MARKS OF ARISTOCRACY.
The Color and Texture of the Hair and
the Size of the Ear as Indications.

any wave or curl, ana Wnlcn lies IN
| lauk, lifeless masses, shows a melan-
| Cholic disposition; 4 black beard which
grows Sparsely gives also the same in
| dication. Black hair which is wavy
| or curling, shows force of affection and
| a certain ardor in love matters, and so
also does a thick and crisped textured
| black beard and mustache The lank,
thin and uncurling black hair is the
combination of Venus with Saturn.
| The united influence of these two plan
| cts on life gives force of character,
| for the warmth and impulse given by
Venus is tempered by Saturn into
! prudence; thus people with the crisp
| dark hair get the ardor combined with
prudence which produces success in
| life.
Chestnut hair of soft and silky tex
ture, and not very thick, gives romance
| of character. This is not the sort of
| hair which is ever seen on common
| place realistic people. This tint of hair,
| crisp or curling. and growing thickly
| on the head indicates a warm and af-
| fectionate nature. Men with this sort
of hair and with q thickly growing
| beard, also crisp or wavy of texture,
are hospitable. and both men and wo-
men of this coloring are fond of society,
have good deal of go" in them, and
an immense amount of confidence in
themselves. 1t is essentially one of
the signatures of Jupiter: it indicates
| pride and generosity of character.
Avaricious people never have hair of
| this color and texture. With full lips
and a round chin with dimple in it
this sort of coloring would give sensu-
BUSINESS almost amounting to sensu-
ality.
Golden hair of a soft, pale gold with
out undulation, shows gentleness and
tenderness, but no force of character.
Men having this sort of hair are almost
etfeminate in their tastes, and wanting
in energy and decision. Both men and
women having this pale, floss-like sort
| of hair are incapable of strong affection;
they are attracted by the opposite sex,
but they are more given to having
! a series of small interests than one
strong love. If this hair is found in
| combination with the golden-colored
eyes. it is indicative of coquetry in the
nature; if with pale blue-grey eyes. we
find languor and caprice-a sentiment
| al but inconsistent person.
Bright golden hair of a rich deep
color and of a crisp and waving texture
| growing thickly on the head and some
| what low on the brow, shows an ardent
poetic and artistic temperament. 1t is
the signature of Apollo, the sun. Such
people are generally fond of music,
painting or poetry. Both men and wo-
men having this sort of hair are intui-
tive in their judgments; they do not
reason about things. they feel it; they
are little quick of temper-that is.
easily ruflled, but quickly appeased;
they are gay, and interest themselves
in art, even if they are not artistic
themselves.
Persons with red hair are ardent and
viyacious, especially if with it they
have hazel eyes, in which case they
have a bright and quick intelligence.
They have good deal of natural
facility for study and good memories.
Red hair with blue eyes shows the same
warmth of character, Tut not so much
intelligence. and if with blue eyes and
red hair. the eyebrows and eyelaShes
are white-aS is often the case-it is an
indication of weak and capricious
nature.
People with red-brown hair which is
very thick, and redder over the ears
and at the temple and in the beard than
on the head are courageous and hot
tempered. This kind of hair (unless
other indications are widely differently
shows activity and energy in all things.
1t augments the indications of force
and power given by other features, and
in art this sort of hair gives sense of
color in painters, force of language and
eloquence in poets, and power in musi-
cal composition.
Hair of that colorless fair color
which French writers call blonde CEN
DIRE, or ash-colored, denotes persons Of
1t is the indication given by the domi-
nant influence of the moon at birth.
Persons with this sort of hair in combi-
nation with large blue-grey eyes, with
fair, long but straight eyelashes, and
very slightly defined eyebrows of the
same blonde color, and white, soft
skins, are capricious, languid. i'm
imaginative, and somewhat melancholy.
Women having this sort of coloring of
skin and hair are romantic. and devot-
ed in a resigned but not active spirit;
that is, they are more generous in
words than deeds, for they are incapa-
bic of eXertion, and still less of perse-
yerance.
Persons with soft, long hair OF dark
brown, so dark as to be almost black,
yet not of that blue-black which is
essentially melancholic, are aflectionate,
gentle and loving. Their first instincts
are always good and kind. They like
society, and are gracious in manners,
and though they are not quite as indo-
lent as those having the soft ash-color-
ed hair, indicative of the moons intiu-
ence. they are still lovers of repose and
elegant comfort. People with this soft
brown hair are very open to the i'm
pressions of beauty, and they abhor
noise, discords and quarrels of all sorts.
Men with this sort OF hair, like those
with pale golden hair. are somewhat
etfeminate, and are easily moved to
tears.
Large. feshy ears. especially those
whi h have the lobes of the ears red,
show coarseneSs of nature and sensu-
ality.
If the ears stand forward so as to
show their entire form, when the face
is seen front. it denotes rapacity and
cruelty.
Ears close to the head shows refine
ment and susceptibility.
Long-shaped but small ears indicate
refinement; very small ear close to
the head, shows delicacy of perception,
refinement but also timidity.
The ear should be so placed as not
to be higher than the eyebrow, or low
er than the tip of the nose. if set in too
sloping direction they show timidity;
if too upright. animal instincts, courage
amounting to cruelty, especially if they
obtrude out from the head.
A thin ear shows delicacy and poetry
of feeling. thick ear the reverse.
A wide space between the wing OF
the nose and the ear-hOle shows coarse
