Who tonieinbets the old days when men of commerce mill Industry wrote u "good business imnd" when hand writing wns one of the accomplish ments nnd loiters written in Ink could Jmj rend with Minill effort? nsks the Nation's Business Handwriting has gone out of style because It pave way to something Inllnllely hotter. It wns the old story. Hnnd work could not compete with machine work tho pen could not compete with the typo writer. Hut wo view with sorrow the fact that tho decline nnd full of hnnd-wrlt-Jng has nlso meant tho decline ami fall 'of tho business signature. You pick up tho ordinary business letter these days, nnd while the body of the communication stands forth In clean-cut typography, you nre lucky If you can make out tho signal lire. Unless you know who wrote It, the Jinmo may be nn. thing from "Blutz" to ".Touch." Some of them appear to bo porfcH; they are made up of togu lnr, sharp saw teeth,, lint when you try to decode them you ran't tell tho "u'a" from thu "11V or the "l's" from tho "t'." Others confuse and dazzle you with scrolls nnd flourishes. And fitlll nnotlier type In Just plain awful. IMalnJy sotncthltij; should bo done Jibout It.

APPRECIATED GIFT OF SHOES Ml6mated Footgear Eagerly Welcomed by the Unfortunate Children of Wretched Armenia. A shoe factory In Boston recently of fered the Neur Hast relief a consign ment of nilsnmted shoes offered tliejn doubtfully, not knowing whether such u gift Wmiltt ho acceptable. Neverthe less, the Kift was Joyfully accepted by the organization, and the mid shoos were more than eagerly received by tho little folks In Near Hast relief or phuuagcj.

KIND HEARTS jj By ADELAIDE R, REMP sotfjttom&m&mo:ecemm& 1922. by McClurn Nowspaper Oynalcnte . Malzle wns In a very absent-minded mood. .She generally presided over the notion counter In Smith & Carter's stuffy bosement with tho nlr of n queen, but this morning her mistakes were many and varied. Her latest customer, a stout lutfy, after nn unsuc cessful attempt to match silk of au Impossible blue had sailed Indignantly away, when Malzle, glancing to the front of the storo, saw something that brought tho pinkest of roses to her pretty cheeks. A somewhat hulking young mnn In grimy overalls nnd Ann uel Bhlrt wns wending bis way In her direction. He stopped for a few mo ments of low-toned conversation nnd then continued toward the hardware department. "Who's your friend?" asked Annie, the blond girl. "Ob, his iiiunu'tf Dan Blake," an swered Malzle with a conscious blush. "I met hliu at ono of the community socials. He works over in the machine shop, lie Just asked mo to the movies tonight. Don't you think he's nice looking?" "He might he If he cleaned himself iij)," agreed Annie. This struck an answering chord In Mulzlo's heart. Then she glanced with admiration at tho Imniaculately-clad lloor-walkcr, Mr. Barker. Even as she gazed he turned and came over to her counter. "Say, Malzle, you sure do bloom In the desert air," ho said, looking with rather bold admiration at her pink cheeks und sparkling eyes. "There's a dandy picture over at the Paragon tonight. If you say so I'll meet you there at eight." Malzle ncccptcd the Invitation at once. After that gloom seemed to settle over the basement Ikkc n dark cloud. Of course she had not actually prom ised Dan, but she knew down In her heart she had fully Intended to go with him when ho had asked her. She had an uncomfortable tightening In the re gion of her throat. At that moment a bevy of high school girls came chat terlng down the stairway and over In her direction.- llkh furs open at the throat showed georgette crepes, and short skirts displayed trim French heels and silk stockings. But lliey found no charm In Mnlzlo's eyes. "Did you see thut good-looking floor walker smile nt mo?" giggled one tull damsel. "Oh, that's nothing," answered an other, miss, purchasing n paper of plus with a most patronizing nlr. "Ills mother keeps a boarding house on the corner of our block. He's an awful flirt and has a different girl about every night lu tho Week." After that Malzle's heart lightened hi the face of a great resolve. When the big gong rang at half-past five she stopped on hot way out of the store beside Mr. Barker who was ar ranging his splendid tie to a greater satisfaction to himself before a small mirror. "I won't be able to go to the Paragon wllii you tonight, .Mr. Barker," she said. "1 have another engagement," ami before Hie astonished young mnn could reply Malzie was gone. Thai night, sitting side by side in the red plush chairs In the clucnmlogrnph db resort, Mal.le and Dan