cellar wall Through which the
fuel could be sent down a chute d.

showed the CRIME less quickly than
natural wood, but because the paint
tends to preserve tho wood In damp
weather-and q damp cellar! On the
black boards were painted IN clear
white letters the names OF the various

although these do not show In the
sketch. AS the coal or wood gets
lower in the bin, the top board Is
lifted off, then the second board, and
even the third, to make access to the
fuel easy. The boards rest upon each
other between grooves and are easily
removed.
Now, as to the Junk" that Is stand
ing around. Why not build In one
corner a cupboard or closet large
enough to hold the cans, unused
stoves and the like? The floor of the
cellar could form the floor of the
closet, so that articles could quickly
be dragged in or out.
There is no reason why q cellar
should not have its own kind of good
looks instead of being dusty, dis
orderly heap of fire materials, disused
Implements, cast-off iron and worn
out utensils.

Seeing Little Things.

Germs are as properly referred to
as little bugs" as they are as little
plants Perhaps they multiply rather
more rapidly than guinea pigs or
mosquitoes or mites and lack the
means or facilities for travel which
these higher classes enjoy. yet,
nevertheless, it is my judgment as
botanist that germs are as rightly
called animals as plants.
Not that it makes any difference
