1: Dear Sirs, I enclose
cheque for 30/- Subscription for Maga commencing August 1924? and trust you
can forward the magazine to the above address, (address missing) until I can
give you a permanent one. I have read many appreciations of Maga, as
reproduced on the cover?, etc. and have often intended to add mine, for what
it is worth. I have been taking the the? Magazine for ten years (through W.
H. Smith & Sons, etc. at home, having only just left Hyland?) and during the
war, to secure my copies intact, I took it in duplicate. I was serving
in Palestine & Syria, and, in spite of the trials of heat (particularly in
the desert?) and long marches, there were always a large number of men of
all ta? in my Company who would volunteer to jettison food or clothing to
carry a copy of Blackwood's Magazine, which circulated there? for many a
month. In fact, I have known men, arriving in hospital from the line, found
to have preserved in their kit a copy months old, which had been through
many hands after leaving mine, and when I myself was wounded, the copies I
missed receiving were taken care of for me, because it was known how highly
valued they were. These facts were perhaps somewhat passé, nevertheless
speak for themselves, and if I add that to miss Maga would now be quite
inconceivable, you will understand that I have forwarded my Subscription to
insure regular delivery, which might be jeopardised if I ordered it locally
here. yrs sincerely - card enclosed with cheque 30/- (no card, name or
address)

4: Secret Instructions to Young Men Thinking of
Marriage. Select the girl.
Agree with the girl's father in politics and the mother in religion.
If you have a rival, keep an eye on him; if he is a widower, keep two
eyes on him.
Don't swear to the girl that you have no bad habits. It will be enough
for you to say that you never heard yourself snore in your sleep.
Don't put too much sweet stuff on paper. If you do, you will hear it read
after years, when your wife has some special purpose in inflicting upon you
the severest punishment known to a married man.
Go home at a reasonable hour in the evening. Don't wait till the girl has
to throw her whole soul into a yawn that she can't cover with both hands. A
little thing like that may cause a coolness at the very beginning of the
game.
If, while wearing your new summer trousers for the first time, you should
sit down on some toffee that little Willie has left on the chair, smile
sweetly; remark that you don't mind sitting on toffee at all, and that "boys
will be boys." Reserve your true feelings for future reference.
If, on the occasion of your first call, the girl upon whom you have
placed your young affections looks like an iceberg and acts like a cold
wave, take your leave early and stay away. Woman in her hours of freeze is
uncertain, coy, and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good-night in the house. Don't stretch it
all the way to the front gate, and thus lay the foundation for future
asthma, bronchitis, neuralgia and chronic catarrh, to help you to worry the
girl to death after she has married you.
Don't lie about your financial condition. It is very annoying to a bride
who has pictured for herself a life of luxury in her ancestral halls, to
learn too late that you expect her to ask a bald-headed parent, who has been
uniformly kind to her, to take you in and out of the cold.
Don't be too soft. Don't say: "These little hands shall never do a stroke
of work when they are mine," and, "You shall have nothing to do in our home
but to sit all day long and chirp to the canaries" - as if any sensible
woman could be happy fooling away time in that sort of style.
A girl has a fine, retentive memory for the soft things and silly
promises of courtship, and occasionally, in after years, when she is washing
the dinner dishes, or patching the west end of your trousers, she will
remind you of them in a cold sarcastic tone of voice.
