CHARACTER FOUND

Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
The latest society fad which promises to
eclipse palmistry and thought reading is
| that Of character reading by the features.
| The color of the eye, for example, may
| be the key to the character.
A haZel-eyed woman never talks too much
| or too little She is intellectual and agree
able, she prefers her husbands comfort to
| her own, and will cling to him through veal
| or woe.
| The gray eye Is the sign of shrewdness.
1t indicates a better head than heart. Par
| ticularly should the lover beware Of the
| soft, gray eye with the large pupil that
| contracts and dilates with word. a
| thought, a flash of feelng-an eye that
laughs, that almost sighs that has its sun
shine it's twilight, its mConbeams and its
storms. A wonderful eye is this gray eye
that wins you whether you will not and
that holds you after 1t has cast you off.
No matter whether the face be fair or not;
no matter If features are irregular and COM
plexion varying, the gray eye holds you
captive and then laughs at your chains.
Black eyes, of course, are typical of fire,
| heroism and firmness. Don't arouse them.
They are capable of taking vengeance they
seldom forget an injury, and Will bide their
time.
Blue eyes are arniable, truthful and af-
fectionate. They win by kindness.
A prominent or full eye indicates great
command of language. Deep-seated eyes,
on the contrary, receive more accurate,
definite and deeper impressions. Round-eyed
persons think little; narrow-eyed persons
see less but think more and feel more in
tensely.
When the lower lid curves downward and
shows the white below the pupil, then pause
before you trust your welfare to the owner
of the eye.
Nothing is more charming than the
straightforward gaze. which indicates that
a person Is in complete possession of her
self and confident of her own powers and
strength. 1t is one way of making ones
self irresistible a clear, steady gaze hav-
ing power to charm, which a shifting, cir
cling glance never can possess
Eyebrows may be thick or thin, fine or
coarse, arched or straight, regular or ir-
regular. Each form and quality has its
special significance in reference to temper
ament and character.
When eyebrows are thick and irregular,
harshness of character is denoted. Thin,
fine and delicate eyebrows are indicative OF
a refined nature. If eyebrows meet, de-
married brows," as connecting eyebrows
are called, are regarded as omens of good
luck. A Persian stakes his all on a woman
whose massive eyebrows curve heavily
down on to her temples. Such eyebrows
denote a jealous nature, and Jealousy is
fiattering to the masculine mind in Persia.
Prominence of the brow in the region
Of the eyebrows indicates strength Of the
perceptive or observing qualities; and
prominence between the brows strength of
the reflective or. thinking faculties.
Reading the Features.
"The gate of the SOUL" the-forehead has
been called, because through 1t you can en-
ter the temple of the owners inner being.
Features alter-eyes nose and mouth
NAV change their aspect from a thousand
causes Accident may mar them, pain dis
tort them, old habits frequently give them
some popularity of form or expression
They are like the hands on the clock dial
they move and change with wear or exter-
nal influences. But the forehead Is like
the dial itself-a picture, calm, open, I'M
mobile In the main the forehead remains
substantially the same throughout life.
The perfect forehead should be smooth,
clear white and spacious and one-fourth
the length Of the head in height. The high
err broader and fuller it is, all other things
being equal the greater the capacity and
strength of mind High foreheads, how
ever are not always an indication of brain
power.
..Neyer marry a woman with a square,
prominent chin says the wise man, "un-
less you wish to be ruled"
land don't go off and get a wife with
one Of those little sharp pointed chins, for
she will demand too much of you. If she
has a retreating chin, it shows a yielding
and easily discouraged nature. Unless its
owner has other well-developed faculties to
counterfeit the influence of this chin, she is
mentally and physically weak
A pleasure-loving person has small,
well-rounded chin, with a red cushion of
flesh upon it. If dimpled, it belongs to
cOQuette, or TO one VINO loves 10 De petteu
and admired.
The ideal domestic chin is neither square,
nor pointed, nor prominent, nor retreating,
but broad and round. The broad, round
chin is a type by itself. 1t denotes con-
stancy or faithful love. Great anterior de-
veIopment of the chin is sign of warm
disposition; great depth an indication Of
waywardneSs.
It's True Record.
Upon the mouth are recorded the various
conditions of the mnd-worry, doubt, sor-
row, peevshness and anger. All the human
emotions perch upon the lips in passing and
leave there the record of their brief ten
ancy in script so plain that all who will
may read. Good traits and bad are regis
tered alike on the mouth, and as the years
go on this mobile feature unconsciously as
sumes an habitual expression rejecting
those emotions that are most common to it.
Lips that curve downward at the corners
are usually the result of ill-natured
thoughts. They not to be trusted.
Thin lips show GOODNESS of disposition.
1t is the girl with the full red lips who
smiles pleasantly, to whom the lovabie dis
position belongs. She has mind free from
petty spites and jealouses. If her teeth
are rather square and sparkling like pearls.
1t is a further Indication that she is the
most loving and lovable of girls.
Evenly growing teeth show better dis
position and better developed mind than
those that crowd and overlap one another
Vertical teeth represent an even temper
If the tongue Is long IT Is indication
NJ fray IF short Of deceit If
of concentration. When the tongue is both
long and broad it denotes thoughtlessness;
If long and narrow ITS owner is only half
frank thinking as much as Is uttered
but not always uttering all that is thought
If short and narrow great prudence Is de-
noted.
Ones Earmarks.
The ear, too, Is full of expression. and no
less indicative of character than the eyes,
brow chin and tongue.
