THE HEADING.

+_Parts_+.--The Heading consists of the name of the +_Place_+ at which the
letter is written, and the +_Date_+. If you write from a city, give the
door-number, the name of the street, the name of the city, and the name of
the state. If you are at a hotel or a school, or any other well-known
institution, its name may take the place of the door-number and the name of
the street. If you write from a village or other country place, give your
post-office address, the name of the county, and that of the state.

The Date consists of the month, the day of the month, and the year.

+_How Written_+.--Begin the Heading about an inch and a half from the top
of the page--on the first ruled line of commercial note--and a little to
the left of the middle of the page. If the Heading is very short, it may
stand on one line. If it occupies more than one line, the second line
should begin farther to the right than the first, and the third farther to
the right than the second.

The Date stands upon a line by itself if the Heading occupies two or more
lines.

The door-number, the day of month, and the year are written in figures, the
rest in words. Each important word begins with a capital letter, each item
is set off by the comma, and the whole closes with a period.

_Direction_.--Study what has been said, and write the following headings
according to these models:---
