FASHIONS IN HANDWRITING.
American Women Affected by Q wave Of
English Angularity.

II handwriting Is ali index 70 character
American women are all getting to be sx-
actly alike. Every fashionable woman
now writes the angular English hand and
Others are cultlvating Il. Good form de-
crees that paper. ink and wax must bs OF
a certain style and this, taken In niunc-
ton with the similarity Of penmanship
makes one fashionable wonlan's letter
resemble another's almost exactly.
The angular writing possesses one merit,
that OF being easily distinguishable. Con-
frasted with the fine. light, slantinv,
Italian handwriting that was the fashion
for women thirty or forty years ago the
writing of the modern woman shows
remarkable change. Even ten or fifteen
years ago the school girl who wrote with a
heavy black stroke OF the pen was CON-
sidered at fault, while extremely light or
delica,ely shaded Spencerian penn.anship
was commended as perfect.
But all that Is changed nowadays. The
blacker the writing the more character
IL is supposed to possess. just q. the sketches
OF some artists who are lavish with their
India ink are rated as strong. Shading
has gore out entirely.
1t was ute fad with women OF long aso
to cross their four and flve-page letters OF
finely traced writing. Such letter to-dav
would be undecipherable TO modern ewes
There is no need for the average woman
10 cross her letters nowadays, "a thev
are az brief as possible. The long soulful
outpourings with pen and ink between
women friends are no longer INDUCED I'm.
II has been said that the art of letter writ
ing has completely died out and that there
are no more love letters of the old sort
written between betrothed couples.
Even among women the telegraph and
the telephone have done much 10 make
letter writing as il used 10 be practised
considered an out-of-olate accomplish
ment. Most women regard il as a bore TO
answer letters, and their time is taken up
with so many occupations. studies and
pleasures that there is little left for the
correspondence which used To be one Of
the joys Of the old-fashioned girls life.
The feminine handwriting most char
acteristic to-day Il that Of women in tho
professions. These women write their own
letters as a rule and are more accustomed
to the pen than their society sisters Tho
handwriting of the women of the stage is
especially interesting as indicated In a
collection OF autographs.
Women write with much more self con-
sciousness than men a. a rule. Few men
indulge in the space or the ink that women
squander on their names But women
write very legibly nowadays. much more
so than men. The typewriting machine
has saved most mon from the necessity Of
personal letter writing and there il little
of the old-fashoned business handwriting
seen that used to be part of a young mans
education i'm the o'l IaN.s