enjoyed the program to the fullest extent. Espe K'ulh lnteiestlng was the little ro mance which showed the little apart ment with a still prettier little wife getting supper and a fat baby lying in a eriti. Dan reached over und look Maivile's hand In Ids. Out on tho street l lie lingered in trout of a brilliantly lighted furniture store. Ten dollars down ami live a month furnished Just such an apartment as they had seen'ln tho movies. Dan pressed thu warm little hand that he had tucked under his arm, "Isn't it peachy?" Malzle began, then siio checked herself and bluihed with a good grace. "W6 could have one Just like that If j ou would, Malzle," whispered Dan. J ho quick, happy glance In her eye toiil Dan that Mnlzlu would. "And," he eont Inued, Joyfully, after a mo ment's silence, "we won't have to get it llku that, cither. You see, Dad owns tile blggost pait of the shop, only he wanted me to know the business thor oughly, so 1 began at tho foot of tho ladder." They w allied on happily. Ahead of them Malzle could see thu "swell" Mr. Kuker, a shapely and stylish orna ment. She only pressed closer to Dan with a happy heart and a deep grati tude (hat she had realized before It was too late that nil that glittered was not gold. Psychanalyzlng Alice. Andre Trldan, who Is the extension of Freud's shadow over America, has been snjlng a few words about Alice of "Alice In Wondorfand" fame. Alice, II seems, has grossly deceived in; she Is, us her creator was, a dangerous paranoiac, and should not bo allowed to play with nice little children. Trl don give overwhelming arguments In proof of these assertions, their only weakness being that they apply with equal force to psychnnalysls them fcehes, and ho leaves us with tho Im pression that Lewis Carroll should have been placed In un asylum nnd de prived of pmi and Ink. Tho creator of AUco has passed on, but the oulja board la very much with us; It would bo delightful to have Lowls Carroll's candid opinion of the Wonderland ere ntiv' by Ft end and Trldon.

In a book written In mlfrfylctorian days concerning tho proper manners of well-bred women appears tho state ment that a woman with graying Irhlr Is "hnrdly rospccfnblo without a cap," and that the woman of thlrty-Avo who docs not don tho cap as signal of the fact of her advnnced ngu has some thing of a "mascullno aspect." Such statements are amusing and sometimes Just a little annoying es pecially lo the woman of thirty-Arc. She consoles herself with the fact that times have changed enormously since thoso dnys and that now so long as a woman Is slender enough to wear clothes selected by elghteen-yenr-old girls she Is seldom criticized for wearing them. . But don't delude yourself Into think ing that nil women of tbrty-llvoInmld-Victorian days donned the cap of old ago. Empress Eugenic wasn't married until she was twenty-tcven, nnd she continued to be regarded as ono of the most charming and beautiful wom en In Europe for many yenrs. It Is really no ncW'thlng for women of thirty-live, forty or over to retain their youthful charms and change very little their modo of dress or behavior as time goes on. Possibly our picsent mode of life, our ntiiloties, our style of clothes, tend more to the retaining of youthful appearance nnd rciil youthfulnosH llinn did conditions of (lie Nineteenth century. OF INTEREST TO ALL IRISH In Region Adjacent to French City of Cannes St. Patrick Received 'Religious Training. "For true appropriateness Cannes might better be. chosen for a discus sion of Irish affairs than for an at tempt to solve European financial problems," says a bulletin of the Na tional Geographic society, in regard to the French Mediterranean winter re sort, meeting place of the allied su preme council. "Cannes has Its tie with Ireland," the bulletin goes on to explain, "because it was in n monas tery on one of two little Islands Just ort the Cannes shore that St. I'atiick received tho religious training which Arcd him with missionary zeal ami led to his conversion of the Irish. "St. Ilouoiat founded, lu -110, on the smnller of the two Islands which bears bis name, the monastery in which St. Patrick studied. It was one of the fountains of learning nnd mis sionary effort during the Middle nges. According to a legend, the Island was Infested by snakes and St. llonoral miraculously drove them out nn ex ample which his follower, St. Patrick, Is supposed to have put to good use In Erin. "In spite of Its many letters Cniiuc.s Is properly pronounced as a single syl lable, like the English verb 'can,'" says the luilletlu. AbI Much of Inventor.

