There's a birthstone palace waiting

And sweep through Europe with

Tynewritten SIGNATURES

In these days of typewriter letters
and equally typewriter official docu-
ments the writing by hand is becoming
a lost art.
Average Of time for reading letters
is two minutes for the body of the let
ter and anywhere from fifteen minutes
to two hours trying to figure out who
made the hieroglyphics that stand for
a signature.
In these days of economy it seems
wicked to waste SO much lime. let
the stenographer type the signature in
full at the end of the letter, leaving a
space below in which the author may
satisfy his taste for cubist or futurist
art.
Every man, even Layer or a sol
dier, has a right to sign his name as
he pleases. But the man who writes
signature which none can copy-or
read-should at least furnish his
friends with a key to the code he uses.
business colleges please copy.-TO-
