Read Your Character
Plane Faces
Bv Digby Phillips

Plane Faces
by the plane face wo do not mean
the plain fncc. What constitutes Il
plain face, anyhow, Is q matter Of opin-
ion. But q plane face IS matter OF
scientific measurement.
1t is the profile in which the line of
the forehead and of the mouth and
chin are perpendicular. The nose that
goes with 1t is straight, or very nearly
so, and not too large.
The person with plane face strikes
a balance between the one with n reced-
ing forehead and chin and the one with
Il projecting forehead and chin. not
only in appearance. but in characterize
tics as well. The man or woman with
the perpendicular forehead Is quick men
tally. but not quite so much SO nS the
energetic and rather impatient slanting-
browcd one. lie or she likewise is pos-
Scssed OF the ability for more patient
and painStak!ng Thought, but not to the
same degree as the bulging browcd pro-
pie. Quicker IN their speech and ac-
tions than those with projecting iaws.
the plane people are not so haSty rs
those with rcccding chins. RcprcScnt-
Ing AZ they do sort of neutrality be.
tween two CNtrcm" types, you have to
turn to other signs to determine their
individual tendencies.
