AND BLACK RINTING, which is the art of impressing upon paper or other substance the character of the letter coated with ink, was invented by 1438. It was not until 145-1 or 1455 that a book was published. Gutenberg and his scribe, S-ehoeffer, overcame enormous diffi- culties when they first attempted to pri11t. They had to invent an ink thick enough to stick to the type, a press in which to print the page., and a scheme by which the type could he fastened in the press. And even with this crude, cumbersome equip- ment it took years to pub- lish their iirst book. Since that time print- ing has undergone ,some changes in the machinery, and the efficiency is much greater in consequenceg but the basic principle of types coated with i11k be- Tl-IE ART OF PRINTING ' By Ralph Bording 5165 f on tlzid L sv, cfgli- I Amir!

To Schoeffer is given the credit of cut- ting the first type. The punch was made first, and from this the matrix. The matrix was placed in the mold face down and molten metal pou1'ed into the mold. For making type this method is still used. Black letter was the first face cut, of which the German type is the direct descendant. lt was Jen- sen that first made a suc- cess of the Roman letter which is now used every- where except ill Germany. Some of the type-founders who have left their mark on type fashions are Van Dyke, Elzevir, a11d the English founder, Caslon.

To all of them, it seemed that the interminable minutes would never end. But. finally there eame the sound of an automobile, and footsteps coming up the walk. The door opened and Stephen ad- vanced proudly with Anne on his arm. And in that moment Theodora saw the faintly apprehensive look that had lain deep in her mother's eyes melt away be- fore Anne's impetuous onrush. Then she saw ber father clapping his big' son on the back and taking' Anne into his arms as if she were already his daughter. And Ted, the irrepressible, was enthusiastically shaking her hand. And to think that she had doubted this big' brother of hers who hated all pretense! To think that she had thought, that he roula' have brought home a wife who would deem them old-fashioned! And as she, too, turned to greet the girl who shared her brotheris love with her, she saw that in Anne's eyes was only love- ligrht and that she was smiling, through tear-wet lashes, at the picture of a little boy in kilts who smiled baek at her from behind a bowl of red dahlias. fxxiiii nwxi M1 2' ii.- awp U44 : QPR?
