No. 1,-Mavis. A neat, small handwriting showing refinement and good taste. There is love of poetry and dancing. Some energy is shown by the slanting writing and long loops to "y’s" and "g’s," and outdoor games would appeal. A mild humour is displayed, not the sarcastic type, but more good natured. If is not an extravagant hand. Mavis would be careful as to what she bought. The finals to the words are not stressed. and the paper is used to a narrow margin on both sides. However, the character is not mean, but rather conscientious, for there is quite a generous little hand held out in the initial stroke of the capital Min Mavis. There is forethought indicated by the numerous initial letters which begin on the line and not. in the air. No, 2.-Joyce. This is the handwriting of someone with quite a lot of personality. The straight line underlining the name sig: nifies confidence in self and desire not to be overlooked. There is a lot of physical energy shown here by the long and strong loops to the "y’s" and "g’s."’ Mental energy and geverally cheerful outlook by the rising tendency of the writing. The little flying dashes that serve for "t" crossings speak of some impatience and quickness of action Joyce would be very generous by nature, but there is a tendency to cut off some of the finals to her words, which indicates that some economy is heing practised at the present time. There is love of colour and the beauties of nature. This person would not put

up with monotony, but would like to be trying out new enterprises. Very wifectionate, and would do quite a lot for those she cared for. Observant and quick witted, shown by the sharp pointed, small n’s, No. 3.-Youthful. There are two samples of handwritiug submitted with this application both using the same quotation. The one signed C. PB. P. seems to have heen written by someone who has noi fully developed their characteristics There is a youthful, unsophisticated air about it. The writing is somewhat slow in movement as if it had taken quite an effort to write. The rounded letters show good nature and love of the beautiful. There is-some original. ity here, too, in the quaint little curls that adorn the eapital letters. Love of decoration and appreciation of praise will likely be evident in the character. There is love of colour, and the arts will attract... There is some lack of initiative, but care and conscientious ess is shown. The writer has copied the older person’s writing exactly, in eluding some grammatical errors. No. 4.-Waitoa, Neat, running handwriting, showing care of detail and conscientiousness. nergy and sympathy is in the slant of this writing, and an attraction for the opposite sex. There is a regard for order and method shown by the way the letter is set out. An honest affectionate nature with high ideals and quite a spiritual outlook. Letters are all well and evenly formed, showing av even temperament, If interested in any project, will give generously, but circumstances at present seem to impose some restrictions. Some of the terminals to the words have quite a generous sweep, as in "Waitoa," at the top of the letter, also in "Wellington, while the terminal in "I" of "de Laval’ is ent rather short. A very reliable person who would make a good husband and father. No. 5.-AInterested. PHIS is the quick flowing handwriting of a person who has some facility in expression of ideas. Also it indicates by the cleverly fashioned figures which appear at the top-of the letter in date and box number, ability to handle ‘figures and some liking for them. Would make a good accountant. secretury or company manager, throwing himself enthusiastically into an) project that he took up. Likes to see things go with a swing, and would do his best to: make it so. Has confidence in his opinions, and would not like to be overlooked. Has a marked sense of humour and enjoys a joke, A sympathetic person with. some intuition, quick to seize an opportunity.

No. 6.-No. 1586. This is the handwriting of a practical, energetic person, whose judgment is generally good. This is shown by the quitk style of writing and even, regular margins observed in setting out the letter. Organising ability is shown by the type of small "g" used at the end of words. This organising ability is shown again in the skilful joining of "t’ bar to the initial letter of the next word, as in "that case," end of 18th line. This same sign is made iu the beginning of the next line in "the bride.’ Humanitarian ideals are expressed here, though circumstances ‘ye pather curbing them = at. preset. No. 7,-Spirited. The writer of this letter has had ‘ather a struggle in life, and her affairs have suffered in consequence. She has rather a buoyant spirit, however, and eourage which will take her a long way, She is quite a chatty person, and fond of company. She is not young, is old-fashioned. and a bit sentimental Is not particularly well at present. seen by the slight waviness of the lines. This writer is interested in psychic matters, and has some intuition herself. Her inquiry as to what next year will bring does not come within the scope of graphology. No. 8.-Reader. This is a neat, carefully-written specimen showing some calculation and deliberateness. This belongs to a very young person with a simple outlook on life. It is a copy-book style of handwriting which accompanies schoo! days. As’ graphology deals with the character as developed by experiences in life, it is difficult to give a very satisfactory reading to one whose character is being formed. Nevertheless, certain tendencies are evident. There is a love of the outdoor life and games. The writer would be better suited to the country than to the city. Though the writing is clear and conscientiously written, the writer is not as mentally observant as he should be. There are one or two mistakes in spelling in what is purported to be a quotation from de Laval’s article. There is generosity in this handwriting, love of the beautiful, honesty and simplicity. Plodding, but not forceful. No. 9.-Curious. This is the writing of a quick thinker. with mental energy and distinct literary and artistic gifts. Originality is marked and versatility also. Could turn his hand to anything. Organising ability is also shown by the curi-ously-turned little "g" at the end of such words as "handwriting," in the first line. ‘The education is above the average, and the imagination is highly developed. Confidence in self is indi(Continued next. page.)

Judgment is good, but there is some impatience in a nature that likes to be kept interested in some new enterprise. No. 10.-Beatrice. This handwriting has quite a lot of personality about it.
