| When the thumb is too flexible, or
turns back towards the wrist, the own
er is recklessly extravagant, and when
money matters are considered is lack
ing moral consciousness.
Short, crooked fingers show teas
ing disposition. If the rest of the
hand is bad they indicate q crooked
nature.
Narrow mindcdncss and bigotry are
unfortunate qualities in either man
or woman. In man these traits are
often indicated by short, square fingers
and short head line.
The stiff hand and thumb-oppositc
of flexible thumb-arc indicative of
a grasping, avaricious nature. Obsti-
macy is a characteristic. If the
hand does not open wide the owner is
miscrly.
Napoleon was not an agreeable hus-
band, as poor Josephine could testify.
Even Maria Louisa rather feared him.
lie had an index finger that was as
long as the middle one. This shows
excess Of pride and a dominccrinp ma
turc.
a short, wide thumb shows cx-
trcmc obstinacy or misdirccted will
power.
If the hand or palm is very hollow,
the man will be unsuccessful in bust
ness, and be the target for all misfor-
tune in money matters.
A heart line that goes all the way
across the hand shows that the green
eyed monster, jealousy, is enthroned
IN the heart. It should be avoided as
one would tho plague.
II the heart line is chained, that is,
if it is in links, like the old-fashioned
log chain, its owner is firt. Such a
man is very bad if the line is very
white and starts under the Mount of
Saturn, which is the mount immedi-
ately below the middle finger.
"A heart line that is entirely bare of
branches indicates cold and unsym-
pathetic nature.
When the head line is tied tight
to the life line at beginning, it shows
the man &c be lacking in self-confi-
dence.
If the head and life lines are far
apart at the beginning, excess of self
confidence is characteristic, ana
daring and foolhardiness are indicated.
This is the hand Of General Sir Red
vcrs Butler, who has recently stirred
up British army circles.
If the Mount of Venus, at the base
OF the thumb, is bare of lines, and if
the heart line starts under Saturn,
the person is cold and unsympathetic.
An excessively large Mount of We
nus shows the man to be abounding in
animal magnetism, conceit, sensual
ism and sel6shness.
If the head, heart and life lines
start from one point the owner should
/
be avoided. He is dangerous. He
stops at nothing to achieve his ends;
he rashes b!iadly into danger, and has
been known to commit murder.
A network Of lines on the palm
shows worrying sensitive nature.
Breaks in life line indicates i'll
health. Other signs Of delioacy are
blue nails, no moons, short, fat nails,
nails curved in all ways, and Auted
nails.
If q mans nails are curved over like
a cats, he is cruel and brutal.
Red, short, wide nails are signs of
pugnacity and hot temper.
This long list of bad marks need not
frighten the girl Of the day dreams.
It should be remembered that these
signs should be regarded as serious
only when they are very prominent.
There may be redeeming or contradict
ing qualities elsewhere in che hand.
On the whole, however, they may be
taken as fairly good guide in the
choice OF husband.
