The appearance of a letter Is Important. There should always be a margin of at least three-quarters of an inch on the left side of the sheet and this should be even. The first word of each paragraph should be indented about the samo distance as the width of the margin. Paragraphs in an ordinary letter should probably not have more than one hundred or one hundred and fifty words. Otherwise the appearance is heavy. White paper is always good form,.

colored paper should be very care fully chosen if selected at all. Envelopes should always match the paper on which the letter was written. A good blue black or black ink is always in good taste. Legible writing and neatness al ways add to the attractiveness of a letter. When writing a friendly letter always have in mind the interests of the person to whom you aro writing.

She ran Inside. A few minutes later the rain came down m torrents. Her moth er came into the house looking worried. "I wonder where Richard " she said. "He started off for a walk. I've called him and called him." - i,, Florence looked up with frightened eyes. "Maybe he went out walking through the woodlot. Maybe he's standing under a tree." And trees get struck by lightning.

Oh! Oh!" She started frantically toward the door and only her mother's restraining hand kept her from rushing out into the storm. "I thoright you didn't like to have him around," said Mrs. Pritchard, but Florence was watching the road from the window. The storm was at its worst when the back door opened and in came Richard, rubbing his eyes, sleepily. "Gee, it's sure storming," he said.
