ed hair and
whiskers, indicate powerful animal passions, together with corresponding
strength of character; while fine or light, or auburn hair indicates quick
susceptibilities, together with refinement and good taste.
3. FINE HAIR.--Fine dark or brown hair indicates the combination of
exquisite susceptibilities with great strength of character, while auburn
hair, with a florid countenance, indicates the highest order of sentiment
and intensity of feeling, along with corresponding purity of character,
combined with the highest capacities for enjoyment and suffering. {478}
4. CURLY HAIR.--Curly hair or beard indicates a crisp, excitable, and
variable disposition, and much diversity of character--now blowing hot, now
cold--along with intense love and hate, gushing, glowing emotions,
brilliancy, and variety of talent. So look out for ringlets; they betoken
April weather--treat them gently, lovingly, and you will have the
brightest, clearest sunshine, and the sweetest, balmiest breezes.
5. STRAIGHT HAIR.--Straight, even, smooth, and glossy hair indicate
strength, harmony, and evenness of character, and hearty, whole-souled
affections, as well as a clear head and superior talents; while straight,
stiff, black hair and beard indicate a coarse, strong, rigid,
straight-forward character.
6. ABUNDANCE OF HAIR.--Abundance of hair and beard signifies virility and a
great amount of character; while a thin beard signifies sterility and a
thinly settled upper story, with rooms to let, so that the beard is very
significant of character.
7. FIERY RED HAIR indicates a quick and fiery disposition. Persons with
such hair generally have intense feelings--love and hate intensely--yet
treat them kindly, and you have the warmest friends, but ruffle them, and
you raise a hurricane on short notice. This is doubly true of auburn curls.
It takes but little kindness, however, to produce a calm and render them as
fair as a Summer morning. Red-headed people in general are not given to
hold a grudge. They are generally of a very forgiving disposition.
SECRETIVE DISPOSITIONS.
1. A man that naturally wears his hat upon the top or back of the head is
frank and outspoken; will easily confide and have many confidential
friends, and is less liable to keep a secret. He will never do you any
harm.
2. If a man wears his hat well down on the forehead, shading the eyes more
or less, will always keep his own counsel. He will not confide a secret,
