CHARACTER FROM THE FACE.

Many a plain face looks positively pretty when lighted up by animation and many a heart has been won and kept 'by one such glance at the right moment. The eyes show more plainly than any other feature of the face the intensity of the feelings ; the direction toward which they tend is displayed by the. size, shape, and moulding of the mouth. Women have always smaller mouths than men, and mere frequently larger eyes. They, as a rule, feel more intensely than men, and their feelings are kept more in check, and are less material.

Features formed on the same face indicate ""self-reliance, courage, and. ability to balance one's surroundings speedily. Such a man is always on the alert and, come what may, is never taken aback by unforeseen circumstances.

Should the' forhead be rounded off at the corners you may take it that the character is considerate, kindly disposed, well-meaning, and, as a rule, generous. Hair in man or woman is always a sign of energy of some kind. If dark hair the energy is the more pronounced, and should it be curly or wavy it invariably implies musical taste. Light, haired persons are less intense, not so impulsive, and more thoughtful than their darker brethren. A red-haired mortal is not such an objectionable individual as one would

expect from the many derogatory remarks that are passed about him. You will fmd the red-haired one lively, chatty, warm-hearted, and usually very shrewd. In spite of authorities, the writer lias always found the eyebrows, as such, to indicate—nothing ! Whether they be arched or straight depends on the shape of the brow. A low, over-hanging- ridge of the brow usually shows perception, But if this ridgo be arched instead of straight, it implies. soneitivwioßS.
