A (harp indentation immediately abore the chin shows good understanding. A pointed.chin is a sign of craftiness, wisdom and discretion. A soft fat double chin shows epicurism and lure of sensual pleasures of all sorts ; it also indicates an indolent | temperament. Wc never see such chins in persons of an energetic, restless nature. Charles James Fox who was excessively indolent, had this chin even in youth. A flat chin shows a cold, bard nature, a small chin indicates weakness, want of will power, and cowaruiee. A retreating ehin is a sign of silliness and it the brow is shallow, ol imbecility.

A round emu with a dimple in it denotes kindliness and benevolence, a lender and unselfish nature, in aver? massive duub.e chin the dimpe increases the quality ol love ol sensual pleasure ; a square and massive chin shows strong perseverance and determined will.
