Curious Suggestions as TO Choosing Part
n,-r for Life.--HHuds a. the Index to
Character.
Asa rule. though there are many ex-
CO tions, a man with q long nail joint
TO his thumb, but short nails, should
marry a woman with short thumb and
lonG nails.
I don't mean {" taIons," but the pink
par of the nail should be long enough
TO promise grace lost in the mans ana
lytical mature these very short nails de
cIar, the diver into hid en- recesses Ger
taiuly he often discovers diamC nds, but
their ruughne is usually appalling. aud
the wife who will see to their poll hing
is the one thing needful.
Long nails look 90 much on the out
side OF things. and judge people by looks,
manner and dress so this com binaIon
should insure "le juste milieu"
girl whose long pointed fingers and
nails. and long, though slanting line of
head show much mental power, coupled
with strong imagination, and great
tendency to judge by outward signs,
must be carefully wooed.
1 he man to succeed will be short fln-
gered, and the first joint Of his thumb will
be at least as long "a the second. He
will never quite let her know how much
he cares for her, nor will he ever alto
gther lift the veil which shrouds him.
To her hi- charm will be that there is
Always something behtnd-somethtng
more to know some day.
These long pointed fingers, with the
line of head described above, love exploit
tation, but the mine once opened aud
fully explored has no more interest for
them.
The signs of chiromancy vary so
much, according to the ,ype OF the hand,
that it is difficult to Gull hard and fast
maXims. l can, however give at least
one, which is Il thug of beauty and Joy
forever in any hand
When the line of heart forms fork, of
which both branches are exactly equal,
on the mount of Jupiter, which rises at
the base OF the first finger 1t declares
absolute Jrueness OF heart. In such q
IeEson you may fully conhde, for TO him
or ner deceit is imposs ble.
This fork also tells OF one love only
for even when the person inspiring 1t
ha7 proved wholly unworthy, no other
love viii ever replace it. Other affec-
tions MY attempt to do SO, but none
will ever hold the place consecrated to
the first and last real love.
The person inspiring such love Is often
indicated by a cross between the lines
oEhearJ and head, the invariabIe sign Of
an influence of opposite sex. These
crosses, however, sometimes show irk-
to De shelved, and threadbare friend
ships strainiug at the cords of old af-
lection il well-meant fatal enorts to adj
wise.
Once, when telling the hand OF for
eigner, l found one Of these crosses cut
TIM the lines OF heart, head and fate,
and indicating continued worry and hin
urance arising from a woman's inhu-
ence. l said:
Your life is crossed and marred by
some woman. Whatever you take up he
objects to. No matter In whaJ career
you seek success, she crosses your path
and bars your way"
To my dismay. the fiery foreigner
sprang to his feet, and bringing his
c.euched list down on tue table with a
fOr-e all but disastrous to glass aud
ana china, he said:
- An! 1 do know her; she is Won
field. l do wish she would lie"
When these crosses res. ou T.. head
line only the influences they ind cate
arise from fascination alone, ami The
heart is unto ched.
1 know one lady whom palmistry
saved from a miserable marriage By
warning her how speedily the gIamOr
surrounding an influence OF this KIND
would wear of. In consequence OF this
warning she took six months to think
over matters, and long before their
termination the glamor had vanished,
and the engagement was broken of.
When the line of heart Is iroken into
many small pieces, it argues little luck
in love, and tells OF Inconsistency in
friendship.
A man who with this line combined q
long line of head reaching right across
the hand, would be a dangerous rival,
with but little regard to what imple-
ments he employed to cut out any one
who interfelad with him
The fragmentary line of heart tells
OF the wish TO do it, while the
lengthy line Of head Qiterally far-reach-
ing) shows the po er. This long head
line is always a dangerous possess
sion. indicating capabilities Ior swim
ding.
With a good long line Of heart princi-
pie will strangle speculation, but when
you find this in the hand OF a friend
whose line OF heart is defective, cross
quickly to the other side Of tho WY,
especially il you have anything of value
about you.
In hands blessed with all Ir ues, this
line merely demo ,es that delightful tai
ent for getting ones moneys worth out
OF everything which those who do not
possess 1t ceaselessly envy and admire.
Doubtless it il a most desirable knack,
but if everyone had il no one would over
pay, so how would any one proti.? It is
Just as we'll, There ore, that no two
people possess hands exactly similar,
and that q large heart 80 often overruIes
a long head.
Rednc-s of the lines shows passion /;
but Inless so red as to indicate violence,
they are, l think, preferable to the
wide, whi lines declaring egOtism. The
latter S amp the q Grandcourts OF life.
Had Gwendolen HarIeth studied palm
istry, no iaise hopes of " managing bet
ter than mamma would have Iured hex
into matrimony.
Beware, ye fances, of heart lines,
chained, crossed and harassed by little
lines they tell Of hckleness.-( London
