Personality and Legible Writing
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

may be discovered is as likely to be
incorrect as correct.
Often penmanship is difficult to de-
cipher because the writer is trying to
put individuality into il by breaking
away from a TOO common and usual
style. a distinctive style of writing
is sought There have been cduca-
tional periods when especial styles of
penmanship were so punctiliousiy
taught in certain schools that you
could tell with a reasonable degree of
definiteneSs from what city the writer
came or even from what school, if
private one.
Fashions in Handwriting.
For example, there was the Spen-
cerian era of penmanship, the angular
era, the round writing period, the
small type period. the exaggerated
large hand epoch. etc. All were in
the endeavor to break away from set
rules in the desire for difference, or
determination to revert to legible
handwriting when extremes fostered
difficulty in reading what was penned.
Today the urge for individuality is
stronger than any other thing.
Personality i'm Writing.
Those who choose the wisest meth
cd of getting "personality" in pen
manship let time work its wonders.
Without any effort. ones writing
does assume a difference" 1t is
characteristic writing then, not an as
sumed individuality. If, instead OF
slavishly following any precise method
in the formation of the written alpha
bet and its word combinations, the
writer seeks to have the penmanshlp
as clear and easy to read as possible,
individuality creeps into it.
individuality i'm Writing.
There is nothing more easy to dis.
Germ in handwriting than an assumed
individuality. It stands out as bla-
tantlv recognizable as the color of the
ink and the shade of the stationery.
II is possible to have a trend OF fash
ion in handwriting, however, without
overemphasizing it to the extent OF
actually changing ones chirography.
AS often as not this tendency is sub
consciously acquired. In the formative
period of ones handwriting, before 1t
has crystallized, this is a common oc-
currence. After the handwriting has
become established there is bit OF
risk. If your penmanship can be MADE
more legible by following the fashion,,
by all means do change it. But If 1t
alfeady Is ieSlDle anu mas q tou>h Va
personality, too, it is a mistake 10
make any attempt to alter it.
Insure Legibility.
Parents as we'll as teachers should
emphasize the Importance of legible
writing from the start with children.
The post offices are sending letters
travelling over the country to wrong
places because of illegible addresses,
even though experts on deciphering
writing that is blind are on staffs.
Nevertheless it is surprising how few
letters do go astray through the mails
when you realize the careless and
casual way in which addresses are
penned. With legible writing letters
reach destinations as soon as mails
can take them and are sure to be read
correctly throughout.

1t sounds rather strange to hear nc
urging humane treatment of the male
sex. Most of you girls think the men
get all the best of everything. =
But again there are hundreds of YOU
who see TO ii that men get the worst
deal possible under all circumstances.
How in the name of goodness do
you maltreaters OF men hope to make
successful wives? You're training
yourselves the wrong way
Shirley said to me the other day in
a complacent manner: Il made Jimmy
wait an hour for me the other day in
the hotel lobby. 1t was terribly cold
and he was simply furious by the time
l arrived. But l smiled him out of ii. ~

Don't be so fussy. Mimi. It's good
for men to be treated like that. They
really love it. | always make my
friends wait for me. Then they appre-
ciate me all the more
That's all very well now Shirley is
young and pretty and popular She
can afford to be little high-handed.
But how long is any husband going
to put up with that sort of thing?
Does Shirley think she's going to keep

keeps up that sort of discourtesy?
Then Anne told me of her brilliant
scheme. when l think a man needs
jolt, do you know what | do?" she
asked. Il simply burst into tears for
no reason at all and tell him he's made
me miserable. If he's been caring
about me at all. he gets completely up
set and makes all sorts of promises
and protestations. Even the most re-
served man will get unhappy and wor-
ried about tears. / made that funny
old Unconditional Ronald the other
night simply beg me to stop crying,
It's good for men, / think"
Poor Ronald. What had he or any
other of Anne's boy friends done to de-
serve such treatment?
Could any action be more unkind
than bursting into tears on party
which your escort has tried to make as
pleasant for you as possible?
Isn't it beastly to make a scene just
for the purpose of seeing another hui
man being suffer?
Why do girls like Shirley and Anne
think it's good for men to make them
unhappy?
What is this strange urge that
makes them rude and unkind to men,
bers of the opposite sex?
And how do they think they're going
to get away with it 10 years from
now?
If they get in the habit of treating
men like amusing toys, to be played
with and thrown about-pinched and
petted-they're not going to be able to
stop all at once.
That habit will cling and they'll find
that their moods and caprices will
prove less attractive to the opposite
sex as the time goes on.
They're going to be out in the cold
some day wishing for real friend
among all their men.
You can't make friends with any
person whom you treat as a rather in
ferior sort of dog.
You can only last with men you use
badly as long as your bright young
beauty lasts.
And that, my girls, is not for very
long.
Make certain of an easy, pleasant
future with plenty of man friends by
giving them as square a deal as you
expect yourself.

directed to this paper provided stamped
