WHAT'S WHAT

The most brilliant epigram attributed
TO the late Lord Fisher is DO right
and fear no man; don't and fear no
woman"
In the eighteenth century letter-w.it-
ing had become one OF the fine arts ;
In the nineteenth century 1t began TO pc
but a pleasant duty--often long drawn
out--and in the twentieth century the
one-time eplstolary art Is almost teie-
graphic In brevity.
Yet. although there is little time for
elaborate correspondence In these busy
days the old rules still hold good re-
garding prompt responses to letters
which require answers, fastidiousness
as to the quality of the notepaper USED
and the maintenance of a certain reserve
In expression, no matter how impuisiVe
may be the emotions OF the writer.

Finger tips speak language all their
own. For instance when they are of
square appearance, they tell of sys-
tematic, orderly, punCtual nature, For
business people there is no other finger
tip so conducive TO success as the square
fingers and therefore. is usually
coupled with long-tngered attention to
detail.
In whatever connection it is found
the square finger tip always denotes
orderlineSs a love OF rule and prece-
dent {; disposition to have "a place for
everything and everything in its place"
Square-tipped people also are, as a
rule, polite and strict observers of So
cial customs Moreover. they are prac-
tical and are fond Of facts methodcally
marshaled, Hence they like history and
the sciences better than novels and arts
And, when they do betake themselves to
either novels or art, It is to such novels
as convey useful practical lessons. such
as have bearing upon morals or bu1t-
ness and TO such phases of art as sug-
gest a direct reference TO the daily af-
fairs OF man, such as pictures of still
life, landscapes or buildings.
Square tips are good acCompani-
ment TO those qualities which go to make
sculptorS. And, above all, they are al
most Indispensable to mathematiclans.

Rita knew that Diana was as A small
girl learning the devious ways of life.
Eer marriage with Julian had kept her
as sheltered and protected as the average
wife. and now she was stepping out for
herself Rita wished that she had
known Julian or that Diana would tell
her more about herself. Somehow she
imagined she would like Julian. although
she felt every time that she looked at
Diana with her blue-grcen eyes and her
curved mouth that Julian, her husband,
ought TO be around somewhere looking
out for his own. II was difficult to think
that any man, having once loved Diana,
would willingly give her up.
