LINCOLN LETTER
Dear Penelope:
Don't be alarmed nothing serious
has happened! Two letters from me in
one week I know will be a shock to
your delicate constitution: however, on
the strength that joy never kills 1 will
venture the surprise.
Three distinct elements should be
present in every epistolary communica
tion: time, a postage stamp and some
thing to say. In my satisfaction in
possessing the first two named (iiali
lications I am reconciled to the absence
of the third, especially as tonight my
soul glows with the consciousness of
duty well performed I have mended
my stockings for Sunday morning! And
not only mended the holes, but darned
u spot where there was no hole at all,
but simply a thin place which looked
as if it might develop into one without
the application of a counter-irritant. I
have also mended my gloves did I ever
tell you about those old brown gloves?
Once upon a time, like the earth and
its people, they were very new. Hut
their days of usefulness have been
many: and through faithfully pro
tecting me from the cruel, cold
world they have grown old
and worn. Each morning I sally
forth with the holes neatly mend

ed: each evening they are carefully In
spected to discover what new leaks
have been sprung during the day.
Fortunately they were made of mixed
black and brown yarn; I am therefore
able to carry on my repairs with blae
darning cotton In the happy conscious
ness that I am not interfering with
the original color schemes.
A recent letter from a friend in your
city stated that she was the proud pos
sessor of four new llunnel waists. As if
to further remind me of my insignifi
cance she added that her mother had
remodeled two others so that they, too,
ueie as good as new. It seems to me
that a girl with six llannel waists must
be invincible. lTnder the strain of such
an experience I know that my mind
would give way. There is a grim sat
isfaction sometimes in seeing bow
many things one can do without. The
significance then is apparent of the re
flection of Socrates, who. after looking
into a shop window, naively remarked.
"How many things there are In the
world that I don't want."
I have not been to the theatre this
week. On Wednesday we are to have
the pleasure of seeing Blanche Walsh.
.May the fates grant us a line evening!
Lately the weather has gotten into a
habit of doing its most disagreeable
things on theatre nights. I believe I
must be a kind of living barometer. On
the rare occasions when the sun shines
and the wind doesn't blow I am so hap
py and amiable that the recording an
gel has to work over hours writing
down tldngs to my credit. When the
wind blows fiercely at night 1 am pos
sessed by a wild desire to go out and
commit murder. When Nature pleads
for sympathy with her wailing winds
and weeping skies. I want to either
commit suicide or get into bed and send
for the doctor. Speaking of doctors re
minds me of a young friend who has
added dignity to the medical profession
by his adoption of It. Endowed by na
ture and circumstances with unusual
advantages, he is now enjoying a meas
ure of success which usually comes
only after years of faithful service.

Karnest and sincere, with thatconstan
ij" of purpose which Is the secret of
success, there Is no limit to the possible
achievements of this young disciple of
Aesculapius. Most wonderful of all he
Is unspoiled by his popularity. It re
quires twice as much Innate great
ness to enable a young man to remain
unspoiled by success as It does to
achieve the success itself.
There has been a woman's rights
convention "in our midst" this weeK.
More literally Is was a woman's wrongs
convention, judging from the subjeit
of discussions at the various meetings.
While thoroughly in sympathy with the
suffrage movement, still I was Im
pressed by the fact that a little more
knowledge of parliamentary law might
be of use to the dear creatures w ho
hope to occupy positions of national re
sponsibility. One point of superiority
over the brethren was in tne pledging
of a thousand dollars In less time and
with fewer groans and bewallings than
would be required to secure one-tenth
that amount from an etpial number of
men.
I am greatly Interested in your ex
pel iments in telepathy. He sure to
keep me posted in regard to later de
velopments. Apropos I will tell you a
little experiment in thought-transfer-rence
of which I heard the other day.
A young man In college found himself
sorely In need of funds. Drawing on
the home bank for the sum of fifty dol
lars, he immediately wrote to his fath'-s-telling
him of the occurrence and ask
ing him to honor the demand. At the
identical moment that the young man
was writing the letter, the father, read
ing his paper by the kitchen fire, looked
up and said, "Mother, I wish you'd shut
that door I thought I felt a draft."
From all Indications, Penelope, I will
soon be compelled to both write and ai.
swer my letters if I persist in carrying
on this animated correspondence with
you. May I not have at least a line of
appreciation of my persistency In try
ing to secure a response from you?
Yours. ELEAXOi:.
