would indicate that he has made and
seen good deal of filthy lucre" un-
til about thirty-seven or thirty-eight
where his fate line is arrested and
broken, showing where the tiger
arose"-telling of misfortune, ill-luck
and Encouragement. At thirty-eight
or forty the fate line tells of q marke
change in career. Between forty-five
and fifty the fate line is rayed in
ladder formation towards the mount
of jupiter, showing a gradual rise to-
wards veneration for divinity.
The head line up to about thirty
eight is very straight, showing him
to be of a shrewd, calculating and
practical nature, set in his ways and
inclined to take advantage or influ-
ence others by sharp practice. At this
date il slopes, showing more the i'm
aginative and cultured.

of affection, a branch falling from it
down into the center of the palm de-
notes troubles in love over which,
however. he didn't lose much sleep.
The life line is long and clear up
to about slxty-three, showing quite
a healthy life up to this point; past
this age the line shows a diminishing
of vital force brought about by early
privations. The life line tells he has
Travelled a great deal. and still many
travels before him; likely to die in a
foreign country, or at a spot far from
his place of birth.
The beginning of his head and life

the courage of his convictions!
The sun line is very poorly marked

calling, and after his demise his grave

shown, besides several minor attach

The Mount Venus would tell, as a
rule, rather Indifferent to such things

The hand as a whole shows very

man who is far more successful in the
east and middle states than the west.
The ailments he is inclined to suffer
are such as an early impaired eye

irregular beats, palpitation and even
aneurism. The accidents that threat
en- him most are caused by fire.

Answers to Questions.

Lily Rosebud asks the following
questions: What am l best adapted
for? When will l marry? Will l tra-
vel or go abroad?
This palm shows a very ambitious
nature, but hesitating and lack of self.
confidence, also easily crushed and dis
couraged in the struggles for exist
ence. If scientific work, or a science
of some kind had been taken up, great
success would have been made: also
talent IN designing or lettering. Is not
very original, but has great power to
rectify or improve. The heart line
shows great obstacles and interferen-
ces caused from others. Marriage is
shown between 2S and 80; will travel a
good deal; also a sea voyage is shown,
which is likely to be rather unpleas-
ant. The mount of Venus tells of a
past love affair that has been failure
through interferences of relatives or
parents; is to become rather wealthy,
but late in life.
Wrease Du Jay asks the following
questions: What am l best adapted
for? When will I marry? Win my
marriage be a success or failure?
This palm would indicate person
who would be more successful in work
intellectual or artistic than the prac-
teal or material. The head line shows
keen perception of the beautiful A
position Of responsibility or authority
of men, such as foreman, supervision
newspaper business, etc. The head line
contains a long branch indicating
wavering nature and inclined to be-
come moody. Heart line shows weak
ness or changeability in affection and
not given TO deep love. However, the
palm tells OF Il past love affair which
appears to be a union. Marriage is
indicated before 80. This union or
marriage does not appear all sun
shine, as the girdle of Venus denotes
a highly-strung, sensitive tempera-
ment, person rather changeable and
moody and easily offended over little
things. VIII be fairly successful, but
brought about through personal efforts.

the teachers of the various schools have
met together with the principal once a
month, now the new system provides
for a series of meetings during one

being composed of teachers of one
grade only. This is felt by the teach

gives each teacher an opportunity to
compare the work of her school with

associates. He is a student of human
'ity and great reader of character and
is proud with the pride of being dic-
ferent from others. Egotistical through
that very belief in his own PERSONAL
ity.
The palm shows him to be religious
ly inclined, but independent in his
form of creed. To be more accurate,
| should say that he has a devotional
sense, more than a religious one.
Rather fanatical in his belief; mys-
terry in every sense appeals to him

to account for the faith that forces
him to be devotional rather than re-
ligious.
