BY Their Appearance

WHEN trying to sum up a new ac-
quaintance DO not look AZ the face
alone. but particularly notice the head
and ears. as these are far more trust
worthy guides thar the features can
ever be. Illness or accident may spoil
q face which was intended to be beau
tiful and so lead you into forming a
harsh. incorrect Judgment But moth
ing can alter the shape Of the head. by
which the character is revealed. 4
low. back sloplng forehead is often a
sign OF stupidity or shallowness A
person with a forehead like this has
seldom very much mental power. He
may seem bright and sharp at first, but
when you come 70 know him you will
End that he is also shallow.
n high. wide forehead is generally a
sign OF very good brains But high
forehead which If pressed IN at the
temples as n II had been squeezed be-

A very heavy back TO the head shows
strong passions and sometimes a tend
ency TO coarseness. Men with heads
like this are often strong and COM
handing. but they seldom have any
fine feelings.
A head which goes straight up from
the back OF the neck without any bulge
at all often shows a cold. selfish. crit
ical disposition. Women with heads
like this are apt to be "catty." and men
are limited. conventional and self
seeking.
A head with q wide or lumpy top
shows kindness and benevolence. Men
with this shaped head may not be
specially brilliant. but they are kind
and devoted husbands and fathers.
Large. coarse ears. with thick lobes
to them. show a lack of refinement and
sympathy. Ears which have very large
bald spaces at the back OF them-quite
considerable gap between the ear and
the hair-often denote cruelty. They
are frequently to be seen on criminals
and prizehghters.
Small ears. set nat on TO the heac
and placed fairly high up, are a gooc
sign. They show refinement and q
natural delicacy and sympathy.
Some people say that a deeply clef
chin shows a contented mind and 9th.
ers hold that II indicates a very affec.
tionate disposition. A square. heav1
jaw shows strength of will or obsti'
macy. A receding chin shows lack o.
will and a self indulgent disposition
a very sharply pointed chin is NOR,
often than not a sign OF weakness ant
fretfulness.
Eyes which are set very close to-
gether are generally supposed to SHOW
slyness. When they appear with 1
high. narrow forehead they are a mos
dangerous sign.
Eyes which are set very wide apar
