The Signature consists of your Christian name and your surname. In
addressing a stranger write your Christian name in full. A lady addressing
a stranger should prefix her title--_Miss_ or _Mrs._--to her own name,
enclosing it within marks of parenthesis, if she prefers.

_+How Written+_.--The Conclusion should begin near the middle of the first
line below the Body of the Letter, and should slope to the right like the
Heading and the Address. Begin each line of it with a capital letter, and
punctuate as in other writing, following the whole with a period. The
Signature should be very plain.

THE FOLDING.

The Folding is a simple matter when, as now, the envelope used is adapted
in length to the width of the sheet. Take the letter as it lies before you,
with its first page uppermost, turn up the bottom of it about one-third the
length of the sheet, bring the top down over this, taking care that the
sides are even, and press the parts together.

Taking the envelope with its back toward you, insert the letter, putting in
first the edge last folded. The form of the envelope may require the letter
to be folded in the middle. Other conditions may require other ways of
folding.

THE SUPERSCRIPTION.

_+Parts+_.--The Superscription is what is written on the outside of the
envelope. It is the same as the Address, consisting of the Name, the Title,
and the full Directions of the one addressed.
