LESSON'S IN PENMANSHIP. XXI. 



IN our last lesson in Penmanship, in Copy-slip No. 57 (page 

 317), were given the elementary strokes of which the letter k is 

 composed ; and in Copy-slip No. 76, on the opposite page, the 

 learner will find this letter in its complete form. In writing the 

 letter k, a straight-stroke is first made, and then a stroke of 

 peculiar form is added to it, which somewhat resembles a 

 brace ^~, and which may be considered to be a modified form 

 of the top-and-bottom-turn, made by turning the pen in to the 

 left just before reaching the line c c, and then, after forming a 

 very small loop, out towards the right, and finishing as in the 

 ordinary bottom-turn, as shown in Copy-slips Nos. 75 and 76. 

 In Copy-slip No. 77, in the word kafir, the letter k is shown 

 in conjunction with a letter that follows it. There is no neces- 

 sity for giving an example of the method of joining it to any 

 letter that precedes it, since, as it begins with a straight-stroke, 

 the method of connecting letters with others into whose com- 

 position the straight-stroke enters, may be seen from Copy-slips 

 Nos. 59 and 60 (page 261). It may be remarked, for the 

 benefit and satisfaction of such of our readers who may not have 

 met with the word before, that the "Kafirs" are a fine and
