of the mind most certain to unlock the
mental secrets Select the forehnger of
the left hand, because 1t is less apt TO
be deformed by work or using the pen.
A broad. fiat foreinger means a love
OF justice. big, round forehnger, larger
at the tip than in the middle, denotes a
tendency to measure all things by ju-
dicial standards, an oVerreached Justice
Where you see a man with this ciub-like
forehnger YOU will find one who cannot
temper justice with mercy, a stern Judge
Chief Justice Fuller has one of these
big fore fingers, but fortunately the bump
of generosity at the mound OF the finger is
so large that il overbalances this great
justice finger, making 1t not out of pro-
portion in the character. A crooked fore
finger means an ability to Judge fairly,
and a tapering one means that the sense
of justice is swayed by appearances and
circumstances, even by the weather.
The love OF fun is shown by the tip of
the middle finger. In Chauncey NJ. DepeW
this middle finger is fiat, almost spatulate,
in spite of efforts to make 1t taper like
the other fingers This shows a high sense
of humor. All the funny men have big
middle fingers, spreading at the ends.
Those with artistic ability have,
nearly always, the third finger large and
rounding at the very tip, never tapering.
Some very artistic hands have pointed nm
gers, all except the third finger, which
spreads round. This means a strong sense
of the beautiful. A long third finger means
very strong appreciation of art, letters
and science.
When you hear an orator speak, notice
the length and shape of his little finger.
Eloquent men have big little fingers. II a
little finger is nearly as large at the end
as at the base, II means a marvellous flow
of speech. If 1t is abnormally long, it means
logic and all that goes with good spea k
ing. T. C. Plat has a large little finger,
but he Is not speaker. That is because
he lacks the necessary vanity to uphold
him, and is not often gifted with love of
fun, a necessary adjunct for a successful
orator.
In the lines of the hand you will see
several pronounced ones. Notice first the
one that runs downward from the third
finger If it is a broken line it means
that you will have money and lose it. 1t
is the line of wealth In the hand of Cal
vim S. Brice it is unbroken from start to
finish. In a certain well-known turf man
it runs in many little leaps, meaning spent
fortunes and many made. The line is
never very deep, but there's money along
II. The line of the heart starts from be-
low the little finger and extends to the
mount under the forefnger An unin-
terrupted course signifies falling in love
and happily for life. If broken, there
viii be love troubles. and If cut into death
viii intervene.
At a lawn party at Cliveden, the Eng
fish home of William Waldorf Astor, a
palmist was introduced upon the lawn
to read the hands Of the guests Every
body fmportuned the host to have his
hand read Conserving at last Mr.. Aston
spread out his smooth palm for the
palmist to decipher.
