Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.

= UGH accurate, carefully formed
writing is indeed unusual 1t de-
notes a character Of great exact
~ ness, seldom deviating from es-
tablished habits The writer
probably is very precise person, who
carefully weighs all of her actions.
The shading suggests she may be
artistic. She would probably prefer
the old schools of art to the newer,
more impressionistic ones. Probably
she lacks the imagination necessary to
complete in her minds eye the Sug-
gestlve type Of drawings
Her life, perhaps, is not very varied.
This IS possibly from choice, as change
and upheaval would be annoying to
her. She undoubtedly is very even
tempered. Her friends would never see
her out OF sorts or disagreeable but
would think of her as always pleasant.
1t would seem that a greater diversity
OF interests would be good for her. She
may, as she grows older become very
set" in her ways and have a tendency
to be self-centered. Social service work
might be an interesting field for her.
The suffering and misery OF other
people might react unfavorably upon
her at first, but it would surely open
her eyes to the way many people must
live. Her interest would probably be-
come so great that the unpleasant fea-
lures would be overshadowed
She would perhaps enjoy small
gatherings Of friends. Large, ostenta-
tious entertainments would not be of
interest to her. A pleasant group be-
fore the fireside in softly lighted room
would afford her greater enjoyment.
Bridge and other games would perhaps
be happy diversion in such group
She would, perhaps, not care to be-
come an expert, however, preferring
instead the social aspect of the game

or Mrs. Possum and his eleven
brothers and sisters were not far away,
and when Runty joined them they all
wanted to hear all about his adven-
lures. When he had left them he had
been the smallest Of the family and
the others had paid little attention to
him. Now he was one of the biggest
so fast had he grown. He told them
all that had happened to him and
presently discovered that in their eyes
he was something of a hero Not one
Of the others had had any adventures
worth speaking of and they openly ad-
mired Runty. 1t rather went TO his
head You know admiration is very
apt to do that. He began to feel i'm

Unc' Billy out of the wisdom Of long
smart never boast" said he. "Yo' used
yo' haid, but yo were lucky too. Dom
fo'get that. Yo' were lucky. Yo' may
not always be so lucky, SO don boast"
This was good advice and down in
his heart Runty knew it. But the ad-
miring glanceS Of his brothers and
sisters were too much for him and
when Unc' Billy wasn't around he did
boast He just couldn't help it.
"Ah wouldn't be afraid of Bowser the
Hound or that lii black and white
Dog yo' all are so scared of if they
should come along this minute" he
boasted. "Ah wouldn't run step from
them"
This was rather more than the others
were able to believe and they said so.
1T Is the truth" he maintained
stoutly, and told them how he had
often ridden on the back of Flip the
Terrier. But the more he boasted of
this the stronger grew their unbelief.
Some day All will show yo' all" he
declared.

~ ECORATING the house for
Christmas is one of the pleas

family. When there is a tree
this is first and foremost. Wreaths for
the windows come next, then garlands

1t is quite possible that this year large

floor around the table, and put the
smaller ones on the table itself, and the
living room will Immediately take on
the festive appearance.
On Christmas Eve don't forget to
have at least one lighted candle in
some window to guide the Christ Child

significance of Christmas candle-lighted
windows. Nothing is more decorative
