WHAT FORMS SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT MARRY. 181 



than susceptible or emotional, they require that their own 

 emotions should be perpetually prompted by an emotional 

 companion and that their children also be endowed with the 

 emotional from the other parent. That is those who are 

 cool should marry those who are impulsive or susceptible. 



Hence, little nervous men, should not marry either little 

 nervous or sanguine women, lest they and their children 

 have quite too much of the hot-headed and impulsive and die 

 suddenly. Generally, ladies who are small are more eagerly 

 sought for than the large. Of course this general fact has 

 its exceptions. 



Two very beautiful persons rarely do or should marry, 

 nor two whp are very homely. The fact is a little singular 

 that very handsome women, who of course can have their 

 pick, rarely marry good looking men ; because that exquis- 

 itness in which beauty originates, more naturally unites with 

 that strength which accompanies large noses and irregular 

 features. 



Those who move, speak, laugh, etc., rapidly, should 

 marry those who are calm and deliberate, and the impulsive 

 those who are stoical ; while those who are medium , may 

 marry those who are either or neither, as they may 

 prefer. 



A woman who inherits her looks, stature, appearance, 

 and physique mainly from her father, should give prefer- 

 ence to a man who takes most after his mother, physically ; 

 whilst women cast strongly after their mothers should marry 

 those men in whom the masculine form and physiognomy 

 uperabound. 



Noses indicate character by indicating the organisms 

 and temperaments. Accordingly, those noses especially 

 marked should marry those having opposite characteristics. 

 Eoman noses are adapted to those which turn up, and pug 

 noses to those turning down ; while straight noses may 

 marry either. 



Narrowness at the nostrils indicates small lungs. Such 

 are, of course, adapted to those with broad nostrils, which 

 accompany large lungs and vital organs.
