Extravagance.—Wide margins and spacing, a rounded, rather flourishing hand; few stops; generally somewhat thick. Compare other signs.
Fun.—The love of fun is usually indicated by quaintly-rounded terminals and oddly shaped, and often rather illegible capitals.
Generosity.—Curled up terminals, bounded hand, M’s and N’s written like U’s.
Honor.—Even handwriting; might almost have been written over lines. See Candor; and for honesty also.
Imagination.—Good capitals; small d’s joined to following letter bear a hurried look; flying crosses to T’s.
Indolence.—Bounded hand; short terminals.
Intelligence.—Shown by the small attractive hand; clear and firm good capitals.
Jealousy.—A weak hand; sloping, long-looped, flyaway T’s; egotistic C’s.
Loyalty.—Of course you cannot expect to find much character in handwriting until the age of seventeen or so, but the lad who is loyal to his friends and his sense of duty—the typical Boy Scout’s hand, for example—will ever be found firm and boldly ascending the sheet.
Melancholy.—Downward tendency, not only to lines but even words.
