If a fri or woman is about to en-
ter mjtrimony she is, of course,
anxiols to know the traits and
characteristics of the man she has
cho&n as her lord and master.
Th@e she naturally fatters herself
that she knows pretty well from her
association that has come to them
ID their courtship.
But many small things may have
Slipped her notice. Good points and
weakness may be there that have
never come under her observation.
Both the man and the woman are
apt to be on their best behavior in
the days before marriage, and such
things as hasty temper or sulki-
ness may not come out in the brief
period that they are in each others
society.
But there is one point of the hu-
man anatomy that never deceives.
AS the hand is, so is the nature of
the one to whom it belongs. Look
there closely if you are going to
link your life with that of another.
In choosing a husband, avoid
man with long, narrow hands. This
is the hand of nervous, fussy man.
1t shows that he is vascillating.
The fat hand, with puffy fingers,
rs not the one to slip the wedding
ring upon fair finger. The owner
of such hand is apt to be lazy and
selfish. Very white hands are indicat-
We of an egotistical, self-absorbed
nature.
IF the man has very red hands
he is quick tempered, possessed of
h spirits and sanguine temper
ament. He is a delightful friend,
but makes a poor husband. A hard,
thick-skinned hand is often the pro-
perty of man who lacks intellig-
ice and who is slow and phlegmatic.
IF the hand or palm is very hol-
low the man will be unsuccessful in
business. A network of lines on
the palm shows a worrying, sensi-
i've nature. Signs of fdelicate health
ere blue, short, tat nails, with no
moons. If the nails are curved over
ike a cats the man is cruel and
brutal. Red, short, wide nails are
sigus of pugnacitY and hot tenn
per.
Meaning well, but seeing things
in different light from day to day,
IS the person whose fingers take a
different curve. Bow-legged fingers
Or those which touch only the tip
and base, show ability and strength
of character. The fingers which
bend backward mean powerful de-
termination. If they are round,
strength, both physical and mental
is shown. Stubby finger are grasp
ing fingers. A finger broad at the
dip denotes energy. Pointed fingers
with smooth joints belong to an i'm
oulsive, tickle and impatient man.
A little finger with decided pro-
minence at the base upon the out
side shows good Judgment and good
qualities generally.
After all, it Is not necessary to
closely scrutinize the hand, which
is offered to you in marriage, before
breathing the final mo" or Yes.
A glance at a mans thumb should
be sufficient, for the thumb con-
fesses the man. For all times it has
,een divided into three parts typifY-
ing the three qualities that master
the world will, logic and love.
When the thumb is unequally de-
veloped and the first phalange is
extremely long it is neither love nor
logic that governs the man but
merely sheer will. If the middle
phalange be much longer than the
first reason predominates. When
the third phalange is long and the
thumb is short, man is revealed as
the slave of the senses, guided by
o:+l,a~ xx7il1 nor reason

stack were destroyed by fire at the
