century, to the hieroglyphics of the earl
lest times.
Fads in writing may come and go, but
its essentials do not change. In the Art
Museum and the Library one may see
the influence OF the Renaissance on even
such a homely matter as this. THE fine
Italian hand" Of metaphor had a very
real foundation in fact; 1t was the art
and social leaders from the South Of
Europe who produced what might be
called euphemism in handwriting as well
as in speech. While the quirks, and
Quirls, and graces have dropped from
everyday conversation, they have sur
vived more or less in chirography
A study of the old manuscripts in the
Library shows this plainly Handwrit-
ing seems to have been copied from one
person to another, and since the days
when the nobility and the elite wrote
with an exaggerated slant, this style of
forming letters has fingered among PEN
men, except when they were under
stress either of time or volume of work.
Then the tendency is to revert to the
primary or more natural condition of
straight up-and-down and straight back
and-forward strokes. AS one studies
ancient fragments and quaint parch-
ments it comes as a surprise that the So

familiar round hand of our immediate
ancestors. is not something new, but
something very old.
While experts on the whole favor the
natural hand. as vertical writing should
be called. and while it is coming into
more common use every day, one meets
strange cases of misunderstanding re-
garding It. 1t has been suggested that
it promotes deception and protects the
forger, yet expert studens of manu-
scripts will tell you that the simpler and
palmer chirography is the more difficult
1t Is to initiate exactly. On this point
DR.. Persifor Frazer of the Franklin
Institute in Philadelphia, who Is the
author of "Bibliotics or the Study of
Documents. Determination of the Indi-
vidual Character of Handwriting and
Detection Of Fraud and Forgery" says:
''The relation of any system of writing
to the prevalence OF forgery is, in my
opinion. to be represented by zero.
Even typewriting, which seems to offer
the forger the greatest opportunities. is
likely to prove to him a snare. Systems
of penmanship can have no effect on
forgery through facilitating or rendering
more difficult the imitation of another
hand There are so many characters
tics n every handwriting, unknown and
invisible to the possessor. that the shape
or appearance Of the writing Is Of the
least Importance In seeking the author. /"

that time they have been inseparable

he won distinction. He was the regular
editor OF the Advocate, ard its last editor

actor at college, and he was a popular
fraternity man. In 1900 he received the
degree of NJ. A, and the same year he
was made instructor In English at Har-
ward, position he still holds. He is also
miscellany editor of the Youths Com

The evolution of the American school
boys vertical writing is interesting. 1t
was not until the early days of the
Christian era that writings with the reed
pen and stilus became at all common,
and then the languages chiefly employ
ing it were Greek and Latin. Manu-
scripts preserved from that time record
the birth of the natural hand. The Co
dex Alexandrinus'' of the fifth century is
an example of strictly vertical lettering,
and, indeed. verticality prevailed until
the end of the seventh century, when q
decay set In.
The round, broad letters then began to
give way to narrow and oval ones, and
in the eighth century a distinct slant to
the right appeared. Following the laws of
evolution. which seem to show that 1t
takes handwriting about 800 years to
develop, flourish and decay. chirography
became more and more illegible during
the ninth century; but in the tenth the
monasteries, which were the seats Of
learning, came to the rescue. There
was an immediate resumption Of the form
er round, vertical script and so complete
was the restoration that the missals of
that time, judged by their lettering, are
scarcely distinguishable from those OF
three centuries before.
Writing as an art continued thus until
the renaissance; then the fantastic Ital-
ian school brought italics into exist
ence. This peculiar slant writing, which
still is seen now and then in type, was
the forerunner of the socalled ornamental
writing systems so popular a few years
but now disappearing again before the
faster and more legible modern vertical

The economic causes usually assigned
for the low wages of the woman worker
are the oversupply due to the fact that
so few occupations are open to her, the
lack of organization among women wage
earners, the fact that women are seldom
brought up to a trade" and, conse-
quently, are less highly skilled than men,
the influence of custom and public opin-
ion, and the political disabilities OF wom-
en-. During the recent stock yards strike
the president of the Woman's Union told
the women strikers at meeting 1 at

to forget that their own wages were in

in a strange three-cornered ro-
nance Miss Keller has no notion of
marrying herself. but her faithful teach

necessary before Miss Sullivan's lover
could obtain her consent to the marriage

The consent of Miss Keller was easily
obtained. after John Albert Macy had
promised that she might go to their

same relations she had with Miss Sui
Ivan for the past sixteen years. If Miss
Keller had refused her consent to the
wedding there would have been none.

ARE WOMEN BUSINESS FAILURES?

Nicholson's new Elements of Political
Economy. He says: when large num-
bers of women were employed in the
same industries as men, the tendency
was for the men tor gain the advantage
in industrial competition; they were SUI
perior in physical strength and still mora
so in moral coercion. Thus women were
gradually excluded from the more gainful
occupations, and by force of habit they
came to be considered unwOmanly. Until
recently, though half the people in the
world are females, there was still preju-
dice against lady doctors; and though
women are often litigants, they are rare
ly lawyers, even if the law permits. Tho
exclusion of women from certain occupa-
tions increased the supply and thus low
cred the wages in employments to which
they were admitted. In recent years,
however, the great natural economic
forces have been working in favor Of
women" - Edith Abbott, in Harper's
