Much has been said In the newspa
pers of late concerning the Importance
of preserving old letters. The Indiscre
tion of relatives and friends In laying
bare private matters has caused tunny
a man and woman to burn manuscript
ncctiuuilatlons of great value. A recent
Instance illustrates the usefulness of a
single old letter In certain circum
stances. After the death of one who
had occupied almost the highest posi
tion In the national government , a
lawyer wrote to n friend of the do-
censed statesman , asking If she had
nny of his letters between certain
dntes. An effort to set nslde the will
because of the testator's alleged weak
ness of mind was afoot. The woman
returned n half-dozen letters full of
humor , keen observation and common
sense. One Included the statement , "I
nm making my will , and endeavoring
so to draw It as to leave no loophole
fcr litigation. " As the attorney for the
opponents of the will came to this sen
tence In the letter ho spread out his
hands. "I shall toll my clients. " he
observed , "that their efforts are entire
ly futile. "
There was agitation recently among
certain transient residents lo two or
If
' --t-T"1
- -
three States which nre notorious for
easy divorces , when It became known
that the Supreme Court of the United
States had pronounced Invalid two di
vorce decrees procured by the migra
tory method. The cases before the
court Involved several points , and the
laws of more than one State were un
der Interpretation ; but the court clear
ly alllrmed the principle that , to make
n divorce decree valid , there must be
actual residence of the person to whom
It IH granted within the State where It
Is Issued ; also , that what Is called "con
structive service" of the proceedings
upon the absent party , by publication
In the local papers , Is ; iot sufficient.
These decisions do not establish now
principles , but they give the sanction
of the highest tribunal to interpreta
tions of the law already made by State
courts. In several Instances , persona
who have acquired a brief and ficti
tious residence In anot'her State for the
purpose of getting a divorce have af-
tcrwuid been convicted of bigamy In
theStntcof their real residence , In spite
of such decrees. The national Consti
tution declares that each State shall
give "full faith and credit" to the Judi
cial proceedings of every other State ,
but the courts of Massachusetts , New
York and some other States draw the
lllie at divorce decrees proem cd else
where by Btealth and by fraudulent
practices. The action is well , HO far as
It goes , and the Supreme Court deci
sions fully sustain 1L ; but there can bo
no real and lasting reform of such
abuses short of uniform divorce laws
throughout the country , and n rigorous
enforcement of them In the Interest of
society and public morality.
Ida Ilustcd Harper replies In the In
dependent to a recent article by Mr.
Flnck In which he contended that wo
men should not seek work In offices and
factories unless driven by poverty to
do so. Mrs. Harper has the better side
of the argument and she handles her
logical weapons with skill. She holds
that Mr. Fluck's Idea would place a
stigma of poverty oil every fcmlnlno
employe and would raise higher the
old and pernicious barrier between the
working-woman and her more favored
sisters. To the complaint that 45 per
cent of the employes In the factories ,
are women , Mrs. Harper replies
pertinently that far more than 45 per
cent of the work now done lu factories
has been taken directly away from the
women In the household. The women |
who spun nnd wove at home a century
ago must now go to the factories to do
the same work. The charge that men's
wages have been lowered by the entrance - '
trance of women Into Industrial pur
suits cannot be proved by statistics ,
for these show that men's wages arc
higher than ever before. If wages were
placed again at their old figures , nnd
If 4,000,000 women now engaged In
bread-winning employment were with
drawn nnd set down In the home , the
results would be disastrous. It would
mean not only Idleness and privation
for the women , but also additional la
bor and sacrifice for the men , who
would have to support them. It Is
rather late In the day to contend that
the gainful occupations should be mo
nopolized by men and that women
should bo restricted to the household.
Probably women would bo more willIng -
Ing to do household work If all men
were willing to pay their daughters ,
sisters , and wives definite and adequate-
wages for the work done In the homes.
Financial independence Is ns sweet tea
a woman as to a man. Mrs. Ifarpei1'
touches upon a vital point In saying1
that when women must nsk for every j
dollar required for clothes and other
necessities and often grudgingly be
stowed they naturally ga/.o with long
ing eyes Into more fruitful fields ufi
Inbor.

When you are trying ta make a com
pany a conversational success al
ways avoid a rattling liveliness
on your own part. Don't Imagine that j
to be a clever woman you must be a
wit. If you are natuially witty , well
and good ; It will crop out occasionally.
But If your wit is forced , It degener
ates Into mere affectot'on , nnd affecta
tion Is fatal. Your main object Is to
make yourself Interesting without be
ing obtrusive to keep yourself In the
background while you dhect the gener
al conversation. It Is a wonderfully In
teresting accomplishment. You learn
to note the slightest change In facial
expression. The quiver of an oyolld
or the movement of a lip tells you a
story. You see pleasure , anger , in cr
est , dislike , whcie another detects no
thought. Your own mind acts more
quickly ns you appreciate the thoughts
of others. You have the pleasure of
feeling that your acquirement Is not
wholly selflsh , for It gives you the
power to understand the reserved , and
to put the shy at their ease.

Life at the best Is hard ; let us them
do our best to make It as easy as pos
sible for others. \ \ c each seek Imp- v
plness for ourselves , some in the form A
of wealth , some In that of social dis
tinction , but one and all have some
special goal before them which appears
to them to havu the power of making :
life desiiable. Let us by all means try
to encourage all lawful and worthy .
ambitions of others ; but tlmt may or
may not be In our power , and In any
case It Is not on that subject that we-
desire to dwell , but rather on the lit
tle courtesies of life which arc within
the reach of us all.
Courtesy , s as much a Christian duty
as honesty. We have no more right
to spoil a neighbor's life with the
thorns of sharp speech and rough raau-
ner than we have to take the money
out of his pocket.
Gentleness and courtesy are the best
of accomplishments ; they grow and"
brighten by daily use , and the keeping :
of them for strangers and company la
revenged by our own deterioration and
Increasing vulgarity. People seem to
forget the absolute duty of gentle and ,
polite speech. It ought to be super-1
fluous to say that every question , '
whatever Its nature , should receive a
civil reply. The man who takes no
notice when addressed by mother , ,
wife , child or servant , is a churli while-
he who makes a nod or a grunt serve-
the purpose of a few courteous words ,
Is a boor. The woman who "can't bo
bothered to answer , " or who snaps out
short replies In the tone of an irritated
terrier , when her nerves are upset , ,
and only members of the family hap
pen to be present , Is a shrew , even If
eho bo generally considered a refined * T
lady. '
There are many men and women'wlicff
show their good breeding by giving-
their very orders in the form of re-
quest. "Please" and "Would yon.
kindly" figure largely In their speech ,
even In their intercourse with servants
and children , and the result Is that
they are served with willingness and'.1 '
enthusiasm , where others would at the-
most receive grudging obedience. It'
was related the other day of one of
the most popular generals that the
great secret of his power with hismerji'
was his courtesy. With him It is nev
er "do that , " but the command is-
turned Into a request by the preflu
'
"please" or "will you , while the cour *
ieous "thank you" is never forgotten *
for any service rendered. This officer
is no carpet knight ; on numerous fields
lie has shown that he is a lion In ac
tion , yet even in the stern and grim.
realities of warfare , he linds time for'
o mrtesy and the men appreciate-
and arc grateful fgr It , so that there IB
simply nothing that they would neb ,
do for him. h
