What It May Reveal.

T~HIS very swinging, graceful writ
ing Is seldom used by a man
1t denotes, perhaps, more than
J. ordinary fine sensibilities. We
should expect this writer to be
very courteous, considerate person,
especially In his regard for women. He
possibly holds a more Victorian view
point of feminine respect than is gen.
orally found today. He surely seems
to be the type who would be thought
full son and devoted husband.
He shows an unusual appreciation of
the beauty Of graceful lines. From
this we might judge him to be very
clever with his hands. Heavy manual
could, perhaps, work wonders with pen
ell or pen. He seems particularly fitted
to be a jeweler or engraver Creative
rather than routine work would seem
to appeal to him most.
If such very close work does not at
tract him, he might perchance be in
terested in furniture carving and de-
signing. At present, handmade fur
niture, in either new design or copies
of antiques, is in great demand. He
could, perhaps, have his own shop,
working out his own ideas. He could
also specialize in restoring and recon-
structing valuable old furniture into
beautiful and useful pieces. Really
skilled craftsmen in this line can COM
mand liberal payment for their work.
The large capital IT" suggests he may
be slightly egotistical Though this
trait may not be especially pronounced,
1t may be noticeable enough to attract
undesirable attention at times He
should be particularly careful not to in
trude his personality too strongly when
with strangers. His friends might, per-
haps, overlook this tendency, but people
who do not know him might receive an
unfavorable impression.

EXPERIENCED COOKS PUT UP FRUIT IN
 SMALL QUANTITIES
Hills Bros. Follow Similar Rule by Roasting Coffee a
 Little at a Time

By adding the halves of fruit to the hot syrup a few at time, the boiling temperature is maintained and the fruit cooks to firm, tender goodness.
 This principle is apparent in Hill Bros process of roasting coffee and the result is a uniform, deli cious flavor no other coffee has. A constant stream of expertly blended green coffee is introduced into the roaster in automatically measured lots of about three pounds. As it passes through, uniform heat roasts it little at a time. When the op- eration is over, every berry is roasted to an even degree that could never be secured by any bulk method of roasting coffee.
 This process is fittingly called Controlled Roasting. It was orig mated and patented by Hills Bros. and develops savOry, delicious flavor that no other process can equal.
 Because Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum, it is always fresh. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out of the can and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can. Sold by grocers every where.
