CHARACTER SHOWN BY TILT OF THE NOSE
The very short nose is said to indicate conceit and frequently a well-de-veloped sense of humour. The shortnosed person is not inclined to borrow trouble or to be much concerned over other people’s misfortunes. The upturned nose indicates inquisitiveness and talkativeness —also an open mind with considerable imagination. A long, thin nose with a pointed tip is said to indicate hypocrisy. Persons with such noses are frequently self righteous and highly opinionated. The arched nose with thin bridge and tip is often possessed by persons of courage, but it may indicate coldbloodedness besides. High .bridges are said to show concentration and determination. Length in nose indicates patience and p'erservcrance. A rffund full tip is said to indicate affection and capacity to love, and may also indicate fondness .for luxury. Breadth in th 0 arch of the nose Indicates a practical turn of mind and executive ability. So it is that the Jewish nose which is rather long with a high, broad arch and a full round tip, indicates patience, determination, practicalness, •capacity for love and a taste for luxury.
The so called Roman nose which is long, and high arched, but not so broad in th-o arch, nor so full at the tip, indicates concentration, determination, patience, with , possibly more talent for abstract thought and loss love of luxury than is the case with the typical Jewish nose. The Roman nose is characteristic of many highclass Englishmen, who have possessed rare ability as colonisers and explorers.
