A key to Lizzie B?

Graphology, the “pseudo-science” of deciphering personality attributes by analyzing handwriting samples provokes mixed opinions as to the validity of these observations.  The formation of letters, the slant of the writing, the way a “t” is crossed- and many other points come under the lens in formulating possible characteristics of the writer.

Janice Warren, master certified handwriting analyst, will present “You Are What You Write,” on Friday, June 18, at 6:30 p.m. at Christ Church, 57 Main St. in Swansea. The owner of “Different Strokes” in Fall River, Ms. Warren gives workshops for teachers and lectures for civic groups and cruise ships.

The program will feature discussion on various traits revealed in handwriting, samples of the rich, famous and infamous, including Lizzie Borden,  and will include audience participation by helping to analyze their personal handwriting samples.  This is far from the first time that Lizzie’s handwriting has been examined.  It will be interesting to see if Ms. Warren agrees with other graphologists.

Refreshments will be served after the program, and tickets may be purchased at the door or by calling Marsha at 508-678-6486. The fundraiser will benefit Christ Church outreach projects.