Bv EDNA BARNES $' sa&a5mww::atf (y, luifif, by MrClure Nowitpapvr Syndicate Sylvester Pcluin, In the pnrhinco of Ids l'ellow-townsinen, was a rich old crab, lie surely fus licit, evcAus for tunes nro reckoned nowadays ;'he was eld, If one considers three score and 13 as such. As-to being a crab well, It might be said that he walked back ward, at least as far as his Ideas wero concerned, But everyone has one Inconsistency, and old Sylvester's pet bobby was this. He was Interested In chlrography to the point of Its being an obsession. He was forever having to explain to Ids acquaintances thnt elilrogruphy was not the care of the feet, but a science by which ono can read character In handwriting. Let him get hold of a neighbor's writing, and he advertised the poor unfortunate's faults all over the town, Ne'er did he have anything commendable lo report. So fnr did old Syl's hobby possess him thnt rumor had It that lie had willed that his entire eslate be used to establish an Institute to' promulgate the truths of the science (as Inter preted by Sylvester Pelam) to the end of dispersing a universal knowledge of chlrography. Now, there was none to dlspule this will. His only son was dead really dead although to old Syl ho had been dead from the moment he announced his Intention of marrying Edith Mel ville. She was an actress. Old Syl wouldn't even see her. Thus, for -3 years, old Syl had heard of his son only twice onto recently when he died nnd on nnotbei' occasion when his wife died nt the birth of their little son, Melville. Old Syl might have soltened toward tho child, had he not been hi-ifnded with his mother's name. He had al most forgotten the existence of "the brat," when out of a clear sky came a letter from the youngster, now aged tweiny-one. It waj an ordinary enough letter, typewritten on tho letterhead Sit a well-known brokerage concern In New York.' Melville was applying for u life Insurance policy nnd he wanted to know what his maternal grandmoth er died of. old Syl might not have read the mis sive" but lor tho signature.. Never had he run across such a specimen. It was clear-cut and bold, with Just enough slant to denote ambition, but with no trace of unpleasant aggres siveness. So ho wns Interested In life Insurance more prudent thnn his fa ther, old Syl reflected. Old Syl went to the phone. Finally came tho report that Melville was not yet In. Old Syl retired to brood over the wonderful slgnnture, assured by the operator that he would be sum moned as soon as bis "party" could lie located. It was nearly U:3(. The "party" was in it tawdry New York boarding bouse, leisurely attiring himself for the day. lie emerged looking like un advertisement tor u haberdashery, whistling nonchalantly nnd feeling quite positive that his lateness is morning would be the last straw. Tho manager would, Mirely stand .for no more. qiM'Utw rotten bookkeeper, anyw ay--)fVjVJWH i clever enough to know ihnj;,,, J-Jijwover, he didn't care. Something would turn (np. Some thing alwnjs did. Tho reason for today's lateness was tin usual one up until nil hours the night before dancing with Kathleen, the pearl of all womanhood. Kathleen talked to Pel-Mel frankly. Let him get a decent income und. she would consider matrimony. Pel-Mel Pclniu's conjecture wns right; his doom was already sealed when lie reached olllce. The manager was prepared to deal the blow. "Yes, sir?' was all Pel-Mel had to say when told his services would be dispensed with. He hardly had a chnnce to real ize ho now belonged to the vast army of unemployed when Boston called again. Pel-Mel emerged, from the booth ten minutes later, warm and dazed. The gist of It all was that ids grandfather his mysterious old grandfather of whom his pnrents had told him almost nothing was arranging for 9100,000 to be placed to his credit In a 'New York bank that very day. "Don't want you to bnve4to,walt till. I'm dead to be glad you have' a grandfather," Old Syl had explained, , A more curious person tha'n Pel-Mel Pelam might lmvq wondered at this sudden Interest, but Pel-Mel's mind was occupied only with tho jlnglo of money. Why, ?100.(K)0 would buy Kathleen's consent, with some change left over! Pel-Mel grabbed his hat and stalled to Kathleen. "Pel-Mel" was the right name for him, thought many a clerk, as ho dashed through the olllce. The accommodating stenographer with the big, serious eyes, sal near the door. "O, Mr. Pchtm," sho called to hhn, and then she gnvo him n prosy mes sage. Awfully decent of her, of course, thought Pel-Mel, but why stop lilm, oven for n moment?. Couldn't she see be was In n hurry? All sho had said to him was: "You wore gone last night when 1 llnl-hcd .that letter to your grandfather, bo I Just signed It myself. I hope you don't mind?" l-i AM !' '-iM'ty, "You soiuoilmes discuss subjects you don't undorMnuii," remarked the censorious 'friend. "Ye-S" 'Vetdlcd Senator Sorghimj; "but In' !ili Humility.
