TO CHOOSE A HUSBAND.
What Kind to Pick Out in the Year
1905.


1905. -
Madame de Thebes, the French sor-
ceress and palmist, gives the following
advice to the girls regarding the proper
man to marry during the year 1905;
Leon girls should take warning:
The husband chosen in 1905 should be
a hardy pilot, capable Of conducting his
little family safely to port. To do this
properly he must have first health
lnfallibly you may tell by his hand
the vigor of his constitution.
If he is in perfect state of health,
blessed with physique that will en-
dure, in spite of hardships and trials,
his fingers should be as long as the
palm of his hand, each one measuring
exactly it's length from the point where
it is joined to it; the hand should be
well proportional, firm and slightly
rosy.
Study the palm attentively. The line
of life should form perfect curve
around the Mount of Venus, which is
enclosed with tho third joint or phalanx
of the thumb. This line should be well
defined, not to deep, not too sunken;
not too red, but just rosy. Look at it
attentively. If it begins between the
thumb ard the index finger with fork
ed line, take it as a sign of exceptional
health.
If there are no dots or sudden pauses
or islands along the line, life will be
long. You may be sure his health is in
| perfect condition.
| A badly formed line of life will
threaten the peace of a hearthstono
Beware of it. Health should be at the
foundation of home. After health you
should want to be certain that your
future husband has good conscience, a
strong will, loving, tender heart, an
honest soul.
Be sure then that he has square fiji
gers. If he has he will be good pilot
a good counsellor and guide for his wife
and children. He will be good work
man, careful of his duties, responsible
and painstaking. He might become a
remarkable administrator.
| He should have a big long thumb
Such thumb means the courage tc
think and act. But be careful that the
tips of the fingers are not thick AND
round like balls, for that would NEAR
stubbornness and cruelty.
Now turn the hand of your future
husband over again and study well the
palm.
Beware of line of life that is big and
red. Read in such one violence and
wickedness. Do not marry him
Rather break your engagement.
- Vol. -%,a ~ t. know something of his
intellectual qualities. They are plainly
set forth in the head line.
Be sure that the head lines spring
from the life line and descends lightly
toward the palm. The possessor of this
is reasonable; he has a good brain, he is
serious, intelligent. He is faithful and
sincere.
See that the head line is not too
straight. If it should be do not be sur
prised if your husband is grasping, if he
denies you money, even on your honey
moon. 1t should be slightly curved and
not too short. A man with short head
line is apt to be frivolous and inconsis-
tent. He will not be good husband.
The line of heart which curves from
the outside edge Of the palm toward the
fourth finger should be straight and not
too deep. Such one means luck, sue
cess, tenderness and constanoy.
Do not marry man who has no heart
line. There are such, but beware Of
them. Also beware if the line is form
ed in sort of chain. He who possesses
chained line of heart will be unfaith.
full to you. He will love often and never
long.
Red dots should also be warning.
The man to marry is man with
square fingers, generous palm, slight
ly rosy, firm and soft. Such hand will
denote energy, intelligence and the
capacity to be good husband.
