Your
Handwrting
Tells
Take life with
a grin
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master

Dear Dorothy: It's hard
for me to work with others.
When it comes to business
discussions or serious con-
versation, 1 get teed off. I
don't think people like me
very well. — M.V.
Dear M.V.: One easy way
to rebuff people is to feel
that everything must grav-
itate toward your way of
thinking.
You don't like discus-
sions because you're not
ctut-atJ
accepting of the ideas of
others, seen in the squeezed
e loops (they're so squeezed
they look like undotted i's).
You're not willing to admit
that others have opinions,
too, that might be worthy
of some attention. It's only
your own convictions that
matter.
The absence of lower
loops says that you're a
loner. Your self-possessed
nature, combined with dig-
nity, seenin your vertical
writing and retraced is
and d's, give you the out-
ward appearance of being
standoffish and quite unap-
proachable.
You're an intelligent
person, but you need a lot
more bend. Without give,
one is tense, and when one

is tense, one gets "teed
off"
So, why not try to take
life with a bit of a grin? It
can help you relax and be-
lieve me, it's a lot more fun
that way.
Besides that, it gives you
a more flexible mind with
enough elasticity to take in
another perm's point of
view.
You'll like yourself a
whole lot better.
And others will like you
too.

With the popularity of
coloring and cut-out books
comes one from Bellerophon

Dolls" comprising the
Queen, the Queen Mother,
Prince Philip, the Prince of
Wales, Princess Anne,
Prince Andrew, and Prince
Edward. These are all for
cutting out, coloring and
putting together.
There is no text and in
many cases no directions as

look very much like their

Q. What can you tell me
about this vase? It is
marked with the name
"TECO," as shown in the
enclosed sketch. The vase
is 9 inches tali and has a
green background with
raised flowers and leaves.
A. This was made by
W.D. Gates who founded
the Terra Cotta Tile Works
in 1881.
Your vase was probably
made around the turn of
the century and would sell
in the $125 to $150 range.

A funny thing happened on
the way to divorce.
You know the father who
didn't get custody and who
wasn't around too much any-
way and what's to miss?
The kids missed him.
For what?
He didn't breathe with his
mother when the child was
born. He was out in the lobby
having a cigarette with a guy
who sold real estate.
He never knew where the
diapers were and when he
burped the baby it felt like he
had a brick in his hand.
When the kids sat on the curb
and waited for him to come
home from work, all he did
was rub his hand through
their hair and say, "How's it
goin', kid?" That was it. He
did the same thing to the dog
only with him, he teased him
by holding his jaws shut.
Whenever a child cried,
you know what he did? He
yelled to the mother, "Some-
thing's wrong. He wants
you." He never figured the
child wanted him.
Sometimes, he looked like
he wanted to kiss the chi
dren, especially when
were hurt or at bedtime ut
he sorta hung back. . of of
times you got a `felling he
didn't think he was im-
portant. He was just some -

one to wait until he got home
so he could give the kids
what -for.
As a mother, I wonder
what is that magical elusive
quality that children see in
their fathers. Is it the
strength of the hands they
trust never to drop them
when they are thrown into
the air?
Is it the cahn he brings to a
volcanic confrontation
where he asks the children
what they think before he
makes a judgment?
Maybe they see the fear
that is deep inside that never
surfaces or the tear that is
there but never shed, or per-
aps the love that is rarely
accompanied by words.
1 honestly don't under-
stand it. As mothers we are
taught that love and respect
has to be earned. I know
what father's don't do, but
what is it they do to earn that
respect and love?
Without ironing a. shirt,
baking a birthday cake, ad-
ministering a bandaid or
reading a story, they occupy
t place in a child's life at the
""mmit of hie aevi ipoef.
Is it possible children
sense a unique human being
who was there at the
beginning and will remain
until the end and will not be a
mother .. . but will fulfill
that rare role that is father?
I don't understand it.
But the kids do.
