Various Ways Of Overcoming Common
Inconvenience.

What an annoyance 1t is to spread

tie down to a whole afternoon Of let
ter writing. only to find after half an
hour that you have the writer's cramp.
After the first letter or two you give
It up In despair. and the friends
who are waiting for letters are disap-
pointed.
This writer's cramp Is serious mat.
ter to people whose work requires
that they use pen very much. while
for the unaccustomed writer who
takes an afternoon OF now and then
to catch up with her correspondence II
is, to say the least, very discouraging.
The trouble Is more than muscular In
this kind OF cramp. Very often a low
nervous condition will cause It. Then
one should take It as q warning that
the system is run down and needs gen.
eral toning UP. Very often. however.
the trouble is in the way you hold
your pen. ~
Children now in school are not like.
ly to be troubled with writer's cramp,
because they are being taught to
hold the pen lightly and make all
the movements from the arm instead
OF the hand. The old.fashioned meth
cd which most Of US learned. Of hold
ing the pen between the thumb and
forefinger Is also very likely to en-
courage a cramp. The muscles be
come tense and hard, until finally they
contract so much that all control over
them is lost. The pen should be held
between the two first fingers. well ny
toward the joint. The trouble may
often be relieved by putting the hand
and wrist into the hottest water one
can stand.
