Igion and her art You ask what this
art is That l am unable to tell but l
would suggest from this same first finger
that the emotions are called largely INTO
play l fancy the owner would do Wen on
the stage, though it may be she is paint
er or musician.
THE second finger indicates moodiness
a fuctuating, high-strung temperament,
familiar with the blue devils, yet very
jolly and gay at times
1T is the third finger, however, that
proves the artist. DO you see how suave-
" the lines extend from one side to the
other, absolutely unbroken, except by the
cushion Look at both hands. l always
read from the left hand and prove my
statements by the right-this woman
loves luxury, aud she is astonishingly ex-
travagant.
Now the little finger-and it is an ex-
cellent little fnger-shows success to
marked degree not only of what we call
fame but power to get money. If she IS
an artist or a writer, her work commands
good prices"
Then turning to the writer, Miss Blank
asked: "Am | not to know even now,
whose impressions l have been reading2'
She then learned for the first time that
she had been giving the personal charac-
teristics of Nine Melba.
The next impressions selected were
those of Lieut.. Hobson.
There is absolute lack of fear, with
great self-control and decision shown by
the lines of these Impressions There are
no contradictions, no signs of vacillatng
in any of these lines, but the man IS not
artistic There are no customs and the
sweep of the lines are complete, and |
may say, beautiful, for they signify one
who can be depended upon in any emer-
gehey. He has a logical mind and Is
swayed by reason, yet he can show cour-
age TO the point of freshness. He is Wig

And the third. an absence of artistic
