"He must be writing a diary letter," said Miss Annie to herself when, she received this message, "such as we girls used to write when we were at school." And, bringing down a little the corners of her mouth, she took from her stationery box what she thought would be quite paper enough to send to a man for such a purpose.
"She is a wonderful woman, to have written that successful novel," said Aunt Harriet, "and I am going to write her a congratulatory note, now you have bought that stationery at Tiffany's. I feel that such a subject demands special paper. She is a wonderful woman and her family have every reason to be proud of her." "Yes," said Annie.
Steinmetz looked grave while he unfolded the thick stationery. We are in great distress at Thors cholera, I fear. The fame of your doctor has spread to my people, and they are clamoring for him.

It fell to Winnie's lot to order many things from the shops stationery, mourning apparel, and house needs. These, my sister said, were ordered with the most perfect taste, but with a lavishness, which was indubitably unusual to Ruth Schuyler. The sisters exclaimed at the extravagance, but Ruth, though listening politely, serenely went her own way, and carried out her own plans.
It's the worst thing in the world for a young fellow just starting out to have a rosy view of the business world, which is composed of steady work and hard knocks, about equally mixed. You've got too much brains to work altogether with your hands; and one must find out what he is best suited to. How would you like to get into the book and stationery line?" "Very much indeed."
