CHARACTER FROM PROFILE
Can you read profiles? What do long nsises indicate? or bulging brows? @r receding chins? (asks a wjriter in The World Magazine). There are four types .of profile—the vertical, the concave, the convex, and the “S’* shaped. Each one has a definite meaning. A convex profile proclaims a rapid thinker. It never fails. It also invariably denotes an observant, self-centred person. A concave race denotes a slow, laboured, plodding type of mind. This fa<-e is philosophical, calm, collected, but once it makes up its mind it is usually right, This man’s fault lies in being too conservative. He’ thinks too late. The plane type of profile is moderate. This form denotes a good judge of human conduct and a fair one of things. The vertical profile is apt to go far in any pursuit, because it has the happy faculty of keeping in the middle of the riad. The “S” shaped profile is the best .‘hr all round usage. Most handsome men possess it. A sharp nose usually accompanies .his face. Such a profile denotes quick, decisive,, correct thoughts and actions. But look out for an “S” turned backward. The reversed “S” is the weakest face ef all. It is concave above, where convexity j and reflective thought are most needed, and convex below, denoting rapid action. This is thi type chat acts before he thinks, which is fatal to most pursuits of life.
