1t has been my special privi-
lege to observe and compare
many of the sons of rich families,
and 1t is a noticeable feature that
the law of compensation some
times abounds between the rich
and poor, for where there Is great
wealth we do not always find a
corresponding amount of health
and stamina; and on the other
hand, where person has had to
struggle and work hard for a
livelihood he is often blessed
with an abundance of robust
health.
What are the characteristics of
Vincent Aston, the so-called rich
est young man in the world?
We should first take into ac-
count the great responsibility
that he has been forced to as
sumo at very early age and the
loss he has been called upon to
sustain through the tragic death
of his father on the Titanic. En-
vironment has much to do with
the formation of character, as
we'll as heredity, and thus the Sc
robustness that pervades his coun-
tenance indicates the SOLDERING
influence that has come into his
life.
In Mr.. Astor we find a young
man who is convex in type and
who is QUICK TO THINK and
SLOW TO ACT. He is deliberate
In Following out the conclusions
that he comes to; hence he is not
likely to be rash, premature or
inclined to make many mistakes
through want of deliberateness
of action. He will want to think
a matter over before he decides
on a course of action and will
prefer to be left alone, to a great
extent, to think a thing out for
himself rather than act with the
multitude.
His head is high for its
width, which shows that he
has true dignity of charac-
ter, unusual perseverance
and steadiness OF purpose.
He has the elements of kind
ness, thOughtfulness and
generosity represented in
his character, though his
large benevOlence and with
his analytical mind he will
discriminate closely as to
the expenditure of his
wealth.
He is capable of becoming a
keen expert in dealing with fig
ures, and his sense of order.
method and system will aid him
materially in such work.
He is MORE of an OBSERVER
than DEEP THINKER. There
fore he will study facts and come
to conclusions concerning them
much more readily than he will
busy himself with theories that
have not been worked out. He is
better able to CARE FOR A FOR
TUNE THAN TO MAKE ONE,
for the lateral portion of his head
does not give him SO much in
centive to enjoy the routine of
business life, though he may
AAsAAoCA~ actShu W tHc lul6l-
lectual side OF a business.
The height of his head
gives him moral purpose and
a deep desire to studs out his
duty and obligation to
others. He Will more and
more take q interest in pub,
lie affairs, for his brain is
largely concentrating its in
terests ON public work and
public problems.
His SOCIAL brain appears to be
fairly d&veloped. But 1t will be
noticed that his social brain ia
not controlling one. Hence he
ls social, fond or his home and
devoted to his friends. though not
Accordingly so and not so enthu-
siastically inclined to devote him
self to society and society alone.
His moral brain has too much
control over his basilar qualities
to allow the latter to lead. Had
he a little MORE EXECUTIVE,
