Mimicry is an art which Miss Adams displayed recently be fore millions of TV viewers in her now famous imitation of Marilyn Monroe. Her new role, however, is tougher than copy ing Marilyn, the platinum blonde singer said. The blonde is named Daisy Mae. Girls have been pulling their hair back in pigtails, wear ing polka dot off -shoulder blouses and ragged shorts and going to parties as Daisy Mae almost since Miss Adams was born. "I always used to go to mas querade parties as Daisy Mae myself," said the singer, who grew up in Tenafly, N. J. Now, for the first time, the comic strip blonde will become part of a Broadway musical com edy 'L'il Abner," along with Abner and the other famed Dog patch characters. Miss Adams won the part over more than 200 other candidates and began re hearsing last week. The musical opens in Washington September 17 and on Broadway November 15. First came the problem of a hairdo. Miss Adams related in a restaurant interview which was constantly interrupted by young autograph seekers. The star, who is Mrs. Ernie Kovacs in private life, wore a tight, bright blue sheath dress and blue-tint-ed glasses. "This is my first day without bangs." she bagan, brushing at platinum blonde tresses that dangled over one evebrow. "Daisy Mae doesn't have bangs, so now I don't either." Her complete wardrobe for the show consists of a very short pair of black shorts, two Dolka dot blouses and one dress. Her eyes will be slightly pulled up at the outer corners as the comic strip blonde's are, and she will stand with one toe turned slight ly inward, Daisy Mae style.

Experts Agree That Penmanship Is Bad Chicago (U.R) A conven tion of handwriting experts agreed that modern penmanship is pretty bad, but opinions di verged .on the reasons why to day's writing is so sloppy. One expert pointed an accus ing finger at current styles in pen tips. These instruments have removed the distinctive shading that formerly characterized sig natures, he said. Another called for more con centration on the teaching of penmanship. "Even the teachers don't know how to write any more," he said. The fct that everyone Is taught to write alike with no emphasis on developing indi viduality in signatures is anoth er difficulty cited by the ex perts, who are all members of the American Society of Ques tioned Document Examiners. Two types of signatures have not risen or declined in quality, they said. Bankers and doctors wrote illegibly 20 years ago, and still 'do. And if they are laboring un der the impression that an odd signature discourages forgery.
