ceived, and there is a question
as to how it should be done,
and the proper wording. What
would you say? I mean what
type Of letter would you write?
N.
Your note of acknowledgment
Of this legacy might read
something like this:
Dear Mr.. Lane:
I have just received your
fathers kind legacy to me,
about which you graciously told
me sometime ago. I am deeply
touched by your fathers good
ness and generosity to me, and
by your interest and friendli-
ness concerning it. 1t is not
often that such a fine gift OF
friendship is made by an en-
ployer to an employe, and your
fathers kind thought of me
makes me very proud and very
determined to carry on" the
ideal and inspiration that he
gave to all who knew him, all
who worked with him and OBJ
served the grand way he lived
his life. I hope that in this
way, as we'll as the way in
which I tried to serve him
while he lived, that I shall in
some small measure deserve his
goodness to me.
Thank you again for your
courtesy, and all good wishes
to you.
Yours very sincerely,

try" said Richards. II trust you as friend" she

Notes Of Thanks

NUtCS UA 1A0AUAO
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have recently been in the
hospital and while there I re-
ceived many cards and bouquets
from friends. I thanked them
personally when they called to
see me. Is it necessary to show
my appreciation of their thought
fulneSs in any other way?
A READER.
Since you have already
thanked these friends personally,
it is not necessary to write them.
But still it would be a very
lovely thing for you to do, II
you are now able to write let
tiers.
Just a note OF a sentence or
two would make them happy
that you are such an apprecia-
tive person as to take the trou-
BILE to make this extra gesture.
Legacy
Dear Mrs, Beeckman:
Will you be good enough to
tell me what style of letter
should be written thanking for
or rather acknowledging a
legacy? The legacy has been
left an employe by his en-
ployer. The son is the exacu-
tor, and has notified the per-
son of the legacy. This was
done in person.
The legacy will have to be
acknowledged when it is re-

ACOUSTIC TROUBLE
IN.CATHEDRAL FIXED
Correction of Difficulties in Great
Choir Announced by
Bishop Freeman.

Correction Of acoustic difficulties In
the Great Choir Of washington Ca
thedral is announced by the Right
Rev. James E. Freeman. Bishop OF
Washington.
Explaining the new arrangements,
the Bishop this morning said: In
the Cathedral we have experienced
this trouble ever since the Great
Choir was inclosed temporarily for
public worship in 1882. Recent SCI
entiflc tests, conducted with the CO.
operation of the United States Bureau
of Standards, demonstrated that the
chief cause of the difficulty has been
a reverberation traceable to the re-
fection Of the sound OF the voices
from the temporary wall at the west
end Of the choir.
This wall or partition, 80 feet high,
has been covered with sound-absorb-
ing material four inches thick. The
immediate improvement in ability to
hear in various parts Of the building
has proved the correctness OF the
diagnosis.
"As the completed area Of the Ca
thedral extends, eventually it will be-
come necessary to install equipment
for sound transmission, but for the
present stage of construction, the
measures which have been taken will
make it possible for worshipers to
hear more readily and to enter more
heartily into the services"
