He may be able to help you, as he has help ed many others.) . . 1 have recently had some very in teresting letters "from readers who would'like'.'torkhdw something about different phases of handwriting an alysis. I am therefore going to deal with a few of these inquiries in this articler-because-'I~ am "sure- that they- will interest a large number of my readers. Is a signature alone sufficient for you to analyse niy character from? .Well, if you went to a photogra pher to get your photograph taken, and he only ’snapped’ -your feet, you would wonder what was the matter with him,-wouldn’t you? This may seem a trifle’ridiculous to use as an analogy to your Question, but there is. a resemblance. However, the question you ask is quite justifi able, . because mafny people - do be lieve that a signature alone will <re- ■ veal' their character. However., a pig-, -naturealoneis NOT sufficient to an- alyse the -writer’s character." ^ Very "often, a signature is more what the writer thinks he Is, Or wha> he would, like to be, rather than what he ac tually is. Not. frequently, indeed,- you will notice that a person’s signature is quite different from the -remain der of the writing! and 1 have seen some of the most ordinary, conven tional . writing, ’ revealing a very un assuming character, and then the signature has been a mass of whirls and twists. The reason for this is simply that the writer puts all his repressed desires to - “be someone” into his signature. With the whole of the writing before one, it is not difficult to see the real character be- hind the writing, but signatures are so often deceptive that I do not like to analyse a . person’s character merely from, a signature. ■ • ......

But there is by no means un animity of opinion as to the Extent to which handwriting is a reliable in dication of health symptoms, and this phase of graphology is undergoing a good de.a-1 of research, and must re main indefinite for sOine time to come.
