No. 13-~Tirau. THIS writing bears the note "left hand." It is not clear whether this means that the writer is naturally left handed, or whether this specimen is written with the left hand just to see what can be read from it. However, characteristics, like murder, will out! This is the hand of a truly musical and artistic person with original ideas. Intelligence is above the ordinary, with a quick sense of humour and an interest in the occult and wmysterious, There is impatience here, a little weakness in purpose or will power, but on the other hand the upright handwriting reveals a certain in‘dependence and ability to look after personal affairs and interests. Intuition is marked here and a sense of colour. No, 14-S.B. THIS is the handwriting of a friendly sympathetic soul fond of animals and children, shown by the slant of the letters. There is energy here, but the life has been a little repressed, making the writer sensitive and somewhat reserved. A good buyer, with some shrewdness. Quick, intuitive judgment is shown by the separated letters -in many of the words. The numerals are well made, and from this would. deduce that the writer had good business ability and regard for method. Has de scriptive power and when interested in a subject can talk quite fluently.

No. 15-Sceptical. HA small, neat handwriting of a precise thinker. Energy here and love of the outdoors. Would throw himself enthusiastically into anything he took up, after first having been satisfied of its value. Foresight and calculation is shown in combination with enthusiasm. This is the writing of a person who would first investigate carefully and then become a valuable champion. The judgment is excellent and every care of detail would be given in his work. It is a good business hand, and the terminal of the surname, having a downward stroke and then an outward one, indicates that the first instinct is that of defence and afterward, quite capable of taking a. positive attitude. Quite a good conversationalist, connects his ideals well, has logical reasoning mind, yet able quite quickly to arrive at a decision. No. 16-J.B. I have J.B.’s second letter, and note from it that J.B. possesses rather an inferiority complex, I am sure the writer need not fear »ny compromising disclosures. There is some introspection and anxiety regarding actions. An affectionate person, too, with quite a romantic outlook. Caution is marked in the dots appearing fairly closely above the "i’s.’ A sensitive person, quick to sense any criticism on the part of others. These remarks can be added to the first reading. No. 17--Winterless. This is the handwriting of a person, refined, and with spiritual tendencies. The taste is artistic, as the capitals are all simply formed and in good proportion. The nearer the approach to the printed type, the more artistic is the taste of the writer. There is also a sense of humour. A pleasant, bright manner is depicted, though a little impatience is indicated. Perhaps it is only momentarily, This is shown by the "t’s" being crossed lightly and in advance of, instead of right across, the upright stroke of the letter. This person has foresight and is very conscientious. A good manager whose household affairs would run smoothly: not extravagant, but would not be given by any means to "skimping." Would be worthy of being made a confidant in any serious matter for the "a’s" and ‘‘o’s" are all fairly well closed at the top, No. 18-John. The writing of a rather serious person, inclined to the -scientific side. Even the religious outlook would be influenced by this tendency and any

form of metaphysics or psychology would appeal. A conscientious person, careful of detail. Would be ‘neat and particular about personal appearance. An economical person, not believing in waste. Would look before leaping. Logical reasoning mind, reliable and trustworthy, sense of honour good. Refined tastes, anything sordid or crude would offend. Slightly nervy, energetic, but with some reserve and caution. No. 19-Miss H. This is the handwriting of one who is not very young nor very strong. She has not had many of the luxuries of life, but always there is the courage to smile and keep on. The will power is not marked, and the writer would have to depend somewhat upon others for a lead. Sympathy, though, is here, and a certain romantic, wistful outlook. No. '20-Lanarkshire. From the painstaking character of this handwriting would deduce that the writer was not a very quick thinker, nor very highly educated, yet there is some method indicated, and the fairly skilful figures give the impression that the writer had some little experience in*handling figures in some clerical fashion. There is some stubbornness indicated in the knotted "t’s" and the deliberate type of writing The artistic formation of capitals shows an aptitude for decoration and design. No. 21-Ratio. Ratio has a tendency to be rather introspective and interested in the occult and mysterious. The will power is good and an independent character is indicated by the upright writing. The judgment is good and intelligence high. A very neat, carefully-copied document, showing quite an aptitude for clerical work. Energy is displayed by the large loops to the "y’s" and "G@’s.% A good talker, quite bright and chatty. Affectionate but would not be imposed on. Cautious in some ways and careful of detail, Ratio is proud and rather sensitive. Ne. 22-Laddie. A quickly written script, showing facility in expression and experience in the use of the pen. It is an excellent handwriting for a bookkeeper or confidential clerk. Good judgment and practical business ability. A generous hand, one interested in his fellows. Sense of humour is keen and fondness for amusing stories is evident. Observation is marked. Wnergy and enthusiasm are here coupled with a little impatience. This impatience may be temporary, as caution is denoted by the closely dotted "i’s,’
