portunity for fun-making.

1oned man who was said to have done
the handsome thing %
A Topeka man describes his exper-
ence with a fountain pen as follows:
1T was a genteel, artistic article with
a slender form and black shiny finish.
1t was fed with ink or fluid of a spe-
c1ai brand by means Of an instrument
which looked like a combination of a
thermometer and the business end of
a baby'S bottle. After fed it, start
ed to write a letter. First I gently
coaxed the ink to come by dipping the
pen point downwards, until few drops
oozed out on the point. Then gently
pressed it on the paper.
But no ink came. Only few faint
scratches were the results of my ef-
forts Then 1 warmed the thing as
thought that the ink might be sluggish
from cold. Still no response. Finally,
as was idly caressing the pen and
playfully drawing imaginary diagrams
on the note paper the ink began to
come until the fluid flowed as copiously
as the tears of a girl at a tragic matt
nee. There was race between my flow
of ideas and the flow of the fluid
Gradually, the enthusiasm of the ink
wore itself out until could think just a
little faster than the stuff would race
out on the pen point. Since then
have had the fountain pen under per-
feet control"
