1. DIFFERENT FORMS OF MOUTHS.--Every mouth differs from every other, and
indicates a coincident character. Large mouths express a corresponding
quantity of mentality, while small ones indicate a lesser amount. A
coarsely-formed mouth indicates power, while one finely-formed indicates
exquisite susceptibilities. Hence small, delicately formed mouths indicate
only common minds, with very fine feelings and much perfection of
character.
2. CHARACTERISTICS.--Whenever the muscles about the mouth are distinct, the
character is correspondingly positive, and the reverse. Those who open
their mouths wide and frequently, thereby evince an open soul, while closed
{477} mouths, unless to hide deformed teeth, are proportionately secretive.
3. EYES.--Those who keep their eyes half shut are peek-a-boos and
eaves-droppers.
4. EXPRESSIONS OF THE EYE.--The mere expression of the eye conveys precise
ideas of the existing and predominant states of the mentality and
physiology. As long as the constitution remains unimpaired, the eye is
clear and bright, but becomes languid and soulless in proportion as the
brain has been enfeebled. Wild, erratic persons have a half-crazed
expression of eye, while calmness, benignancy, intelligence, purity,
sweetness, love, lasciviousness, anger, and all the other mental
affections, express themselves quite as distinctly by the eye as voice, or
any other mode.
5. COLOR OF THE EYES.--Some inherit fineness from one parent, and
coarseness from the other, while the color of the eye generally corresponds
with that of the skin, and expresses character. Light eyes indicate warmth
of feeling, and dark eyes power.
6. GARMENTS.--Those, who keep their coats buttoned up, fancy high-necked
and closed dresses, etc., are equally non-communicative, but those who like
open, free, flowing garments, are equally open-hearted and communicative.
