People . wrote in , the olden time Junius and Chesterfield and Bacen and ethers! Letter writing was expensive then, 'as it often cost as much as 40 cents postage te get a letter that had traveled from placte te place te find you, and because they were expensive, the old-time letter writers took care te make them worth something. New when letters go nation-wide for two cents, letter writing is becoming a lest art in its hurricdncss. One scribbles and cresses sheets and makes the reader cress also. Old-fashioned folk keep up te their training when expectant of reply, by enclosing an addressed, stamped envelope. Hew fortunate arc these who held te their geed, old habits! It still holds geed that the shortest letters are always read first, except This little corner juece should be better than it is, come te think of it, for the newspaper owner makes us pay full rates for each word!
