It gives you unexpected protection. At the start of World War II when air mail was not so common as it is today, a letter reached me late one afternoon. It was from a woman who had been trained in graphology, and it contained a number of sheets of a love letter. I do not have any right to analyze this writing,” she wrote. “It is my daughter’s fiance and she wants you to give a thorough analysis. We both feel that because she is my daughter I might be influenced, and this is important.’*

Examination of the handwriting showed that the writer was a scoun­drel, and might easily be a murderer. It was not an opinion. The hand­writing revealed the picture as clearly as an x-ray could have done. So the report was made, mailed, as requested, air mail and special delivery.

A few days later another letter brought the rest of the story. The young man was a stranger in the community, but he and the young woman had met, fallen in love, and were to be married almost at once. Then, as a matter of possible curiosity, the daughter let her mother read a letter and the mother was appalled by what she found. Result, the mother and daughter agreed to submit the handwriting to another analyst, and quite naturally selected the mother’s teacher. That analysis undoubtedly saved the young woman’s happiness, and possibly her life, for shortly after the engagement was broken the police from another state arrested the fellow as a criminal and took him back to the scene of his crimes.

You will get such protection for your life as you are a handwriting expert. You will not get it by merely skimming through these pages, getting some of the rules in mind, and confusing others. Study the rules, and the example of handwriting, and then use what you learn. For more than thirty years students of graphology undertaking professional train­ing have been advised not to believe what they have found in lesson books just because it is in print. When you learn something, test it, prove it and then you have it even if your books are destroyed.
