cHIHoMANcy AND LOVE.


Those About to Marry.
As rule, though there are many ex-
ceptions. man with long nail joint
10 his thumb, but short nails, should
marry woman with short thumb and
long nails. don't mean "talons," but
tho pink part OF the nail should be long
enough to promise graces lost in tho
mans analytical nature; these very
short nails declare the diver into hidden
recesses; certainly he often discovers
diamonds, but their roughness is usually
appalling, and wife who will see to
their polishing is the one thing needful.
Long nails look too much on the OUT
side of things, and judge people by
looks, manner and dress; so this COM
bination insures ale juste mlieu." A
girl whose long-pointed fingers and
neils, and long, though slanting. line
Of head, show such mental power,
coupled with strong Imagination, and a
great tendency to Judge by outward
signs, must be carefully wooed. The
man to succeed will be short-fngered
and the first Joint of his thumb will be
at least as long as the second. He will
I never quite let her know how much he
cares for her, nor will he ever alto
gether lift the vail which shrouds him.
TO her his charm will be TINT there is
always something behind something
more to know some day. These long
pointed fingers, with the line of head
above described, love exploitation.
but the mine once opened and fully ex-
plored, has no more interest for them.
.i'ho signs of chiromancy vary so
muoh, according to the type of the
hand, that it is difficult to cull hard and
fast maxims. can, however. give at
least one, which is thing of beauty
and q Joy forever in the hand. When
tho line of heart forms fork, of which
both branches are exactly equal, on tho
mount of Jupiter, which rises ut tho
base of the first finger, it declares abso-
lutte trueness of heart In such per-
son you may fully confide. for to him
or her deceit is impossible. This fork
also tells of one love only, for even
when the person inspiring it has proved
wholly unworthy no other love will
ever replace it. Other affections may
attempt to do SO, but none will
ever hold the place consecrat-
ed to the first and last real
love. The person inspiring such
love is often indicated by cross be-
tween the lines of heart and head. the
invariable sign of an influence Of op.
posite sex. These crosses, however,
sometimes show irksome influences;
old loves, which refuse to be shelved,
and threadbare friendships, straining at
the cords of old affection in well-meant,
fatal efforts to advise. Once, when
telling the hand of foreigner, l found
one Of these crosses cutting the lines of
heart, head and fate, and indicating
continued worry and hindrance arising
from a woman's influence. l said:
"Your life is crossed and marred by
some woman. Whatever you take up
reer you seek success. she crosses your
path and bars your way" To my dis
may, the fiery foreigner sprang to his
feet, and, bringing his clenched fist
down on the table with force all but
disastrous to glass and china, he cx-
claimed: "Ah! do know her; she is
Won fend. l do wish she would die"
When these crosses rest on the head
line only, the influences they indicate
arise from fascination alone.
and the heart is untouched.
l know lady whom palmistry saved
from miserable marriage by warning
her how speedily the glamor surround
ing an influence of this kind would
wear off. In consequence of this warn
ing she took six months to think over
matter, and long before their termina-
ton the glamor had vanished and the
engagement was broken of.
When the line of heart is broken into
many small pieces, it argues little luck
in love. and tells Of Inconsistency in
friendship. A man who with this line
combined long line of head, reaching
right across the hand, would be dam
gerous rival, with but little regard to
what implements he employed to cut
out any one who interferred with him.
The fragmentary line of heart tells of
the wish to do it, while the lengthy line
of the head Qiterally far-reaching)
shows the power. This long head line
is always q dangerous possession, in
dicating capabilities for swindling.
With o good long line of heart, prin-
ciple will strangle speculation, but
when you find this in the hand
of friend whose line of heart
is defective, cross quickly to
the other side OF the way, especially il
you have any thing of value about you.
In hands blessed with all virtues, this
line merely denotes that delightful tai
ent for getting ones money worth out
of every thing which those who do not
possess 1t ceaselessly envy and admire.
Doubtless it is most desirable knack.
but il everyone had it. no one would
ever overpay, 70 how would anyone
profit? 1t is just as we'll therefore, that
no two people possess hands exactly
similar, and that large heart so often
overrules q long head. Redness of the
lines shows passion; but unless so red
as to indicate violence, they are. think,
preferable to the wide white lines de-
claring egotism. Tho latter stamp the
"Grandcourts'' of life. Had Gwen
dolen Harlcth studied palmistry. no
false hopes of managing better than
mamma" would have lured her into
matrimony. Beware, ye fiances, of
heart lines. chained, crossed and har-
assed by many little lines, they tell OF
fckleness. London Standard.

fact that people hate their proteges
