where Is there a man or woman who
knows how to put a point on a quill .
It was once an art which every man

generally bad at 1t. as they are now at

There is no modern pen of steel or gold
that rs so smooth. so swift. so alluring
as a good quill pen. The writer is very
sure of that, for his father used to tell

The art of handwriting has certainly
