THE MOUNTS OF THE HANDS.
The mount of Jupiter is found at the root
of the pointing finger.
Its absence indicates lack of respect for self,
for parents old age and religion. The subject
is generally coarse and ill-bred in manners.
When normal, indicates ambition, honest pride,
religion, rather reserved and disincnation to
minge with people. The owners possess
eneryg, love FOR power and usually become
leaders in their vocatons and are well qualified
for positions of responsibility or authority. 1t
is the mans mount.
When exaggerated indicates overwhelming
ambition, domineering spirit, selfish lover OF
power vindietive, jealous, and one who is high
ly inflated with his own importance.
The mount of Jupiter is found at the root
the middle finger, When absent, indicates
poor and dull life,
When normal indicates love for sombre
things, solitude, caution, quietness. sincere and
earnest in work, desire to invest money in land
and buildings, also a longing for occult sciences
and mental philosophy. For music, but of the
sacred order The confirmed bachelor often has
the mount well developed
When exaggerated, indicates extreme sensitive
ness, melancholy, gloomy and changeable in
moods, also sign of fatality and with high
mount of the moon a constant horror of death
with a sloping head line, it is sign of self
destruction.
The mount of the Sun is found at the root
of the ring finger
When absent. indicates a dull intellect and lit
tie interest in the beautiful of life either art or
nature.
When normalindicates wealth, fame love
for all that is beautiful and artistic and very often
the power or talent to express the same. People
with this mount fairly developed are often unhap-
py in their marital relations for their ideals are
too high and are prone to compare their life
partners with others they may meet, thus not
ing their shortcomings consequently are more
impressed with others than their own.
MERCURY's STRANGE FUNCTION.
When exaggerated, indicates an extraordinary
vanity, hankering after fattery and great desire
for wealth, notoriety, show, envy, curiosity and
an unreasonng temper also recorded by the
abnormal development of the mount These sub

far superior to others. / admit they often

Hoqu Married Women Mar Matches

diately set about to SOW discord and mar the
match.
SAVE GIRLS FROM THEIR FRIENDS.
A clever, designing married woman may easily
disconcert man in the first stages of his admira-
tion for some inexperienced girl. To begin with,
he never suspects motive in some other wo-
mans interference and therefore is prepared
to take whatever the matchmaker may choose
to say upon trust. Should the object of his
admiration have exceptional taste in dress, the
praises her taste, but drops a hint
extravaganza Should she possess a
pretty face, it also is duly admitted but her
numerous love conquests dwelt upon by the
to such an extent that her listen
er become convinced he has narrowly escaped
the wiles of heartless coquette
There is many girl to-day who has to bewail
the loss of an incipent lover owing to the machi-
nations of some married woman whom she re-
CARDS in the light Of friend, but whose fattery
is insincerity itself.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-03

up her tiffs with her husband because of her
love for him.
She is not restrained by the pride that would
keep a single girl from making up with her
lover She is not ashamed to 90 and tell John
that she was in the wrong; but the young girl
would more think Of making advances to
Arthur than she would think of flying She de
cares that as it was Arthur's prerogative to
propose it is also his prerogative to make the
first advances.
Arthur is probably just as proud as she is,
and being hurt to the quick stays away and
nurses his grievances until it is too late to come
back
quarrel between unmarried lovers is dan
gerous thing, because they have not the com
pelling motives for making up that married peo-
pie have, and also because there are all sorts
Of things that actually keep them from forgiv
ing ard forgetting. If they do learn to forgive
and forget, it takes them long time, and they
have certainly no conception of bearing and for
bearing for only married life teaches that.
A WORLD THAT DOES NOT EXIST.
Before they are married they take themselves
and each other too seriously. The girl does not
know AS much about men as her married sister
does; she has not seen enough of the sin and
folly in the world to be able to forgive it. She
is young and she has ideals, she lives in ro-
mantle world that does not exist
Suppose that she has formed an ideal of
man, all girls do, and suppose that she thinks
that Arthur is the incarnation of that ideal
Arthur has perhaps never happened to mention
the fact that occasionally when he is out with
the boys he takes glass or two. He has never
seen any particular harm in it, and it has not
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-03

other fellows remark was probably made Just
as innocently as it was received by the girl,
but the lovers insane jealousy will not per-
init him to take this point of view.
II he goes away to another city on business
and II her letter does not come in the first mail,
ne sets the reason down as being probably that
she was out having good time with the other
fellow; and when it does come he magines that
he can read all sorts of things between the lines,
ana so decides not to. answer it. This, of course,
results in broken engagement
BEWARE OF THE QUARREL.
Whether the lovers are married or single they
should beware of quarrel. If they are single
the chances are against their making up. and
love is too and precious thing to be
lightly played with Men and women are not
perfect, and we should not expect them to be.
Ideals do not exist, although we may find people
who approximate to them
Love- also, is not perfect. Certainly at the
beginning, when it is new, it has many things to
learn and to unlearn. 1t is only after many long
years that love begins to come near the perfect
stage.
The reason why lovers quarrel is most dan
gerous is because even if it is made up the feel
ing of the lovers for each other cannot possibly
be the as it was before they duarreled.
They may love each other more after the sweet
ceremonies of the making up process, but there
is the chance that they may find their affections
less, and this is certainly big risk to take.

