Scurrying Footsteps
Feet constitute one of the most in
teresting brunches of the science of
character reading, for feet reveal a let
aside from the indications of tempera
ment which jeu get from their size,
shape and general construction.
People may be able te control their
facial expressions, their manners, speech
and bearing, but the man or woman docs
net live who can conceal his or her
character bv a conscious control of all
the significant little habits and actiens:
and. of course, head shapes and the
size ami structure of the body cannot be
controlled either.
I'eet tell their most significant stories
when they are In action. It is the walk
thai is Important.
Fer example, did you ever hear
vurrylng footsteps coming down n,!iallV
Did jeu ever observe a mnii en the
street with a rapid hut shuffling and
slightly unccrlaln step? Did It ever
occur te you that there you have the
key te an important element In his
character?
Such footsteps you will nearlj always
lind with n certain amount of apparent
assurance. Itut the nssiiranep is .only
apparent. Yeu can puncture It easily.
It is merely the Imld front assumed bv
the timid yet sensitive disposition. It
is the lien's mantle draped upon the
lamb. Whctlipr their purposes are wor wer
tlij or unworthy, whether naturally sin
cere or insincere, you will find in such
persons a considerable tendency te brag.
