Does Your Handwriting Spell Success? O what extent is our pen-personality an index of mental equipment and the capacity for achievement? William Leslie French, the chirographic expert, says he can tell by one’s handwriting whether the writer is, or will be, successful, and in a fascinating article in Leslie’s Weekly for May 27th, he explains his methods by an analysis of handwriting specimens gathered from both successful and unsuccessful men and women. This is only one of a galaxy of notable features in this issue of Leslie’s. For instance, China is in the throés of a formidable civil war. In an illuminating article Guy Morrison Walker, noted authority on the Far East, tells what the conflict is about and what its objects are. Now that the aquatic season is under way, Edwin A. Goewey’s article on the remarkable feminine advancement in swimming is unusually timely. Le Roy Jeffers, F.R.G.S., reveals some interesting new facts about the amazing onyx cavern that has been discovered in Kentucky and which rivals the famous Mammoth Cave. Then there is another interesting installment of Theodore Waters’ series, ‘“Brokers and Breakers,’’ exposing the pitfalls dug for the unwary by the bucket shop swindlers. Also, there are Leslie’s ever-popular regular features—the Radio Department, the Investment Bureau and the Motor Depart- ment, and terse, forceful editorials by Samuel Hopkins Adams. And a page of chuckles, too—‘‘As We Were Saying,’’ by Arthur H. Folwell, with Nature Studies by W. E. Hill. And last, but not least, plenty of corking pictures of people and events at home and abroad. If you don’t get Leslie’s every week you are missing things worth while in the way of entertaining and informative reading.
