Each of our features is supposed to have
language--eyes, nose and mouth. But the
language of tho hair has been formulated In
tho following manner Straight, lanlS, stingy-
looking hair indicates weakness aud coward
ice. Curly hair denotes quick temper
Frizzy hair, set OH ones head us if each in
dividual hair was ready to fight its neigh
bor, denotes coarseness. Black hair denotes
persistent resolution In accomplishing nm
object, also a strong predisposition to avenge
wrongs and insults, real or fancied.
Brown hair denotes fonduess for life, a
friendly disposition ambition, earnestness of
purpose, capacity of business, reliability in
friendship in proportion as the hair Is fine
Worry fine hair indicates an even disposition, q
readiness to forgive, with desire to add to
happiness Of others. Persons with very fine
auburn hair inclined to curl or friz are quick
tempered and are given TO resentment or re-.
vengc. Light brown hair inclined to redness,
with frcckled skin, is certain indication Of
deceit, treachery and disposition to do some
thing mean to friend who can no longer be
used to advantage. We give the information
