line. One recognized authorit. says
that when this line curves upward the
poesessor is not likely TO marry ut all.
Other experts reply that they know
many married and happy people with
such line. Ii Is also alleged that the
transverse line ON the hill Of Mer-
curry" which one party says is the mar
siagc line, is not 70 considered by the
Chronological society. ''Our opinion, -
says the editor Of the party organ, ''is
that these lines arc signs Ct attachment,
