The Whys and Wherefores of Correspondence

In ancient days no one traveled, and there was no business, therefore no need of letter-writing. When Mr. Cave·man was hit with the wanderlust and decided to see what was over the hills, Mrs. Caveman had no hope of consolation by mail and simply had to wait patiently her spouse\u27s return. However, as wanderlust became a more prevalent disease those at home began to receive slabs of bark·and stone from the wanderers with their adventures pictured on them. These crude missives in turn gave way to strips of parchment covered with hieroglyphics of a more or less legible nature. We owe our alphabet and much of our language to the ancient Greeks and Romans. It was they also who brought letter-writing into more common useage and developed many of the forms we use today

Mirrors - Antique to Ultra Modern

When in New York one always spends considerable time wandering thru the shops and stores, making small· purchases here and there, but principally feasting unaccustomed eyes to the splendor and magnitude of the lines of goods on display. In one of these huge stores is an entire floor given over to pictures. They are all there, the ones you know, and the ones you do not know.

The walls are completely covered with mirrors, large and small, each reflecting and re-reflecting lights, and mirrors until you seem to be in an endless palace made of myriads of lights
