CHARACTER READING FROM PHOTOGRAPHS.

(S? Phiz.)

LSu.bsori.bers desirous of haying their characters read from photographs may forward cabinets or cartes-de-viaite (the former preferred) for thafc purpose, addressed to ' Phiz,' Oesbk. veb Office, Auckland. Where the return of the photos is desired, postage stamps should accompany them. No charge will be made for character reading.!

L.D. — You are. cheerful, very good tempered, kindly, firm of will, warm of heart, observant, a capital manager and a good friend. I think you must be popular amongst your circle of acquaintances.

C.S.N.— Anotlw old and faded photo ! You are a mffn of much strength of will, and of rather strong passions. You are seoretive, thoughtful, rather irritable. You probably possess mechanical tastes and I should not be surprised if you have a tarn for invention — latent or developed. You like to go your own way about things and are impatient of restraint.

M.J.G — You are a girl of strong will. You are hot-tempered and do not readily 'forgive and forget.' You are of a jealous disposition, and you are very fond of dress and display. You are a quick observer and a quick learner. You can say very sharp things when you are offended or annoyed, and you are rather quick to take offence. W.JR.B., Queen-street. — You- omitted to mark the photo of your friend, for identification, bo I have used your'own initials. The photo is that of a levelheaded young fellow, with a strong love of fun, quiet as he looks. He is firmwilled, knows his own mind all the time; he is cautious, likes to look . before he leaps, and he is observant, and the girls all like him. That's his character to a ' t '. Ida, Te" Aroha. — Quite a pretty girl ! You have a good forehead, Ida', and a well- - shaped chin, showing firmness and decision of character. And what a ' pretty little mouth 1 I am afraid you are a bit of a flirt. Your heart is in the right place, but your temper is quick. Stupid or dull people make you impatient. There is nothing of the ' doll ' about you. You are quick, intelligent, sharp-witted— but you like' a bit of fun, all the same. A.J.C. — Yes, the photo is small and faded. But anything is considered good enough to send me for character reading, I find. Well, persons sending such photos have only themselves to blame if the reading is not so accurate as it would otherwise be. All my great successea — and I have made scores — have been with good, plain, fresh photos. I will do what I can for you. You are of a cheerful and hopeful disposition, inclined to look at the bright Bide of things, although trouble has left its mark upon you. You are thoughtful, sincere, fairly determined, kindly and gentle.

|. Phiz' is always pleased to hear from Correspondents whose photos he has * read ' and to learn whether they consider such reading is correct or otherwise. He is already in receipt of numerous letter, testifying to his remarkable accuracy as a character-reader."!

' W.H. W. writes us from New Plymouth : — ' Lord Vivian's dream, vide your issue of 27fch ult., reminds me of a dream of my own, which always makes my teeth water for the little fortune I might have made had I had the same confidence that Lord V. had.

'The night before the Melbourne Cup- (I forget the date, but you will know it) was run on, I did not know there was such a horse as Malua entered, I took so little interest-in the event. But, in spite of my want of knowledge, in my dream I saw a beautifully clear and perfect picture of the Melbonrne course with its thousands of summer-clad people, stretching themselves forward as far as possible, excitedly watching the horses approaching the winning post, cheering, waving handkerchiefs, and shouting " Hurrah, hurrah ! A Malua wins! Malua wins !"

' Before breakfast I, for a joke, advised sporting friends to invest on Malua, giving my reason. But they couldn't see it, neither could I. After breakfast I took up the morning paper, and to my surprise the first thing that caught my eye was a telegram announcing that Malua had gone to the top in the betting, and in the evening a telegram came announcing his victory. This,./ am sure, you will regard as rather singular — although it does not come from a lord. The more so as I am not a sporting man, and did not know what horats were entered for the said Cup. '
