About  ten years later I fell under the spell of some 
English young men who were  very good at italic and I got an Osmiroid pen 
and Pelikan ink and added  that to the mix.  I rather like my writing

My friend, Nettie, who lives in Canterbury, has a wonderful italic  hand
which she learned in boarding school.  I am amused (and amazed)  at
seeing such as grocery lists that are so beautiful they call out for
framing.
 
In my father's generation (born: 1880), the ideal was "Spencerian,"
a rather florid version of common cursive in the USA today.  He  retained
little of that as he got older, but his sisters writing looked like  
something
you'd find on a wedding invitation.
 
Oddly, all four brothers and my father's handwriting were nearly  identical.
