What Splendid Beeks of
Letters Distinguished .
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!
Many thanks for many kind appreciative
letters.
