mental conclusion the little finger traces
the thought. And, as l said, the two
middle fingers are emotive. Notice how
you caress the cheek of child. No
tce how you stroke a kitten-with the
middle fingers. And in all gestures
prompted by the affection these two
fingers should lead and do, unless ma
trre has become perverted. Isn't there
an old belief that there is a chord which
connects the heart with the third finger
and that is the reason it is chosen for
the wedding ring. And take the thumb,
which is vital In suspension of vital
ity, either in faintng or in death, the
thumb seeks the center of the hand.
Dels2rte claimed, after years of observa-
'tion, that he could distinguish between
d mother and step-mother by the posi-
ton of her thumb as she clasped her
child Such little thing as the thumb
offers a wide field for study.
'Delsarte said that ordinarily we do
not notice peoples thumbs very much,
but if a person does use his thumb in a
way as to attract attention he is ego
tistical. The nose is another small fea-
ture that is interesting to study. 1t is
said that no feature so clearly indicates
whether or not the person is possessed
with the love of power and desire to
rule. And notice how expressive the
shoulders are. Have We any words in
our English language that tell more
than the French shrug? And the ell
bows! Notice how full of self-conscious-
ness they are!@ Did you ever observe a
vain little waitress take her orders and
with mincing steps and elbows promi-
nent walk down the dining room?
| Every attitude of the feet, head and
| the body is expressive of some emo
ton or state of the being and certain
! gestures therefore correspond with GER
| tain attitudes and facial expressions.
One of you have asked me if going
by rule does not make one mechanical?
1t need not do so. Forty pupils learn
| writing Of the same teacher and by
! the same system, yet they each have
! their own special hand. Individuality
must enter into everything"
