full face signifies fun loving nature, and
fondness for the good things oflife, and

spasmodic nature, everything by turns,
and nothing long. The straight nose, in
dictates decisive character, the pug, an
afectionate. but an inconstant nature :;
the bottle nose a strong but blunt charac-
ter. A man may be known by his walk,
by the tone of hisvoice, by his Dress by
his method of wearing his hair, as we'll as
by the company he keeps. These are all
signs that he hangs out, whether he will
or no, and he may be known and read of
