The little finger that was held up showed
that its possessor would be lucky in love
affairs and constant in her affections. This
was proved by its oval tip. with we'll marked
lines near the joints.
Extreme delicacy of the lines of the finger
tips, not weakness, but threadlike cushions
especially of the third fingers, denote an
artistic talent When studying finger tips,
or phalangology. as it is called. the length
of the tips above the ball Of the finger must
be noted Unusual length shows that
