Miss Borden cam OF DO easily character

she had no contidsnts, and that she was

Her picture has been printed in nearly

ownership, and laying the foundation for
good business talent and the tendency to
push the cause which has business involved
IN It to q successful termination.
The face indicates power. The broad
cheek bones and the prominence of them,
the massiveness OF the lower Jaw, as it
makes an angle to get UP toward the hair,
show vital power aud the tendency TO be
thorough and severe
The mouth indicates determination and
resolution. The breadth of the head above
and about the ears shows courage, SELFISH
ness aud executive ability
She appears to have large firmness, that
Is shown IN the hight Of the head, on a line
from the opening Of one ear to that of the
other over the top.
We think she has pretty good share of
self-esteem. She is self willed, courageous,
high tempered. secretive, fond OF property.
She is not a thinker and reasoner; she is a
critic, but she is rather light In the reason
ing power, though amply developed in the
| abilities which relate to practical knowl-
edge, and the ability to be ingenious and
artistic.
If Cue back and top Of the head were
available it wouli be an aid TO the full esti-
| mate Of her character.
She appears to have more courage than
| prudence, more determination than pliabil-
ity, more force than restraint Of mind.

II the head, at a fiber's terminal point Is
roundly developed, 1t proves that the organ

IL the fiber is seldom required,

These are the simple fundamental claims
upon which is based a science SO nll-embrac-

women may solve the servant problem so
satisfactorily that nothing will be left to
talk about.
You may get married and stay married
all In accordance with the contours OF your
head and face. For a consideration your
life partner will be chosen for you by a SOL
entifio analysis, which may not be Of much
service after the marriage day. however.
A person with a strongly vital tempera-
ment should seek in marriage one having
the motlve~mental temperament. Suppose
one person has strongly marked mental
temperament with q large head. light bones
and muscles, lacking some what the digestive
aud nutritive power. That person should
choose in marriage one who has pTedom-
nance of the motive and vital tempera~
meuts, with less expansion OF brain, with
strong features. larger neck and more
brawny organization.
IL is possible TO learn by the chart all
about temperaments, for the name OF every
known faculty is printed in its proper spot
on the head. PhrenoloRically Speaking,
every one may be his own fortune teller.