successful match for girl, so surely tact
less matron or jealous friend irretrievably spoil
and ruin girls best chances.
SELFISH YOUNG WIVES.
After all, it is not only in her parents home
that girl meets with members Of the opposite
sex. Frequently 1T is at the houses of friends
that she makes new acquaintances, and the
young married woman might, if she chose,
be girls best friend in this respect.
But does she ever so choose? Very rarely.
She likes to reign supreme in her husbands
eyes and the eyes of his masculine friends, and
when she has a new pink blouse she will take care
that Mary, who has dropped in to tea in a new
blue one, is not pressed to stay to supper and
meet them. She does not invite her to in
and spend some evening, though she may know
very well that her husbands great friend Jack
is one of the best fellows going, and only longing
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-03

to meet some nice girl and settle down with her
his wife.
But Jack has charming way of returning her
own and her husbands informal hospitality by
all sorts of delicate attentions-a box at the
theatre, hothouse flowers for the table-and all
these delightful courtesies would be bestowed in
another quarter once he ceased to be bachelor
Far from being friend to the unattached
maiden, the married woman, be she young or be
she old, is apt upon occasion to be very danger
Gus enemy. She may notice that a certain man
of her acquaintance is evidently attracted by
certain girl, whom she also knows, and is osten-
sbly friendly with. 1t might be supposed that,
having husband herself, and therefore having
no matrimonial interest in any other man, she
would do her best to further a match between
two persons, in both Of whom she processes to
take friendly interest. Undoubtedly there are
good, kind, and dsinterested women who would
do so, but it must be confessed there are many
who, by word here and a hint there, will imme-

I the front door behind him, leaving her to have
it out with herself.
The wife is anxious to make up because she
doesn't care to become an object of pity She
doesn't want to have her old school girl chum
come around and shed tears over her bemoanng
the nature Of man and assuring her that men are
all alike adding, "And you know. you can't
trust one of them around the corner" In the
old days she had been glad to talk things over
with her chum, but since her marriage she has
drawn away from her and from all the other
girls she used to know. She certainly never
intended to let these friendships wane but mar
riage has somehow shut her up in little narrow
world Of two people Nobody is permitted to
peep into the inner life of this world her own
mother is acquainted only with its frontiers.
The wife also wants to make up because OF
the love she has for her husband A woman's
love remains in a romantic condition longer than
her husbands does. because she is naturally more
sentimental In the home atmosphere this SEN
timentality is apt to grow rather than decrease,
whereas what little sentimentaty the husband
has been able to get up for the engagement and
the honeymoon. soon dies natural death in the
prosv everyday atmosphere Of the business world.
KEEPS HIM LONGER A LOVER.
A woman with no children has no one but
her husband to lavish her affections upon, and
So because she has nothing to think of except
to make herself charming in his eyes, she keeps
him her lover longer than she would have il
she had had the care brought by baby hands
tugping at her skirts, and baby lips lisping out
their evening PRAYER at her knee. If she has no
children, the romance of her love lasts longer,
but then she misses the joys Of motherhood. In
either case the married woman is forced to make

AysfDyN we have before us today the mounts
ykHfSW of the hand l class this with Chirog
nomy or the study of the shape of the
hand. These mounts tell of constitutional quail
tiles, disposition, aptitude and tendency towards
disease. To be able to pick the most prominent
mount or mounts is to be able to tell the sub
jects principle characteristics and physical
weaknesses at glance.
These mounts or swellings are found at the
root of each finger and easily located by
tracing the cuticle to the apex or summit Of
the mount thus learning whether the mount is
in its proper place or leaning to a neighborlng
mount To the inexperienced eye magnityng
glass may be of great assistance. The illus
tration herewith will give better understand
ing than words.
The mounts have often been said, and very
Justly think, that they can be considered as
similar in their relation to the faculties of the
human head as explained by the prenologist.
They are either found absent, normal, or
exaggerated, as the may be.
When normal they have only slight eleva.
ton. Venus, however, is allowed greater de-
velopment.
When mounts are normal they are at their
best When exaggerated they destroy the good
qualities indicated by carrying them to excess.
A mount that is much crossed by confused
lines is an equivalent to an exaggeration. These
lines however, must lie in the confines of the
square under each finger. The illustration shows
how much they may cover.
These mounts are seldom found at their proper
places (at the root of the 6nger) but leaning
to neighboring mount, the meaning of which
the reader will be able to interpret after their
significance in their proper places has been
learned.
A hand that shows a total absence of mounts
that is, when the space at the root of the fingers
appears perfectly fiat, even hollow the indca.
ton is that the individuals life will be negative
one This l have often noticed on hands where
the individual had little or no chance to develop
in early life, due to privation or opposition of
parents.
When these mounts appear to be fairly in
evidence, it denotes high principle and courage,
also life of peace and plenty.
On hard hand the mounts are never as
prominent on a softer type. However the
6rmness OF the hand itself will make up for the
