An insignificant nose means an in— significant man. an open mouth is a sure sign of a empty head (keep yours closed). A projecting upper lip shows mallgnity and avericc. Pointed noses generally belong to meddlesome peo- ple. Large eyes in a small face betok- en maliciousness. A retreating chin is always had. It shows lack of resolution. \A projecting under lip indicates ostentation. self conceit and folly. Fine hair generallv betokens native good taste and Intel- ligence. A dimple in the chin Is pretty. brrt indicates weak mental organization. High cheeks honey always indicate great force of character In some direcs tion Fullness of the temples is sup- posed to show powers of mathematical calculation. A small mouth. with nose and nostril also small. shows indecision and cow- ardice. Half shut eyes show natural shrewdness. together with lack of sin- cerity.
