An Austrian psychologist whO-
investigated the signatures and
handwriting of 8,000 people,
many of them famous, said:
"You can disguise your voice,
but not your handwriting. Peo-
ple Who are told that large eap-
ital letters are .a sign of vanity
and who try to remodel their
handwriting, find that in ma-
Meats of emotion they go back
to those bold flourishes."
Commenting on Sir. Winston
Churehili'fi handwriting, he Pe$
the fancy curved tails to his let-.
ter y's were a sure sign of pow-
erful imagination.
Many famous men have writ-

wrote so illegibly that an ex.-

"DOES HE LOVE ME-"
"Dear Anne Hirst: My trouble
is that I don't know whether the
boy I care for loves me or not.
I am 18 and he is 22, and I want
to marry him — but he has not
asked me, One night he said he
was the 'nearest to marriage'
he'd ever been, but I've heard
other boys say things like that.
"He only sees me once a
week; his father died a year ago
and he has a mother and sister
to look after. He is bashful, but
he's the settled type, too. If he
is too shy . to ask me, how can
I let him know I love him?
(I'm not the sort to ask a boy
to marry me.) I know this let-
ter isn't good enough to be
printed, but do let me hear
something soon.
Easy to Make!

Handwriting Is,..
Health Barometer
If your handwriting's bad, be-
ware! It could, lose you 'a for-
tune.
An Italian won • no less titan
$125,000 in a •football pool a lit-
tle while ago. But for a long time
he could not be traced because
his' hantheriting on the coupon
was unreadable.
Graphology experts say that
all Over the world people's hand-
writing is becoming less legible.
One of the •main causes is the
fact that life today is so hectic.
Many people tend to write too
fast — to scrawl, in fact.
A London professor has, de-
clared that our handwriting is a
good health barometer. The
healthy child is a better hand-
writer than the delicate child, he
says. He mentioned a woman
whose haridWriting was week by
week "a most sensitive baro-
meter to 'her physical and emo-
tional condition."
Another expert points out that
a person• who doesn't eat the
right amount of nourishing food
frequently writes illegibly. His
writing lacks the buoyancy and
clarity which distinguishes that
of a well-fed Man:

chievous man. The actress wets

Q., When a girl has, heels intro-
duCed to a young ma; and is
leaving him, should she say that
.he is glad to have met him?
A, No, It is the man's place to
say this, to which she may reply,
"Thank you," If he makes no
such statement, then a smile and
a "good-by" acre all that is neces-
sary.
Q. When one is. dining in *
self-service cafeteria, is it necees
WY to tip the waitress who car-
ries one's tray from the counter
to the table?
A. This is not necessary, al-
though some people do.
Q, Is it good form to use ruled
Paper for social correspondence?
A, No,
Q. Is it customary for a house
guest to bring his hostess some
kind of.gift?
A, This is often done, and it is
a nice thing to do — but it is not
absolutely necessary.. The bread-
and-butter letter is really all
that is expected and required.
Q. Must every first call 'be re-
turned by a woman who has re-
cently moved into a neighbor-
hood, whether she likes some
particular person or not?
A. First calls should be re-
turned within two weeks, al-
though, •of course, it is not neces-
sary to form strong friendships
with. everyone.
Q, When a woman's husband
is a "junior," should she also
use this affix in her correspon-
,dence?
A. Yes, certainly,
Q. Is it good Manners for a girl
to ask her escort for a cigarette?
A. This is quite all right. An
attentive escort should, of course
make such a request unneces-
sary-, but should he be forgetful
enough, it is perfectly proper for
the girl to make the request.
Q. Should the hours ayvays be
definitely stated. in the invita-
tions to a child's party?
A. Yes. State them clearly, so
that the parents will know when
the children should go and at
what hour they should send for
them.
Q. Would it be all right for the
sister of a bride-elect to give s
party for her, or would that im-
ply that gifts are expected?
A. This is all right if it is em-
phasized that the party is not to
be 'a shower. Or, give the party
in the evening and invite men,
too.
Q. How is it possible to pro-
mote friendliness among • strang-
ers at larger public gatherings
or conventions?
A. It is always nice for every-
one to wear easily-read, badges
bearing his name and home
town. These badges seem to take
strangeness away and do much
of increase fellowship.
GERRY"
You cannot know whether
the boy loves you unless he
says so. He may care, but
with his responsibilities he
cannot think of marrying, I
expect, for quite a while, so
he hesitates to commit him-
self. The surest way to em-
barrass him would be to imply
that you love him. No matter,
how shy a young man is, he
wants to take the initiative
and he would resent such a
declaration; it would put him
on the spot, and that, of course,
you would shrink from doing.
Time is your best ally. Try
to be patient, Whether the
idea appeals or not, I urge you
not to forsake your other
friends but accept their dates
frequently. It will keep you
better balanced emotionally
and make you a more interest-
ing companion to this lad as
well. *
When you feel your heart is
breaking, keep it to yourself.
Go through the motions of liv-
ing, and before ,long they will
have some meaning again, A
letter to Anne Hirst can bring
you comfort and courage. Write
her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St.,
New Toronto, Ont.

WRITTEN FROM East Anglia
Well, I had to read throtigh
a carbon copy of 'last week's:
column, to find out, where I had)"
been. and where I said I was
going next. So now we proceed
to Bath. This was for:the pur-
pose of visiting my cousin-81—
who lives in a private home for
the aged; and also my aunt-in-
law, 84, who lives in a big house
by herself. I passed the famous,
Roman Baths but did not have
time to visit them. ,
My trip to Bath was by motor-
coach from Swanage—by way of''
Bournem,outh, Christchurch, New
Forest, Warminster, Salisbury,
Bradford-on-Avon and , smaller
places. As we name through
New 'Forest there were dozens
of Forest ponies roaming the '
road. The coach-driver had to
weave his way in and out among
them as some of them would not
budge an inch. One little foal
was lying stretched out in the
grass alongside the road. A fel-
low-passenger told ' .me' these
ponies are often quite' a:nuisance
to farmers in the district. ,They,
-invade fields, barnyards and
gardens. If gates and doors are.
left open they are quite likely
to walk into any farm kitchen
that is handy.
Every fall there is a round-up
of ponies for identification. Some
are banded, others have their ..,
tails trimmed, in a certain way.
Needless to say many farmers
think the ponies are quite 'a
nuisance but they are definitely
a great tourist attraction. As I
saw them wandering around the
roads 1 wondered how long they
would be tolerated by 'motorists
on our Canadian highways!
Speaking of motorists I don't
think there could be better
drivers anywhere than those I
have seen in the English and
Scottish districts I have visited,
The place where my cousin
lives is in an isolated district off
the main road, six miles from
math, so I was told by the coach
driver that I would have to get
off the bus and take a local
train!
"Aroma", home for the aged,
stands erred acres and acres of
its own grounds. It was once
an old Manor House and the
setting was breath4aking in its
beauty. Every window looked
out upon well-kept lawns- and
gardens and beyond the gardents
trees and more trees growing
on a grassy slope leading to a
very high peak among the hills.
There Were birds everywhere I
even saw a little Wed English•
robin whose only fesereiblance to
