when the reporter refe rred to palmistry

Eyes, and they are not intricate ones.
/ don't know bat [ am divulging my
trade secrets, but have enough inter-
est in palmistrylto overturnyour doubts.
Hands are divided into three kinds.
those with tapering fingers, T. blunt,
square-tipped ones, and fingers that are
spade shaped, with cushions Of flesh on
each side of the nail. fhe taper-fn-
yered hand is the highest and best type,
and is possessed BY poets, artists,
persons of contempiative moods and
with quick, sensitive minds that turn to
the ideal rather than the real. The
blunt fingered hand belongs to the sem
sibie, matter-of-lact, well-balanced class
of humanity, such as the successful bus
mess and professional man orscientists."
"You have taper fingers and are
something of all jdealist," said the palm
list, CHANGING at the reporters busy fin
gers. The reporter had to OWE up.
The spade-shaped fingers to my third
class are possessed by men and women.
OF strong passions, who love creature
comforts, and have what I call material
instincts. = -
"rhe joints on the hand are points
that are very important in the study.
If the top joint is longest it speaks
broadly Of ideality and lack of practical
ability, making the ,possessor of the
hand dreamer If the second joint BE-
longest it denotes keen, we'll balanced
mind, and if the lowest joint excels In
length the person who owns the hand is
a unitarian, with strong passions. If all
three joints are equal, weM balanced
mind is there.
by my rules you Will see that TIE
first or topmost joint means the spiritu
al nature, the middle, mind or intellect,
and the lower joint the body of the per-
son. These rules may be thrown aside
IN the case of an uncommon hand. In
that case the face aids us and a coiaclu-
sion can be reached by that means"
How do you read the lines of the
hand?'
THAT is the finest work of the whole.
Two hands may be widely different, and
their lines and shape may contradict the
tales told by the fingers. Then only the
Instinct that comes with the true grasp
OF art can aid the palmist. To learn the
chief lines Of the hand is an easy mat

head line, which begins alongside Of the
life line--sometimes running into or,

the hand somewhat diagonally near the

'The lines that run round the wrist
are age lines, each meaning thirty years

deeply tinted and runs nearly Uubro-
kenly to near the wrist, it. is sure sign
that the owner of the hand will live

at his hand, and may nave laughed, for
the operator first looked ''nettled." and
secondly at own the hand, and said:
