THE DOT ON THE I.


A Point In the Art of Decfphering Char
acter from Handwriting.
Do you put the dot high above the letter
IL Do you put it close to the-ietter? Do
you send itfying before? Is it fat, round,
Irregular? In each case your popularity is
the outward and visible sign of some lido
syncrasy, says a master in the art of graph
ology. Look mt the dots of your i; try to
make them different-smaller, larger,
rounder, more oblonR-you cannot do it.
The dot above the only changes with your
character"
Here are some conclusions which the
authority quoted says the ladies may draw
from the telltale dot:
If you often forget to dot your you will
also forget other things which seem unim-
portant to you, but which for the comfort
of everyday life are as necessary as the dot
is to the i. If you have often to look in vain
for the dot you will also look often in vain
for other things, because you have not put
them in their proper place. For instance,
you put the fifth knitting needle into your
book because you were suddenly called
away and no better book mark was at
hand. You were anxious to finish your
sock-where is the fifth needle2 The serv-
ant girl must have mislaid it while dust

der to practice patience and self control you
knit on with four needles, gently pardon
ing" and presently turn back to your in
teresting novel. The book opens imme-
diately. and there and then the glittering
needle breaches silent sermon to you.
If the dot flies high above and far away
from the letter to which it belongs, your
hopes, thoughts, wishes and aspirations are
apt to fly about in far off regions, and in
stead of making practical use of the pres
ent day you dream of the ideals OF the
future. If this "high flown dot is of an
oblong shape; and if, in conjunction with
it, the loops of your /, h, G, f, etc, are loose
and long, then goodby symmetry and calm,
for you have very little self control.
If your husbands dots are heavy, shape
less and blotchy you will have a hard time
of it where food is concerned. He will not
be satisfied with a cold supper, an aesthetic
tea or a meal of beef and vegetables. On
the other hand, you have in his favorite
dishes means to pacify the grumbler, and
to incline him to listen to your wishes
Your request for a new gown, for theater
tickets, which was peremptorily refused
before dinner, is listened to with much

such a man to grant you a favor when he
is waiting for his dinner. The larger the
dots appear the more critically a dish will
be attacked and judged.
