Very Brief Session of the Woman's Club
Yesterday Afternoon.
If breyity is really the soul of wit. the session
of the Woman's Club yesterday Imust have
been an exceedingly witty one. Late comers,
detained by business or other appointments,
found the library deserted. and only a trace of
what had been in the chubby arrangement of
table and chairs. The only paper read was one
on the "Cossacks," by Mrs. DinwIddie, which
was full of information, and a subject of gen.
eral interest, as the many recent magazine
articles treating of the same testify. Animated
discussion followed the reading of the paper,
inspired partly by Mrs. Dinwiddie's adoption of
the latest pronunciation of the words Cossack
and Russia.
Mrs Wade. by a unanimous request of the
members OF the club. gave pleasing and In
teresting account of the doings of the recent
Press Club Convention, or rather, the feminine
portion of it. Adjournment was then order.
and an Informal reception given Miss Kyle, the
hrst President of the club. who was present at
the meeting.

shakespeare's Queer Fist.

Wasn't that rather unkind cut at Shakes
peare in THE DISPATCH the other day? The
allusion to his signature especially. 1t is true
that the great dramatist used to sign his name
in an irregular, lop-sided, msshapen" style.
and "William Shakespeare" as it has come
down to us on all too few documents,
is not an autograph to be proud of.
Judged by the standard to-day, but are the
autographs of his cotemporarles any better?
Aren't Elizabethan autographs mostly of the
spider-escaped- from the ink pot styleP The
great soldiers and sailors not only but the liter
ary "fellers" who made Eliza's reign glorious
were NOT easy and accomplished penmen ap-
parently. -.
The art of writing until less than hundred
years before Shakes peare's birth had been
practiced almost exclusively by monks and
clerks employed by them. Monarchs who
could only make their mark were reignlng
when Shakespeare wrote, and the new learning
had really got little more than a foothold.
Shakespeare's father could not write his name,
and probably his mother. though of gentle
birth, also signed herself x. There was no in
fuence of heredity to help out the immortal
William when he took the pen between his fin
pers and what he learned of writing at the
Stafford grammar school could not have been
very much. So that it is reasonable to accept
his signature late in life as fair specimen of
that days chirography and no more crooked
or crazy than most mems. 1t is question that
could be settled by the comparison of Shakes
peare's signature with the penmanship of a
dozen other writers of the sixteenth century.
If N uemory does not betray me. the handwriting
of most of Elizabeth's subjects had Shakes
peare's queer characteristics.
