CHARACTER TOLD BY THE THUMB
What a Kesn-Eyed Scotland Yard De-
tective Has Learned.

What Kesn-Eyed Scotland Yard De-
tective Has Learned
There is no more sure test of a
persons character than the thumb
said one of the keenest members of
the Scotland Yard detectives the 9TH
er day, in the course of conversation.
ITO those who understand thumb
language the thumb is the most tell
tale trademark On the body, for it is
member that is always entirely over
looked. l never place any reliance on
the word of a woman whose thumb
closes inside her palm when she
speaks, and person who shuts The
first and closes the fingers over the
thumb is absolutely untrustworthy.
IF, in the course OF conversation
with a man concerning one of my
cases, | notice that his thumb Is
pressed closely against the forefnger,
l know then he is doing his utmost to
deceive me, and Is willing, if he gets
the chance, to tell me deliberate false
hoods in order to put me off the track.
On the other hand, if the thumb is
well extended, and stands out, then
know the man whom | address is Of
sympathetic nature, and full of good
intentions.
Notice when a man shakes hands
with you. If his hand is soft, and the
grasp almost imperceptible, that man
is of weak and vacillating nature.
He may have sincere and good mo-
tives, but, being by nature weak, he is
easily led, and therefore not to be
trusted. Notice when your lady
friend talks with you. Watch her
thumbs, and if her sentiments are Of
a particularly lofty nature her thumb
will tell Immediately if she means
what she is saying. A woman with
large and well-extended thumb has a
heart that might be envied by any
body"
