CONGRATULATION" AND CONDOLENCE.

The writing of letters of congratulation or condolence often presents itself as a task of some difficulty, and one that we are inclined to put off unduly. It is easier to rejoice with those who rejoice than to weep with those who weep

over successes which would gratify the whole of humanity. The inan who inherits a fortune, who wins the Derby, or who receives the Garter, is certain to find his writing tabla snowed under with letters.

But not always is the letter a congenial one to write. On many occasions there. is aly in the amber of happiness. An engagement may not give satisfaction to friends and relations. Someone we are fond of may, bo marrying someone we particularly dislik-The recipient of an honour may not have earned it in the eyes of the world. A seventh daughter may arrive in the place of a looked for son.

The motive, also, with which the letter is written docs always give satisfaction to the recipient. Some people merely write for the conventional reason that they feel it is expected of them; others because they want something theinselves. A desire to stand well with the successful is often the driving power that prompts congratulations, and, in a worldly sense implies a compli ment. But it is safe to say that the letter which gives pleasure is the one which springs from affection and is expressed with sincerity, it is those qualities which give it charm and make it treasured.

Where they are absent the letter had best not be written. If it is imperative that it should be,, a formal intimation of pleastire is all that remains possible. Such letters are hardly worth the sending or the receiving. But a genuine one is deeply valued and probably kept. Often it u the occasion of hearing from a long-for- gotten friend or acquaintance.

If the letter of congratulation is much easier, the letter of condolence is more needed. important, because it is more Many people often hesitate over the writ ing of this. Indeed, there are some blows dealt by Fate to humanity for which, seemingly,

Those who have not suffered, a deep sorrow may think that they would rather be left alono under such circumstances." That is not the common experience of those who know the aching blank leit by a bitter grief.

A safe rule is, when in doubt whether write or not to write.

The intimate note should always be struck, whenever possible. Often a letter from an old friend may recall to memory some forgotten -in- cident of bygone years.
