 " Ladies' Hand," because this pointed kind of writing ia com-

 the shortness of their loops and tails, while the Utter is nsn&lly 

 larger and spreads over much space, while the tails and loop* 

 of the letters are long and straggling. It most be remembered 

 that in pointing out these as tho chief points of differ* : 

 the handwriting of men and women, wo are only speaking
