We even try it when we walking along the streets, taking of passing strangers. ‘The curious about this uni- versal pr: that it does not work. Most of us are poor face readers. At the same time most of us are con- ceited enough to think we'are “pretty Somehow we fail to note t in the vast majority of cases a is somewhat differert . the third from the fourth from the third, and so Shakespeare said of this practice: “There is no art to read the mind's construction in the face.” Suppose you were to meet, for the first time, some dignitary of whom you have heard a great deal. Immediatey you begin to study his face. You make allowances for this, that. end another trait that does not square with your scheme of reading faces. Gradually you shift your position. Instead of reading something from his face, you read something into his face. And you do this all unconsciously. And now what do you read into his face? Exactly what you previously had in mind about this man. All this means that you size up people on the basis of impressions you had before vou saw them, It is the way we all do it.
