]y[arthaLee Her Column

The art of letter-writing has changed greatly in thè past ten or fifteen years. The delicately-penned, lengthy epistles which once passed froni friend to friend are missing now. The busy housewife, thè hurried business man, and thè “dated-up” debutante will not take time for more than a few linea to their most intimate friends. Long-distance calla take thè place of many lettera. Telegraph wires are kept hot with messages that once would ha ve gone through thè malia. And now—what a shock to our st ictly proper great-aunts:—typewrit-ten social lettera are beginning to be accepted as “correct.” The reason for their acceptance, ’tis said, is that they are much easier to read than lettere written in long-hand. The reai reason, of couree, is our desire to save as much time as possible. Dear Miss Lee: I am a stenographer in a downtown office. Beeause I use a typewriter so much and find lt easter. eometlmes l write social lettere on thè typewrlter. Another stetsographcr and 1 had an argument and e want you to settle it. She said it a breach of etiquette to use thè typewriter for anythinc but business ' corre spondence. but I said you can use it for other lettere, too. Will you please teli us which was nght?—STEXOGRAPHER Typewritten social lettere now are •‘accepted.” But it is best to send them only to friends and to write lettere to acquaintances and people you do not know in long hand. The reason for this is that thè acceptance of thè typewritten social letter as correct is so recent some people stili consider it a breach of etiquette. And people are judged by their lettera. Dear Miss Lee: There is a boy about 18 years old whom I love. I hare loved hlm alrr.ost four years. but he tìoeen’t seem to care much about thè girls. He did seem to ■ are about me two or three years ago. but not noe as he use! to. My heart is nearly fcreaking orcr that boy. He is a nicc-looking boy His name is Krancis. What would you do iì you were I to show thè boy I love him? Yet it seems as if I would not care if he would take another girl home freni thè show or any place else, as thè case has been.—Jt'ANlTA H. If I were you. I should do nothing to show thè boy I loved him. It is quite evident he wants girla as friends. but is not worrying about lov,ing them for a while. Be friends with thè boy, but don't try to make him love you. and I feel sure he will like you much better than if you ‘‘ran aster” Ijim. Although you do not teli me your age, I imagine you are about thè sanie age as thè boy. I hardly think you have been really in love with him for four years, as you say you have. But even if you think that! now is thè time to stop thinking about love and to think about friends for a year or so to make up for lost time. Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl 22 years old. I am in love with a man just about my age We have b-n going together for about a year. He has never told me he loved me. but I ani sure he does. He is earning a pretty rood salary. fcut he supporta his mother. Now Miss Lee. I work. too. and I make plenty of noi ey to support myself. I would be willing to work alter I was marned. if 1 had to. I think this man would ask me to marry him. but he is too proud to ask his wife to work. and he would have to wait a few years. until he was earning more money, before he could support both bis mother and a wife. He is a fine man. There is another young man who Comes to see me whenever I let him. He wants me to marry him. He has plenty of money. But I do not love him. Do you think I could say anything to thè j first man to show him I would be willins- j to work to help him? Or that I would j wait for him? Or do you think I ought to co ahevl are marry thè other maa anyway?—\NXTOrS I Of course you should not marry one j man while you are in love with an- ! other. You could never be happy that way. I do not think it would hurt to help thè other man along in his eourtship. if his pride will not permit hlm to .-peak' You are not so very old, so a year or two of waiting would not hurt. I think it would be better for thè man to "get on his feet” before marriage than for you to help support thè family. Then you could help out anyway But don’t marry too soon. You seem sure that thè man will sucreed and
