solution I have ever known, ard, in
fact in some very few eases proved, was
arrived at by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton
(who was a most earnest student OF the
science); he asserted that the evil char

If the ring IS cut by a stray line on
the mount OF Apollo It denotes loss of
fortune and position by the worst kind
of debauchery. tbs is not likely to be
found except in an otherwise bad hand;
broken at any point it means sensuality.
| Marriage lines are not necessarily mar
riages that are sanctioned by law or
church rites; they are those in evidence
of a love that unites heart and soul
Though there are indications in different
parts of the hands on lines and mounts
corroborating and substantiating them
the marriage lines proper are found on
the percussion side of mount of Mercury,
running horizontally with line of heart,
and between that line and Mercury'e fin
ger The intensity of the affection is por-
trayed by the depth and length of the
line. If more than one line is in evidence
YOU must look out for sign of widow or
widowerhood, or divorce The line, at its
best, should be clear, and we'll on the

finger, the marriage will be early in life,
between eighteen and twenty-five; mid
way between finger and heart line, 1t will
occur nearer twenty-eight,and close TO the
heart, at thirty-fve or later. The exact
date IS usually established by the line
coming fron1llthen mount of Venus and
reaching the lifeline (already referred to
