Royalty Likes Fountain Pen

The instrument of all royal writer's
of England, prior to the Victorian
age. was the quill pen. though in her
later years Queen Victoria abandoned
her prejudice against novelties so far
as to use the steel pen.
At the present time monarchs, like
their subjects, avail themselves of
the improvements which human in
genuity has wrought IN the pen, and
King George, the Queen Mother. the
Prince Of Wales and Princess Mary
are firm devotees of the fountain pen.
The pen with reservoir is equally
popular wit the rulers of Italy, Bel
GUM, Spain and Rumania.
Those who are fortunate enough to
possess autographs of these exalted
personages may derive pleasure and
instruction from comparing their
penmanship, aided by the latest tri-
umphs of mechanical invention. with
that OF their predecessors, who had
to depend upon what the poet called
Natures noblest gift-the gray
goose QUILL"
