NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Freud
is gentleman Of veracity and
Vienna, who practices telling peo-
pie what is the matter with them.
NFraud is something not alto
gether unheard Of in connection
with the practice Of law.
Freud may take the place Of
fraud in the legal profession. AL
ready legal eagles are spreading
their wings for trial flight into
modern psychology.
TO Talk On Character.
Mama L. TATE, who formerly was
a stenographer on The Washington
Times, has come to New York City
to lecture lawyers and any other
professional persons who don't
think they know too much already
-on the value to them of Character
Delineation. Miss Tafe will impress
her prospective students as an
agreeable young angel, hut in her
hand she will bear the flaming
sword Of modern science.
The art OF reading character,
Miss Tafe says to begin with, is
practiced by everyone, just like
breathing. UnconscicusIy or other-
wise, scientifically but seldom, each
of us reads the character of every
one with whom he comes In con-
tact. And as long as we're about
@npf ff af Ia =
we should do it better.
Office Boy Lone Oracle
Not lawyers alone, not only pro-
fessionaI people, need to know Of
character delineation but every
employer as well.
Why, asks Miss Tafe, should the
office boy be the lone oracle Of
the business temple?
Every employer thinks he reads
the character Of those who seek
to work for him but really
1T is often the office boy who
reads the applicants character.
IF you can get past him, that
is doing well. If you are denied
personal contact with prospective
employer, then your letter is the
face from which your character
will be read"
Lawyers will be found to be ly-
ing low on this question Of charac-
ter delineation, Miss Tafe de-
clares. The brief-case boys. in her
opinion, are really about the best
physiognomists and psychoanalysts
you could find working at anything
else. The use Of their own impress
sions Of talesmen In assembling the
twelve parts Of jury in such a way
that their own clients interests are
not thereby irritated.
True and False Readings
But they wouldn't like to have
you tell them this" says the
charming Miss Tafe who, IL we
may lapse into the pretty general
talent for reading character, could
tell adamant attorneys some harsh
;; facts and get away with 1t.
Character reading, like law and
medicine. has been abused, says
its young advocate.
Medicine has its 'quacks,' law
its 'shysters' and character delinea-
ton its exploiters.
But there must always be q
genuine thing before 1t can have
imitators.
Psychology In Law
Psychology now has a respect
able place in law. Frequently, in
important cases. it is referred to
with no lack of deference-and
when you think of it, ten years
ago this would have been con-
sidered absurd.
