"I've been reading someof the love let
ters the newspapers have been printing of
late," begins Brlghtslde, as his owl-like
offspring drifts In to unllmber the daily
chatter.
"As long aa you don't write any Jove let
ters you'll get by," replied Son, sinking
into the easy chair and igniting the In
evitable "coffin nail."
"It seems amazing .what remarkable
things women and men write' to each other
when they believe they are In love," de
clares Father, apparently somewhat shocked
by the revelations. .
"You never can tell what a pair of mush
heads will do when they get to the goo-
goo stage," comments Son.
"I suppose they would be more careful
if they thought the missives might ever
get Into print," suggests Father.
"Not on your tintype," asserts Son.
"The worst of It Is that most of 'em really
believe It when they pipe out the dope."
"Most of the letters that I have seen,
strange to nay, are those Indited by men,"
Father remarks In amazement.
"There's no use talking, when us yaps
start dreaming we go the limit," retorts
Son, with an air of pride. "Whether we
mean It or not. we toss off the chunks of
hot air Just like a real hero in one of Laura
Jean's classy little thrillers. And they fall
for It, too, and call for more."
"Men who' deliberately falsify to gain a
young girl's affections," Father sternly
asserts, "deserves all the unpleasant noto
riety that can happen to them."
"Here's a gink's letters in this paper
now," continues Son, "and he starts out
one 6t them by calling the girl 'My Dear
Little Slob.' She had a right to know then
he was kidding her along."
"Perhaps the poor young thing believed
he was merely jesting when he used that
coarse term," surmises Father.
"It was a Joke all right." admits Son,
"for according to the papers In the breach
of promise suit for fifty thousand bucks he
kissed the skirt goodby as soon as he saw
another little dame with brighter lamps."
"I fear men are fickle creatures after
all," mourns Father.
"It's got so nowadays," complains Son,
"that a chap can't write notes to a skirt
aud not feel sure that she isn't stacking
em up in a safe in case she wants to bring

a damage suit If he decides her brand of
complexion doesn't agree with him."
"Letter writing in the good old days used
to be one of the finest arts," deplorei
Father.
"If a fellow wants to tap off a few lines
on his typewriter to a girl now, and net
have 'em come back and sting him like
an adder, he's got' to be all there with the
art and then some," says Son. "Great
chance for some enterprising chap to pinch
off a chunk of cush by writing a book on
love letters, guaranteed to protect a man
from breach of promise suits."
"Truly, the world is becoming more and
more commercial," observes Father. "Why
don't you try your Xand at It?" he adds.
"I think I could put a few across, at that,
that wouldn't come back," Hon replies.
"How does this one listen to you?
" 'Oh, you Kid: I am sitting alone to
night. 'In ' my $2 furnished room, thinking
noble thinks of you ant others. If I had
the price to take you down to the seashore
I do not think I would be sitting here alone
tonight 'In my room worth two bucks. No,
indeed, I would be listening to the briny
billows roar, If you would go with me.'
"Now that," explains Son, "Is my Idea
of the Btyle, of letter to be addressed to a
skirt a fellow's fond of, but not enough to
hurry out and buy a marriage license. Of
course it could be carried along for a
couple . of pages on the same lines. You
will notice there Is no definite i ronilse In
any sentence for which she could sue and
get real money." -
'It suis to me a romantic girl would
not be very nuich Impressed with that kind
of a letter' comments Father.
'Then, your llttKa Willie's love letter
writer Is a success, exclaims Son. It s
what' you don't say In a love letter that
counts when the case comes up In court.
There's only onaj way to make love, and
that's to deliver the goods in person."

Before I went Mary told me I would have

After I had returned I hitched him up In
