habtual or one in which it has only temporary
occupancy of the persons mind
In Fig. we see person who carries the left
hand gracefully at the side, the right hand rest
ing upon the chest, with the fingers loose and
slightly curved. Here we have an individual in
whom the artistic qualities predominate. This
is nose very often seen in woman, particularly
SO when she is one who has appreciation for the
beautiful. These individuals also possess greater
psychic qualities than women who are interested
in more commonplace or matter-of-fact things
This pose l have often noticed in cultured and
refined people at parties where / had been en-
gagged to entertain thus giving the key to their
principal characteristics.

walks with mincing gait, with left arm held

and as for her, she would give in right awav,

she has all sorts of ways and means of carving
the game through"
"Such as what?"
"Well, one is that of getting a tremendous
mad on. When she gets that way, all you have
to do in order to win out is to put on your hat
and go out for night with the boys. Don't pay
any attention to her tantrums and she'll come
around in jiffy."
THE Fatal ERROR
"But suppose she gets so mad that she goes
back home to mother?" the foorwalker asked.
"Oh, thatll be all right. You just go ovet to
mothers yourself and fetch her back again. That
will convince her that you are the real candy,
for sure, and you'll have no further trouble OF
that nature"
"Well, how about the women that cry?" sug-
sested the fioorwalker. "When pretty woman
cries, fellow just can't help putting her head
on his shoulder, and when he does that, why
then he's goner for sure"
"Of course he is. But don't you ever be such
a fool as to do it. She'll wrap you around her
little finger and despise you for letting her. just

Next we have the individual who will make no

He carries his hands loosely by his side Gig, p,
fingers partially closed, still not limp and lazy.
This person is merely careful about telling what
he knows. If he wants to, he can keep conf
dence or shield business secret. In partially
closing the fingers he is not hiding bad deeds
or traits, but does not care to con6de in every
one he meets He is self-contained, cautious and
trustworthy, yet withal, man who does not
like to have to answer too many questions.
In Fig we have the individual who carries
his hands at his side with fingers nearly open,
the hand dangling, giving it limp and lifeless
appearance. Thus we have before us a person
who lacks mental decision, one who wavers and
vacillates, person who would be hardly safe
to trust with secret. Further, the owner Of
such a hand would be lazy in mind, consequently

pout and cry, and tell you that she is going

you'd feel like thirty cents if you could know
