EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
EOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN.'BY ONE
OF THEM.
What shall we do with our letters?
This is a question which each of us
asks many times each year, and to
which we cannot find a satisfactory re-
sponse.
“Burn them!” says one promptly.
“It is the only thing to do. ' They are
of interest to the receiver only, and
life is too short to spend in reading old
letters.
When you are dead and gone some-
one, for whoseeyes they were never
ment, will read them carelessly, and
then light the fire with them. It is
better for you to dispose of them now. ’
The; common-sensible sides of our
natures tells us that this is all true, and
we; decide to follow our practical
friend’s advice. But when we kick at
the; sheets covered with some dear
familia'r‘handwriting our hearts fail us.
One by one we pick up the letters,
and-as we do so try to see this tender
epithet, that loving word. When we
have gathered up a whole larmful of
them. and start with them toward the
glowing grate we look at them just
once for the last time.
And then our courage breaks down,
and we close our arms passionately
around the whole bundle, and the tears
come to our eyes, and we exclaim:
“They shan’t be burned 2 They are 'too
dear I”
I SO they are returned to the box
whence they were taken—the dear
letters from lover, husband, friend,
father, mother—and the box is sent up
in the attic, and each year it is pushed
alittle farther back under the caves,
and the paper yellows, the dust settles,
the omnipresent mouse gnaws the love
words and other and newer letters
come and take the places of the old ones
that are forgotten by he1 who could
not burn them.
Still, if they were once more brought
down to the daylight; and the owner
were asked to destroy them, she would
again Iefuse.
Business letteis and letters from
mere acquaintances no sensible person
istempted to keep. Some people are
even courageous enough to burn every
line that is ever written to them.
But, as a rule, a woman remembers
that the time may come when the hand
that is the dearest on earth to her Will
be forever stilled, and when the words
penned by that hand will be unspeak-
ably deanq
So we end as we begin by asking,
“What shall we do with our letters 2'”
