twetn the eyes in the manner so much ad-
mired By the Persians, denote a tempera-
ment ardent to love, but jealous and suspi-
ious.
Eyebrows somewhat higher at their start
ing point. and which pass in a long sweep
Ing line over the eyes, dropping slightly
downward at their termination. show artistic
feeling and great sense OF beauty in form.
The Empress Eugenle's eyebrows are Of this
form, which some old writers have asserted
to be the sign OF a violent death.
Eyebrows lying very close to the eyes,
forming one direct clear line on strongly
defined eye bones having the same forms,
show strength Of viii and extreme determi-
nation Of character. This sort of eyebrows
appears on the bust OF Nero; but then its in
dicatiOns of determinations arc deepened
into cruelty by the massive jaw and the de-
velopment OF the cheek bone By the. ear
This form OF eyebrow, in conjunction With
other good indications, would mean only
cOnstaDcy in affection and power Of carrying
out project despite all difficulties. Eyebrows
that are strongly marked at the commence
ment and that terminate abruptly
without sweeping past the eyes, show
an iraseible and impatient nature. Eye
brows slightly arched show sensitiveness
and tenderness of nature, but eyebrows that
are so much arched as TO give the appear
snce Of being raised in establishment
give an indication OF a weak and silly
nature completely without originality or will
power.
Eyebrows that are straight at their COM
meneement and are generally arched as they
reach the temples show a pleasant combina-
ton Of irmness OF purpose aud tenderness
OF heart. Eyebrows that are very much
80 sr..s..
much space between them and the corners Of
the eyes, denote a person who is totally
deficient In the science Of figures, while eye
brOws which lie close to the eye ut their ter
minatiOn show mathematical talents. When
the hair OF the eyebrows is ruffied and grow
ing in contrary directions, it denotes an en-
ergetie, easily irritated nature, unless the hair
of such eyebrows is fine and soft Ia combn
ton sometimes but not often seen), In which
case this rutfled growth would only indicate
an ardent but tender disposition.
When the eyebrows are formed of short
hairs. all lying closely together and leaning
one way, 10 is a very decisive sigu of a firm
man and good, unerring perceptions. Eye
brows that bend downward close to the eyes,
so as almost 10 meet the eyelashes when
they are raised, denote tenderness
and melancholy. The beautiful statue of
AltinOus has this form Of eyebrow. Angular
strong, and sharply interrupted eyebrows
close to the eyes always show fire and pro-
ductive activity. / have never seen a pro-
found thinker with weakly marked eyebrows,
or eyebrows placed very high on the forehead.
I Want Of eyebrow almost always indicates a
want Of mental aud bodily force. The
nearer the eyebrows are to the eyes the more
earnest, deep, and firm the character; the
more remote from the eyes the more volatile
and less -esolute the nature.
Eyebrows lighter than the hair show a
weakness and indecision. Eyebrows much
darker than the hair denote an ardent and
passionate but somewhat inconstant tenn
| permanent. Eyebrows the same color as the
hair show tirmness, resolution and cOnstancy,
but in judging Of the eyebrows it must be
remembered that II form and color give diff
| ferent indications, the form las this also
means that Of the brow gives the most i'm
portant indication, the color and texture of
the eyebrow being secondary TO its position
as regards the eyes and forehead.
