My subject this afternoon may have some direct and important bearing upon all of yon-that of Monograms and Calligrams, that of one's personality, and that of one's individuality. But previous to the commencement of my talk on this subject I am desirous to point out to you that all these exhibits here do not and are not meant to reveal my artistic abll- ity but are merely destined as illustrations which may serve the purpose of illustrating to you the structural characterizations of well "balanced designs and monograms.

BIG LITIGATION CONCLUDED

Parties Come To Agreement

WES

The half-a-million dollar estate litigation which opened at the Supreme Court on Monday brought to an abrupt conclusion yesterday when an agreement was reached between the parties' con- cerned and an order to that effect was made by His Honour the Chief Justice. Bir Atholl MacGregor.

When the Court opened yester- day morning, and just as Mr. H. G. Sheldon, K.C., was

about to put a witness into the box, Mr. Eldon Potter, E.C., told the Court that he was prepared to make un order for settlement. He said that there was little doubt that a trust fund of some sort had been creat- ed, and hoped to establish beyond all doubt that the scheme of divi- sion sanctioned by the man who created the trust was that the estate be divided into tenths, with three parts going to the ancestral fund and the remaining seven divided between branches of the family in the matic, one, three.

Mr. Potter said that his offer was that the ancestral fund divi- sion be taken and divided equally among the three branches of the family, making their proportions, two. four, four."
