The dimpled or indented chin indicates the warm artistic temperament with its accompanying desire for love of the opposite sex, desire for affection, and alas! too often a fickleness and lack of loyalty and fidelity in love affairs.
JAWS
A broad, firm jaw indicates strong Combativeness, Destructiveness and Firmness.
A narrow, loose jaw indicates the reverse of the qualities above noted.
A loose, drooping jaw and open mouth indicates timidity, weakness, shyness, or despondency.
The fighters in all walks of life manifest the strong, firm jaw. It is the survival of the primitive "bite" in the animal or cave-man.
MOUTHS
The Orientals have a proverb which runs as follows: "By a man's eyes, know what he might have been, or may be; by his mouth, knew what he has been, and is." The study of the mouth is one of the greatest interest, and one which will richly repay one for his time and thought. It will be noticed that there is a great difference between the mouth and lips of an individual in childhood, in youth, and in middle-age, which fact shows the truth of the Oriental proverb just quoted. The mouth indeed shows what a man has been and is.
Small mouths generally denote undeveloped, childish, or babyish character, neither good nor bad.
Large mouths denote matured character, good or bad. When firm, they denote force and energy. When half-open, they denote dullness and heaviness. When showing full protruding lips, they denote sensuality and selfish passions and tastes. When very large and flexible, they denote the "windy" person who is fond of talking and hearing the sound of his own voice—when one says that another is "big-mouthed" he states a truth which physiognomy bears out.
