The muscular fibres passing from the top of the forehead to the middle of the eyebrow, causing an elevation of the brow, and the horizontal wrinkles on each side, indicate an enthusiastic person, and one full of hope; the first being indicated on the left side, and hope on the right. These are both excellent traits.
A jealous person may be known by an oblique fulness below the under lip, and has a rather pouting appearance.
A lady who will be apt “to wear the trousers” can be told by a small muscle, passing from the top of the nose to the skin of the forehead between the eyebrows, raising short transverse wrinkles over the root of the nose. The same sign in a gentleman, too full, shows that he would be rather a master than a husband.
A lady whose front teeth are long and well shaped is generally very affectionate. The same in man shows a kind disposition.
A fulness of the under lip, in either male or female, extending from the angle of the mouth obliquely, and occupying the concavity between the lip and chin, shows a bitterness of temper which no reasonable mind could tolerate.
We think that any person, who has the ordinary powers of observation about them, can form an opinion from what has been here given, so that they need never be mistaken in the disposition of the one who is to be their bosom companion for life, “for happiness or for woe, through life they must go.”
