almost nothing.
He lived alone, for he had no mate,
and his nearest Marmot neighbor lived
a mile away on another rock slide. But
Whistler wasn't lonesome, not the least
bit. He preferred to be alone. In this
he was just the opposite CT his Cousin

social body and not happy unless he
has a lot of near neighbors to visit and
gossip with.
So now, fully satisfied that he was
quite alone, whistler went about his
affairs in a perfectly natural way. To
begin with, he was hungry. He had
been planning to get bite to eat when
Farmer Browns Boy had appeared and
frightened him down into his home.
There he had waited so long that his
stomach was quite empty by the time
he came out. So as soon as he was
sure that no one was about he ran over
to little patch of grasses and other
plants of which he was very fond.

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.


TT seems as though this writer is a
very calm, easy-going person. She
would appear to take her time
about what she does, being very
careful to leave no loose ends. Notice
that her letters such as "a" and 90
have a double loop, indicating this
trait.
The very rounded form of her letters
suggests one who is good natured and
pleasant. She might be a more inter-
esting companion if she did not tend
to be little reserved. Those who know
her, however, probably find her to be a
very true friend.
She uses q semi-print style in MAX
ing her capital letters, suggesting orig
inal thinking and keen mind she
should use her ability in some type OF
business endeavor. She should be val
liable in a line of work where using
her own discretion about things was
important. Routine duties would be
hard for her and she might uncon-
sciously neglect them and not do her
best. She should be on the watch for
opportunities for more interesting
type of work
1t may be that she hesitates to assert
herself, and for that reason allows IA
vors which should come her way TO
pass her unnoticed. She should occa-
sionally show any particularly good
work she may have done to a superior
in order to demonstrate her ability.
Advertising or decorating should APP
peal to her, as they both demand the
type of cultured originality which she
seems to possess.
Note-Andlysis OF handwriting is not
