HUMAN FACES

REVELATION OF CHARACTER.

INTERESTING MEDICAL STUDY.

LONDON, April 27.

In its current issue the "Medical Press and Circular" calls attention to the vast field of interest in the study of human faces, and it draws these conclusions:—

The long-faced, as a group, are analytical in outlook, conscientious, and worry over trifles; they like to live and make others live by rules and regulations. Pride is their vice or virtue.

The round-faced are not all conscientious in comparison, and have a much easier attitude towards life. They have more initiative and constructive ability, but are comparatively lacking in organising capacity. Vanity is their outstanding characteristic.

Eye colouring, stages the journal, is another decisive factor which contributes to a person's outlook oh life. The blue-eyed are hard-hearted and practical; they are not sentimental or worried to any great extent by the feelings and prejudices of their fellows. The brown-eyed are more sentimental, loving and sensitive to environment and the emotions of their fellow mortals, but are lacking in practical business ability.

Dividing the human race into four groups—(l) round-faced and blueeyed, (2) long-faced and blufe-eyed, (3) round-faced and brown-eyed, (4) long-faced and brown-eyed—it is found that the majority of marriages in a country such as England are between opposites—the round-faced mate with long, and the blue-eyed with the brown-eyed.

Each type has different capabilities, virtues and vices, likes and dislikes. "There is nothing we dislike more than our own faults in other people, and nothing more fascinating than that we do not understand. This probably explains the attraction between the long-faced proud individual and the round-faced vain person, and the fascination of the blueeyed hard individual for the browneyed sentimental person. Nature, thus endeavours to combine opposites so that the resulting life of the pair may be protected from the weaknesses or vices of either individual."
