THE DISPOSITION AND CHARACTER BY THE MOUTH AND EYES.

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 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.

6. 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.
