The combination Of a large thumb
and q broad palm shows courage to

clear head line. absolute lack of fear,
and great calmness and decision in tho
moment of danger.
A small thumb always indicates q
sentimental, impressionable nature.f in

or Of executing work OF any value.

as to details; he will be careful not to
make many promises, but will keep
the few he makes to the letter, even at
a loss to himself; he will be easily
offended. very quick to imagine Sights
and not ready to forgive either real or
imagined offenses.
The possessor of a small hand will
attempt almost anything, rarely, how
ever, finishing anything he UNDER
takes; is easily satisfied, both with
himself and with the world in general:
is fond of gayety and excitement:
easiness; is impressionable and in
hanmable to high degree; is rel1-
gious, but not deeply so; will make
promises and break them without COM

himself to details.
