There never was a person of character who had not a large mouth, and lips are tsually finer and -more expressive in a large. mouth. It is not necessarily the small mouth which is the ideal one. The Madonna mouth—the one which Ehows 2 slight projection of the upper lips over the lower one—reveals. deep purity and ::gecllon, great tenderness and self-devo- n. If the mouth never closes, a lack of mental power is indicated; such a mouth belongs to a person who thirsts for no- torlety, applause and commendations gen- erally speaking, the person is deficlent in passions and emotions. The tightly compressed lips is a sign of weakness, Thin lips are associated with unsociabil- ity and coldness of disposition; they-also denote a great degree of self-control. Lips which show a straight closure, and are delicately creased can only belong to a refined nature. Praminence of the lower lip denotes obstinacy, but if a mole mark THE TYPICAL AMERICAN NOJE . the right side of the lip, good fortune is signified. = Full lips, rosy and regular, finely arched, show a lovable disposition; if they also have a cushioned appearance they belong to & domestic nature, fond nf caresses. If teeth are long and not narrow the owner has large, liberal views, strong passions and herolc virtues. Teeth that are long and narrow belong to people of weak character. If broad and short, strong mental powers are indicated—if close together the person has a quick in- telligence. Evenly growing teeth show 2 better disposition and better developed mind than those that crowd and overlap each other. Teeth that project outward show inquisitiveness; if they project out- ward upon the lower lip the person pos- sesses generosity. If they turn inward the person is pénurious. Where the up- per teeth project greatly over the lower ones, it shows a non-emotional nature, and a lower order of intellect. Vertical teeth represent an even temper. The more the teeth and gums are displayed in con- versation the less profound’ the mind. . ply. thre reeth unusuglly pointed and sharp show a depraved nature. American women are fatally deficlent in nose, €0 we are told by one who has ade & study of the subject. “It is mot too much to say,” this authority declares, “that if you make a study of a tier of boxes at the opera you will not see one good nose. 1f a woman has a nose it is probably a proboscis, and she could sup- or four of her meager sisters; the others, without exception, have little pugs, or an irregular piece of flesh and cartilage ‘that cannot be classed. You will see & queer, peaked affair, that seems to ‘point’ derisively at her bang; another bas @ minute nose, 50 unfortunately con- " structed 2s to give her the effect of one whose fate it is to be constantly tor- mented with odors that are not redolent of the rose or the lily." The on who writes In such a strain as this about the American nose either has no nose herself or a Roman one. As matter of fact, plenty of women have Greclan nose, which is oonsidered the ideal one. If the tip-tilted, or the one with a heavenward trend, a hopeful, joy- ous pature s indieated, and a piquancy is added to the face which is most at- tractive. Long noses are cautious; if not too long they tell of independence of character. Foreheads are high or low, round or square, flat or convex. The ideal brow is rounded, slightly convex and smooth. If the forehead rises slantingly the per- son is sharp and daring; if it is full in ihe middle and upper regions, the person THE is shrewd and cautous. If it is full at the outer angles eccentricity of behavior may be looked for. Excessive size of the brow is a sign of idleness.

Gray eves, which sometimes look hazel and sometimes violet, show a lov- able nature, with a good intellect. There is a whole world of tell-tale indi- cations in the apex of the ear. If it lles close to the head and is small the owner possesses a refined, susceptible nature. But if the top starts away from the head 2t a well defined angle that person has an uneven disposition, and is not to be re- lied upon. If the ears stand forward so as to show their entire form, when the face is seen from the front, cruelty is denoted. Delicacy and poetry of feeling are indicated by a thin ear, while a thick cne shows the reverse, A wide spage be- tween the wing of the nose and the ear- hole shows coarseness of nature; too lit- tle space, meanness and coldness of tem- perament. An ear to be perfeot should be rather small; it should not be higher than the eyebrow and net lower than the tp of the nose; if ears are set in too sioping a direction they show timidity; I too upright, animal instincts, clally if they obtrude frem the head In color the ear should be a delicate pink, and a little, but a very little, deeper in shade at the lobes. Perfectly coloriuss ears denote timidity and want of warmth of temperament. Ears of a deep red color show animal instincts. Character may also be determined by the neck. The shorter and thicker the neck the stronger the character and the greater the prospect of health and hap- piness and long life. BSuch a neck gives an appearance of power to the head. A long, thin neck detracts from the size of the head and enfeebles its effect.. If the neck curves forward a yielding disposi- tion-is Indicated; if it curves backward “a haughty disposition. woman as accurately by her hair as by her eyes, mouth or nose. “Have the head entirely concealed,” this wise individual will say; “all I want to see Is a good-sized strand of her hair; of course, I would have to know it was grown to, her head. The manner of wear- ing her hair would not enter into or af- fect the decision.” This prophet starts out in his reading of a woman by her hair with the quite generally known and accepted principle that the finer the hair the gentler the birth. The closer the ends of the hair cling together the more intellectuality does the owner possess. ‘When the ends show a tendency to curl it is an infallible sign that the owner has inherent grace and poetic ease of body. The straighter and less ylelding—though not necessarily harsh—the hair the firmer and more positive is the woman’s nature. Treachery and jealousy hide beneath lus- teriess or dead black hair nine cases out of ten. Hair that may appear of the fin- est texture and be glossy aimost to bril- lancy when viewed at a little distance, but that on close examination is found to have a broken or split appearance, indi- cates an unbalanced character—a woman with an excess of especially queer no- tions and one who, while she may be nice enough to bow to on the street, should be avoided as an intimate friend. The lighter colored the hair the more mensitive and “touchy” the owner. Brown halr is the most pleasant and satisfactory shade of hair to have to do with in a business way.

The damsel head ong if her thumb has a tendency to stand at right angles to her hand. A person weak mentally and physically has a weak, pendant thumb. The rong character has a strong, erect thumb. A very fleshy thumb at the base shows coldness and selfish- *ness. Finger nalls that are oval and rounded show refinement. Those that are broad and short, say “coarse and unambitious.” Long nalls, rather square at the top, mean firmness and energy. Small ones, with the top curving in, instead of out, means laziness and lack of confidence. Long, sharp-pointed nails, almost claw- ltke, denote ability to originate. Sho square, broken ones, carelessness and temper. A woman, lively, vain, fiirtatious and coquettish, is the one who has & small foot, of medium width, with the toes curving upward. If the space between the great toe and second toe is large, it s a3 much an evidence of dlstinguished birth as a high instep, particularly if the toes are long and narrow. Small, rourided heels shows & vain dis- position. If the muscles and .veins are well defined, you will live to see your wishes realized and you will be lucky in love. What Do You Know?
