But he would not be apt to be impulsive, perhaps a bit liberate, but yery determined; per- sistent (as shown in the long chin), in many cases he would be very patient, He would listen far better than the pure convex or sharp pointed face. One as a rule will fare much better as far as patience is con- cerned in the long or concave chin than with the short or convex. One of the most interesting com- bina ve find is the concave fore- heau (aight), convex nose (high arch) and convex (short) chin, In presenting an idea to this type they literally cannot understand or com- prehend quickly what is being said, but are apt to act on the .mpulse without fully understanding — just what {s to be done, and if in addition to this they possess an abundance of pride, or approbation, they are all the more anxious to show their speed. Yet they are always afraid that some one may detect their slowness to comprehend ideas. There are more people in the world with straight foreheads and short chins than any other combina- tion. he reason I have left out the is that, in so far as thinking and acting are concerned, we look to the forehead for speed of thinking and to the chin for speed in action. ‘The nose may indicate many other ele- ments, How Stenographers Are Analyzed Here the ten qualifications which a business man requires in a stenographer: are Neat attire, modest dress and per- sonality.
