This is the day of secretaries. In the larger
cities lady receives as many as three an
nouncements in one mail from fully equipped"
socially experienced" individuals or companies
offering to take her social correspondence off
her hands. Some agree to call every morning
to take dictation.
The uniformed wonder how much equip
ment and experience enters into the calculations
Of these professionals, if they think that COR
respondence can be conducted through third
person. Business of course philanthropy and
formal invitations; but are any Of these COR
respondents?
In the days of public scrbes letters were
written to convey news; illness, marriage, and
inheritance were, and still are, expressed for
the illiterate at price. Correspondence-that
is, communication at distance between two
people who wish they might be talking together
used to be limited to the fortunate in edu-
cation and wealth.. But for just about GEN.
fury the world has known cheap postage and
general education.
Now that every one may write, few want to.
Postcards move across the country carrying
minimum Of words and a maximum of pic
lures. Time and effort are no longer expended
by the writer or enjoyed by the recipient.
Letter writing is fast becoming a lost art
Sometimes one doubts If this generation will
leave behind any correspondence worthy to be
saved for posterity. Commercial secretaries
and postcards will not duplicate the letters Of
Swift and Vanessa, Nine. de Sevignes and the
Plinys.

the Postal Telegraph company. His
son obtained control Of commercial
cables and last year the federal

The Mackay system extends two

system in this country connects
with the CsSadian Pacific Railway
telegraphs in Canada and with the
Mexican system. Through the Com

seven cables between Europe and

tell me if my eyes will ever become

Answer: If the operations were
really successful your eyes should
gradually become less bulgy. Ths

have taken to cure your goitre will
also be partially effective now. II

in different individuals and there are
many in perfect health who become
dizzy or even seasick from any slight

of anything that will correct this
condition.
