GRAPHOLOGY OR PEN PORTRAITS.
Any reader of the New Zealand Graphic can have his or her character sketched by sending a specimen of handwriting with signature or noni de plume to MADAME MARCELLA, ‘ Graphic ’ Office, Auckland. The coupon appearing on the last page of cover of the Graphic and twenty-four penny stamps must accompany each letter. Tawhera. —In some points your character much resembles the one under the «o»» de plume of ‘Enhora.’ You also have wonderful strength of will and determination. You have keen perceptive faculties and your judgment is excellent, but you are never hasty in forming your opinions, although when formed you are most tenacious in maintaining them, and I fear I must say a little obstinate. You are very warm-hearted and ever ready to perform a benevolent action, but at the same time you possess both prudence and discretion and you are very seldom deceived or imposed upon in any way. You have a large share of ambition, and are well calculated to succeed in life, and also to take care of yourself, but you are neither selfish or egotistical. Your tastes are intellectual, and your mental powers above the average. You are liberal and thoroughly sincere, neither imaginative, sensitive, or restlessly energetic. You have a decided love of rule, but nevertheless I am sure you are a general favourite, especially with the Lords of Creation. —Marcella. ‘ C.C.’—The handwriting under this nnm-de-plume is difficult to delineate, and I am also doubtful as to the sex of the writer. However, the characteristics would be the same. ‘C.C.’ is affectionate, and in many respects unselfish, but he is wanting in firmness, decision, and stability of purpose. He is quick and active in mind and body. His intentions are kind and good, but he has not the necessary strength of will and perseverance to carry them out and bring his plans to perfection. He is imaginative, and prone to fancy himself slighted, and notwithstanding the feeble will power, it is almost impossible to eradicate an idea which has once taken possession of his mind. His judgment is defective, and although kind-hearted, his affection is not of a durable type. He is economical and industrious, has much Dride of a certain kind, and is by no means easy to understand ; while at times he can keep his own counsel admirably.—Marcella.
