sandwiches, three cups of coffee and three
dishes Of ice cream.
And then the three chartered gaily away,
telling each other about new gowns and
and other topics of feminine interest. They
were interrupted by the approach Of a
waiter with an immense tray. He depos-

VERTICAL WRITING.

To our notion when the text book
commission turned down vertical writ
ing and adopted the semi-slant they
knitted very good friend of the printer.
|-Emmet Citizen
There is a great deal of fault-finding
with the vertical system of writing.
Perhaps it is justified. But if you were
ever printer on a country newspaper
You would appreciate vertical writing.
The older correspondents who learned
the slant system in the days of their
youth, usually write miserably. The
printer has hard time making out
some of their scrawIs. This slant writ
ing is the cause of considerable extra
work on the part of the recording angel
But nearly every country paper has
among its correspondents several young
people who have learned the vertical
system of writing. 1t is a pleasure to
the printer to get hold of their copy"
because 1t is uniformly clear and dis
tinct. The vertical system may be slow.
and there may be other objections to It,
but If its object is to teach children to
write plainly, it fills the bill.
