Do you mean like this : "Ros" ? Back when schools actually taught worthwhile stuff like penmanship, as opposed to all this computer junk which NOBODY will ever use, (LOL), that's how they taught our grandparents to make the leading "s" in a "double-s" situation. Just sort of a flourish, to give the writing a "cultured" look. One of my teachers back in Tennessee, Miss Ursula Lee Smith (6th & 8th grades, & high-school freshman English) used to write like that, (in the 1940's and '50's) and it was very impressive ! That lady had CLASS !
