Tem per under control means a powerful dynamo which can be nsed to great spiritual ends, or great work needing force. It Is t e m p e r . S00 which is full of sll0rt clrcults tnat ls dangerous. Thrt e signs of Temper. he ..stbboru an(1 "engergetlc" writer indicate temper, but loss of temper ls seen in loss of l. Couple these signs with t bars which fly off the handle in angular letters, and we see a writer who "flies off the handle" Just as does his t bar. People who are ready to get into arguments often make t bars which are Inclined to slant downward. If the t bar is heavier at the beginning than at the end temper may be quickly lost, but will not last long in the memory. If the t bar is heavier at the end than at the beginning, such a person will not show his temper so quickly, but will hold on to a grudge longer than the person who pens the other type of bar. The bar increasing toward the end In size shows tenacity of purpose. If the writer is of a high mental type he would not hold on to grudges, but would use his tenacity in his purpose of life would transfer his "temper" energy to hi work.

You have often heard this said. The person gives himself away in several ways through his writing and the simplest and most conspicuous sign is to be found in the capital C. Search for this letter and then turn it upside down. If the person is generous and very considerate of others, you will find a certain curl to this letter that will appear exactly in a heart form. If the person has the interest of the multitude at heart, thus showing a lack of selfishness, you may look for the last part of the letter m to be higher than the other parts. If the writing is large, without a mussy scrawled appearance, you will also find the writer who thinks first of che other fellow and then of himself. Writing that is very small indicates a v.'sion that Is limited. Thus the writer dtes not go very far away from home or himself in bought. This does not necessarily indicate that he is selfish, as he will, perhaps, lavish much on those who are close to him. But as a rule he does not go out of his way to find a place to bestow his attentions and help.
