A Course in Ornamental Penmanship
One of the important things in
ornamental penmanship is to secure
good ovals. Generally the ovals are
either horizontal or on the main
slant. All letters are composed of
ovals and straight lines.
In this specimen you will find
many very skillfully made ovals.
Notice the first oval in the L. It is
a horizontal oval swung around the
main part of the letter. The main
part of the letter is in the center of
the oval.
In the H. W. Furman signature

ovals or parts of them. Give much
of your attention to forming good
ovals.
Another important thing to watch
is getting the spaces cut up into
comparatively equal parts. There
should be no small crowded nor large
open spaces. All letters should be
equally flourished.
The Furman signature is the best
balanced signature in the group. The
Williams signature is a skillful one,
but is rather heavily flourished in
the beginning part for the last part
of the name.

Use a well adjusted oblique peii'
holder and a Fine Writer pen. A
stiff pen will not spread easily and
will soon be ruined by heavy shading.
Cultivate a light touch and a free,
graceful swing. Skill acquired in
ornamental will carry over into your
business writing.
