Like punctuation. the art of builti-

merely copies those in the'l1ltll1\1l1l
ting up lier own letters, that when
she takes tier first position she is sub-

her employer because the letter looks
as though it had been written in ral!-
tlme! Why not take a perse-nal ln-
terest in every letter you write, no
that you can be justly proud ol its ap-
pe-araiice when it is turiied over to
your employer for lils isigiiature? With
