2) Professor W. Geo. Wheeler, L.P.I., I.A.Sc. Phrenology, Psychology,
Physiognomy, etc., Bath Premises, Pier Approach, Bournemouth September
5th 1927 ~ Phrenology of Miss L. Evans. You possess a large an d
strong type of brain, and have a strikingly distinct personality. You
display character. You like to take up a strong position; you will like to
rule, in fact, if serving under others you must have freedom, liberty to do
so in your own way, and, as far as possible, follow on your own lines. You
have always liked your own way. Yet, although you can be indignant, angry
under certain circumstances, you showed good deal of self control and plenty
of sound sense and judgment. You are well adapted for professional life. You
tell me you have had a bad turn physically; but, my impression is you will
now have a long run of health. You have a strong hold on life: your love of
life faculty and your will-power greatly help you. Although fairly
optimistic there is a tendency if things don't go nice to drift a little
towards pessimism. So keep up the optimistic faculty. But your character
shows great strength, and a very marked personality. You would hate to
be interfered with in your work. You like to give your mind well to what you
do. You can tick people off when you think they deserve it. You are adapted
for a specialist in education, for a musical career, for a good secretarial
appointment with freedom and responsibility. When in health, you are capable
of sitting successfully for difficult examinations. Many interesting
things will come to you owing to your strong will-power, you will Will
them toward you. You should, by wide reading, secure a well stored
mind. You put your mind will on your reading and studies. You may like to do
some literary work. You have a good command of words, will be able to talk
to people successfully, & address audiences by practice? I dare say, you
have taken? a language or two. You have a good moral brain: you are very
reliable, trustworthy, conscientious - although somewhat independent. You
appreciate home life. You enjoy a select circle of friends over whom you
will exercise a considerable influence, of course, if you can travel it will
arouse your mental forces still more. I have no doubt you would get hold of
languages fairly easily if staying in a strange country. You would also
enjoy the beautiful in travel, for you have a fine appreciation and judgment
as regards colour. You can work on methodical lines. What you undertake you
like to complete if at all possible. You will like helping people; but you
like to feel they are deserving of help. Your benevolent faculty will
generally be guarded by the conscientious. Although you have pride of
character and a certain natural independence, you have a good deal of
respect for others opinions. You would like matrimonial life under certain
conditions: if you felt you could the better fulfil your truest life without
it you would willingly remain single. You can well stand alone and fight
your own battles. Should you marry, remember you have a very strong will and
personality, and would not like to be ruled. You would have to have a good
understanding between yourselves if he had also a strong will. If you
have others under you, you will like them to be orderly and methodical. You
expect a good deal from yourself morally, and would expect a good deal from
them also. You will like to get on and make progress and you will
undoubtedly do so; if there is a better position to be attained you will
assuredly be after it. You might, under certain circumstances be severe with
those under you who failed to come up to the mark; but there is nothing
cruel in your nature - it would on your part, all arise from
conscientiousness and will ? combined, there might be a touch of
over-sensitiveness for you to guard against. In conclusion then, you
have a brain enabling ? ? ? for one of the higher professions, and provided
your health holds good (which I quite hope) will be able readily to attain.
With your mental and moral ? well set toward success, you may need sometimes
to tone? life's seriousness slightly. In any case, take regular and Happy
holidays, and as I say give the optimistic faculty plenty of sway.?
You are long? headed, far seeing, understand people well; but there is
nothing grasping in your nature, and your acquiring faculties are only about
average. Your parents or Kinsfolk, no doubt, found your childhood's
will-power a bit troublesome; but now we may hope with a good deal of
confidence that that same source of determination and power will bring you
much that your mind desires. W. G. W.
