half-sheet is always used, but it is printed for that
special purpose. Crossing your pages is positively an
insult. Some ladies write across the proper way, then
turn and recross, until it would need the patience of
the famous Job, to decipher them. The writer remem-
bers, when a girl, of receiving such a letter from a very
dear cousin. It was crossed and criss-crossed in
every conceivable direction, and in so fine a hand
that it rivaled the intricacies of a spiders web. It is
needless to say, that to this day the contents of that
letter are unknown to the recipient. It awoke the
same feelings as expressed by a hero of a novel, who
says—in speaking of a similar infliction—Give me
any other torture than this, to read a womans plaid
letter. Paper that is thin or full of specks, is untidy
and cheap looking. So are blots, erasures and inter-
lining. Long letters are only welcome to friends who
take deep interest in us, and even there Brevity is
the soul of wit, for few have the rare gift of writing
