Character Told by tn. Hair.

1t is a pretty hard thing to conceal
ones true character nowadays. A new
fad is hair reading, and this Is said to
give us away" in an unpleasantly ac
curate manner. says an exchange. The
new science is not fully developed yet,
but its devotees have already discov
cred many interesting facts, and are
constantly searching for more. Fine
hair is said to denote gentle birth, and
the amount Of care the hair shows will
determine the mode OF life. 1t Is also
claimed that the closer the ends of the
hair cling together, that is naturally.
without artificial force, the greater is
the intellectually the owner possesses.
A tendency to curl denotes inherent
grace and poetic nature. Straight hair
is the sign of firm. positive and prac-
tical disposition. Such bad qualities
as treachery and Jealousy are generally
found in people with black. lustreless
hair. The lighter the hair the more
sensitive and "touchy' the owner gem
orally is. Brown hair must be very
desirable thing to possess. for the hair
readers say it is always found on peo-
pie having in high degree common
sense good judgment and reason. Red
hair is a sign of honesty and also Of
cleverness. Nothing whatever is said
about freaks of temper as an accompan-
iment to red hair. 1t may be therefore
safe to conclude that another popular
idea has been dissolved by the search
light of science and investigation.
