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 nom 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. ‘ Margarie Daw.’ —If the specimen you send me be in your usual handwriting you have a character so original as to border on eccentricity, and it contains so many contradictions that I think I must state my convictions and leave you to arrange them. You are independent and self-reliant in action and thought, yet you like praise and popularity, and value good appearances. You possess much imaginative and creative power. You are very fond of music, and I picture you as a brilliant performer, and capable also of composing and improvising, although, of course, you may not have attempted either. You are energetic, prompt and decided in your opinions, quick and impatient in temperament, sensitive and easily offended, or even wounded, yet perfectly able to take your own part and assert yourself when necessary. You are rapid in thought and movement, and your mental capacities ate very good. You like consideration, attention, and admiration, and generally obtain a full share. You have strong affections, but you see no beauty in self-sacrifice, and you are much too sanguine and hopeful to believe in the efficacy of ‘ wasting in despair.’—Marcella.

‘John Bull.’—l am always delighted to hear that my delineations have been correct, as my correspondents, being invariably unknown to me, I generally have to remain in ignorance, and although I consider graphology infallible, Ido not pronounce myself to be so. Your character is remarkable for honour, uprightness, and a love of method and order. You are neither hasty nor impulsive, but accurate, consistent, and reliable. You possess firmness, determination of a quiet kind, and perseverance, but you are deficient in self-confidence, and by no means do justice to your own capabilities. You are almost too cautious and reserved. You have a particularly affectionate disposition. Of this lam positively certain, but you are never demonstrative, and although you observe much, you say little, and excel far more in writing than in conversation. Your temper is good, and your mind well regulated. You have clear and decided opinions, but you are open to conviction, and your judgment always leans to mercy’s side. You have literary tastes, are a great admirer of beauty, and have an intense dislike to cruelty of any sort or description.—Marcella.
