see you both but as I say it would be
better if you let me come to New York where you and father will
be ever so much more comfortable.
Your loving daughter,
JEANNETTE.

LETTERS FROM PARENTS

THE same familiarity may be observed by parents when corresponding with
their children, with, of course, the addition of a certain amount of
dignity commensurate with the fact that they are, as it were, in loco
parentis. The following example will no doubt be of aid to parents in
correctly corresponding with their children:

A Correct Letter from a Mother to Her Son Congratulating Him on His
Election to the Presidency of the United States

DEAR FREDERICK:

I am very glad that you have been elected President of the United
States, Frederick, and I hope that now you will have sense enough
to see Dr. Kincaid about your teeth. It would be well to have him
give you a thorough looking over at this time. And Mrs. Peasely
has given me the name of a splendid throat specialist in New York
whom I wish you would see as soon as possible, for it has been
almost a year since you went to Dr. Ryan. Are you getting good
wholesome food? Mrs. Dennison stopped in this morning and she
told me that Washington is very damp in the spring and I think
you had better get a new overcoat--a heavy warm one. She also
told me the name of a place where you can buy real woolen socks
and pajamas. I hope that you aren't going to be so foolish as to
wear those short B. V. D.'s all winter because now that you are
president you must take care of yourself, Edward dear. Are you
keeping up those exercises in the morning? I found those
dumb-bells of yours in the attic yesterday and will send them on
to you if you wish. And, dear, please keep your throat covered
when you go out--Mrs. Kennedy says that the subways are always
cold and full of draughts. I saw a picture of you at the "movies"
the other evening and you were making a speech in the rain
without a hat or rubbers. Your uncle Frederick was just such a
fool as you are about wearing rubbers and he almost died of
pneumonia the winter we moved to Jefferson Avenue. Be sure and
let me know what Dr. Kincaid says and tell him EVERYTHING.
Your LOVING mother.
P. S. What direction does your window face?
