GRAPHOLOGY OR PEN PORTRAITS.
Any reader of the New Zealand Graphic can have his or her character sketched by sending a specimen of bandwriting 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.
‘ Starlight.'—Much truthfulness, candour, and general ‘ openness ’ of disposition are strong characteristics in your handwriting. You are exceedingly warm-hearted, demonstrating your affection by word and deed, and liking to receive a full return. There are indications of slight impulsiveness, yet patience and good temper are so plainly perceptible, that although your actions may be prompted by kindly impulse rather than the result of deliberate forethought and observation, you are neither hasty nor imprudent, and it is not easy to disturb your equanimity. Your firmness is beyond dispute, but you are willing to listen to reason, and quite free from prejudice, as your intelligence is clear, and you evidently possess a large share of excellent common sense. You rarely give advice without fully understanding the subject on which your opinion is required, or pass judgment before you have heard both sides of the question in discussion. Courage, moral and physical, is well represented. You are brave and contented, rather than ambitious. Practical, steadfast and trustworthy, and neither impressionable nor imaginative ; but honest and matter of fact, you say at all times exactly what you think if put to the test, and although considerate for individual sensibilities, you are indifferent to general opinion. A love of method and order, especially in business transactions, are very perceptible, but there is room for a little more energy.—
Marcella.
