IX: MISS ANNETTE WESTBAY.
When we consider how import- ant letter-writing is in almost every sphere of life, it is the more amazing that so seldom is it done wall. We speak of the person's "address,” ruferring to general | deportment in life, and a letter should convey some idea of this when an interview has to be con- dacted on paper. The bead- writing of literary people is notoriously bad, though heaven only knows why it should be, and I suppose there are even yet those who consider it rather distinguish- led to scrawl. Poor handwritting is sometimes an infirmity of the flesh, and may be overlooked, but the way in which some educated people put their letters together is altogether unpardonable.
It is a natural gift with some people to say the nica thing nice- ly, but probably we could all acquire it" with a little practice. Some things which have to be said in a letter require very care- ful wording, and in such cases it is always advisable to make a rough draft. There is an old pro- verb which compares "news from a far country" to "cold water to a thirsty soul," and the right sort of letter is really refreshing to the receiver..
