hardly ever see a barber getting his
hair cut in his own place. The other

ibid you ever think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only the
upper halves Of the letters? The lower
halves are in many cases only the
stems, the remalnders Of ornamental
flourishes which have been gradually
reduced in size and length and are now
meaningless. Take, for instance. the
heading Of q paper. Cover up with q
blank sheet the lower half OF the let
tiers, and even if you did not know
what they were you would have no diff
flculty in reading the words. Now, re-
verse the process and cover the upper
half, and If you did not know the words
1t would be impossible to make out the
letters. This fact is even more plainly
seen in the case of the Roman letters
used for headlines. An l. might be
mistaken for an l, but nearly all the
other letters are SO plainly indicated
by the shape of the upper half that the
lines may be read without difficulty
