READING CHARACTER IN
THE PALM.

The following rules are among the
simplect in use by some of the profess
sional palmists: When the fingers are
longer than the palm, the mind will he
very active and the spirit Of criticism
and contradiction strong. There will
be love of argument and the memory
will be very good, especially for words,
and learning by heart will be easy.
The mails and ends of the fingers
show the temper OF the subject. Very
large nails, curved at the bottom, show
a cool and careful head for business.
Almond nails denote sweet temper.
Thin and little nails are sure sign of
delicate health. Short nails. even
with hand otherwise benevolent, show
mockery, criticism and contradiction.
All hands coveree with lines show
either an agitated life or i'll heath. A
very white hand, which does not change
with heat or cold, is sign of selfishness.
Square fingers give reflection and
thought; will love order, but not have
it. Long fingers give details, pointed
fingers have no order and short give
the general aspect; jump at ccnclu-
sions. The square fingers and a small
thumb give order, arrangement and
symmetry. Smooth transparent fin
gers indicate curiosity and indiscre-
ton. Smooth fingers without knots
judge people and every thing at first
sight. knotless fingers do things by
inspiration rather than by knowledge.
The quadrangle is the space in the
palm between the line of che head and
line of the heart. Where this is fur
rowed with many lines, it is a weak
hand, and when the quadrangle is ab-
sent from the hand entirely. it is sign
of misfortune. If the quadrangle is
narrow in the middle it denotes a dis
position inclined to injustice and de-
ceit. The quadrangle broad i'll the
middle, broad at the side of the per-
cussion of the hand, indicates good
constitution, loyal, happy person,
because it signifies regularity and
temperance.
A small line from the life line cut
by Il little ray, indicates separation
from husband or wife, OF lawsuit.
Three lines on the palm at equal dis
tance and of equal size, denote great
good fortune. great success and great
fame. When the palm and fingers arc
Of equal length, the balance will be
perfect, Judgment and instinct will go
hand in hand. Hard hands show ener-
gy and perseverance if hard and
pointed, elegance and activity.

especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the

eases of various kinds are almost GER

power to purify and vitalize the blood
it has proved itself to be the safeguard

WOMEN AND REST NTS.

Hc SIcdtcI ucSIcc vi HOIOIlcIy
achieved by some of our emancipated
ladies the more colletmonte their de-
meanor in public. The sole restriction
at the rcstaurateur or the maitre d'ho-
tel is at the dinner hour, and concerns
the presence of ladies alone or in
couples at cafes of the highest grade.
The rule at Delmonico's has always
been very strict on this point, and is
no respector of persons. Thus the
walters, having been ordered never to
serve any single woman who appeared
for late dinner. the late Charles Del
monico himself solved a delicate situa-
tion by himself waiting on we'll
known woman { f fashion, who, having
come into town on business in mid
summer, strolled over from her desert
ed house in Madison square to get her
dinner.
A well-knOwn man about town, who
himself occupied chambers on the up
per floor of Delmonico's, requested a
private room for himself and near re-
lation, an aged aunt, who, having come
to New York to attend funeral. ,lt..
not feel inclined, in her deep mourn
ing, to dine in the public restaurant.
Despite the relationship and the Cir
cumstances, the private room was re-
fused on principle.
All these rules and regulations are
designed to keep away an undesirable
class of customers. Bat at the lunch
con hour ladies aloEe, and at the din
ner or supper hours ladies escorted, are
continually mixing ut our mOdish res
taurants, just as they do, save when
debarred from the inner and upper cir
Gle, on the grand stand at our race
tracks.
There is one fact familiar to the
lookeron in New York and that is that
our smart women and those who are
not in society are at once disposed to
flock by themselves and to occasionally
commingle, even if they have to take
excursions to do so.
Thus there are certain upper-class
restaurants that are conventional, and
there are certain others equally we'll
appointed to which Il reputation for
freedom is attached. Each has its
clientele. At one only ''thc high-neck-
ed" are expected, and rs rule the
composition Of the company is prcor-
dained, with but few variations. At
another it is rs certain that the assem-
blage will be "mXed' and proportions
ately amusing. And yet the women
in society arc pcrpetually making cx-
cursions into the up-to-date and gilded
Bohemia, and the Bohemians sometimes
invade precincts where they themselves
confess to 4 feeling of restraint.
1t is, in short, impossible to keep the
smart women and the painted ladies
apart. They like to survey one an
other out of the tail of the eye, esti-
mate the cost and tit and shade of be-
comingness OF the toilet, and it pleases
Mrs. Orchid better than when she
