![interrupted, can change and become equally absorbed in a new love. You would not die of a broken heart were the beloved object removed by death or otherwise placed beyond your reach. [40, et seq.l (4.) Average.—You are inclined to a single love and to union for life to a chosen one; but can readily change the object of your affec- tions, and, with Adhesiveness small and Conscientiousness moderate, may be coquettish. Cultivate. [41.] (3.) Average.—You are not particularly inclined to fickleness in love, and are disposed, under favorable circumstances, to union for life, but are liable to be led astray by new faces and to allow an old love to be supplanted by new ones. Culiwate. [41.] (2.) Small.—You are inclined to the promiscuous society of the other sex and have little respect for the conjugal relation. Cultivate. [41.] (1.) Very Small.—You manifest none of this faculty and experi- ence little of the feeling it imparts. Cultivate. [41.] XIY.—PARENTAL LOVE. (7.) Vert Large.—Your love for children and pets is iniense, and as a parent you would idolize your offspring and probably spoil them by pampering and hurtful indulgence, or by allowing them to rule instead of yielding obedience. If you have children, you sufi'er con- tinual anxiety on their account, especially when absent from them, and the death of one of them would be a blow almost too great to bear. Restrain. [44.] (6.) Large.—As a parent, you would be tender and indulgent, per- haps, to a fault, unless restrained by high moral considerations, and are too apt to overlook the faults and imperfections of your young favorites, whether your own children or those of your friends. You are passionately fond of the society of the young, who are equally fond of you, and you wall have groups of children clustering around you whenever you go among them. You must keep this faculty strictl}^ under the control of moral principle, or it will lead to harm rather than good to the little ones you love so w^ell. Restrain. [44.] (5.) Full.—You are capable of loving your own children well, and w ill do and sacrifice much for them, but wall not be over-indulgent, and will feel no very strong attraction toward children generally, or toward animal pets. Cultivate. [43.] (4.) Average.—You wall love your own children, but wall care little for those of others. If Benevolence be large, you will be tender toward the helpless infant, but will like children better as they grow older. Cultivate. [43.] (3.) Moderate.—You are rather indifferent even toward yowY own children, if you have any, and cold toward all others; can bear little from them, and are not calculated to win their afiections. You cai'e nothing for pets. Cultivate. [43.]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21083824_0166.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
