FOR YOUR DINNER tT-Bone, Salad, Haeh Brown Potatoes, Coffee fAet'sPeOeMkLLunch Change in Character Shown by Changes in Handwriting By RUTH FOWLER BROWN INCE beginning my articles In The Bakersfleld Callfornlan a large number of letters have reached me from people who have observed differences In their handwriting.

Naturally, they are curious to learn the meaning of this changeability. "Sometimes I write backhand, sometimes vertical, and sometimes my writing slopes forward," they say. "What does thin mean?" Another writes, "Although I write a script like most people do, I prefer to print, because I can print faster than I cnn write." "Should I change my style of writing?" ask some. "I feel that my present style does not suit me." What Is the answer to this variability? Why does a person sometimes write one way. and sometimes another? What does It mean when a person can HO disguise his handwriting that even his beat friends cannot recognize it? FRATERNAL Royal Neighbors Meeting There will be a meeting Monday evening of Royal Neighbors In Eagles hall at 8 o'clock.

Plans will be completed for attending the "Hamlll golden Jubilee" in Portervllle, October 27, honoring Mrs. Christiana Hamlll. normally warmhearted person who has, for example, been deceived by a trusted friend, may "draw Into a shell" and, for a time, Is quite liable to write backhand. If the specimen of handwriting IN sufficiently long, the graphologist can tell from other signs the true conditions nnd will never accuse such a person of being "coldhearted." This Is one of the reasons why I ask for a specimen of at least six lines. A whole page Is preferable.

The ability to print (it a high rate of speed Is a sure sign of age mentality. No person of mediocre or ordinary Intelligence can consistently print both fast and accurately. The more that the script differs from the copybook, the greater the Individuality of the printing Is about as far from the copybook aa It As had been anticipated, the western premiere of "Emperor Jones" lost night at Hhrlne auditorium In Los Angeles, was a tremendous success with Lawrence Tlbbett, great American baritone, singing the title roje. One critic wrote of the event, "The western premiere of 'Emperor Jones' preceded by 'I Pagllaecl' last night marked a milestone In Los Angeles opera. Praise Star "The American opera sung by an American baritone and composed by an American proved a splendid success, "Lawrence Tlbbett displayed masterful Interpretive ability and dramatic force last night.

Los Angeles had expected much of him In this widely-heralded role and It was not disappointed. One of the largest audiences ever gathered In this city acclaimed him vociferously. Bnkcrsflold music lovers will have an opportunity to hear an excerpt from this famous opera that made operatic history, too, In New York and Chicago, when Tlbbett will sing here In a concert next Wednesday night at tho Fox theater. Bahymer Coming L. E.

Behymor, noted west coast Impresario, will arrive In Uakersfleld Sunday to confer with Rexton Reed, cousin of the famous baritone, and Mm. A. C. Tupman, who are acting as his agents In making arrangements for the local concert. Indications are that there will be standing room only at the concert, and Bakersfleld will also join tho record of other cities In acclaiming tho noted singer with unprecedented crowds.

Ten performances of "Emperor Jones" were given In New York alone and box office receipts were estimated at well over $100,000. Tlbbett was acclaimed by huge audiences at both Baltimore and Philadelphia as well us Chicago. Tlbbett, whose, concert season on the coast sang to an audience of 6200 persons In Seattle last Wednesday night. In Portland they stood up more than 1000 and turned many away, and the 0800-seat capacity of the -Shrine auditorium In Los Angeles Is too small to accommodate the demands made even with two performances of "Emperor Jones." Tlhbett Is graciously singing a request program here, and despite the more enticing financial Inducements elsewhere, he reserved a date eout of his busy season for the local concert. Tickets are on sale for the event at the Valley Music store.

Those who made reservations by telephone are requested to take up their tickets before Monday night.

To the eye, these all appear different but, graphologlcally, they are the same, Mere change In slope does not affect tho signs by which character Is judged. Backhand writing normally Indicates a cool, self-sufficient nature; vertical script Indicates sincerity and loyalty, while the forward ulope Indicates affection, generosity, sympathy and nervousness, depending upon the degree of the slope nnd the speed of the pen.

People who consistently write In these various methods may safely be said to possess the various characteristics mentioned other signs In the script agree. But slope alone may not be used as the final authority because slope Is Indicative of mood, not character. The handwriting to such an extent that oven close friends don't recognize It Is Indicative of the ability to deceive. Whether or not this ability Is actually used for the purpose of deception Is, of orfurse, another matter. The trait may bo entirely dormant, but It Is there and, In emergencies, is liable to rise to the surface.

Your own handwriting tells about your good traits, and your bad, your abilities and lack of them. To find out the truth about yourself, If you are not afraid of the truth, clip the coupon on this page nod send it to Mrs. Brown, together with (1) 3c stamped, self-addressed envelope, (2) In coin to cover tho cost of bundling anil (3) at least six lines of your normal handwriting. In addition to her analysis you will receive a copy of her valuable Vocational Chart without extra cost.
