IT. He Line of Marriage is that line
found on the Mount Of Mer-
curry running crossWise at the
base of the little finger When
normal it should be long, clear, and
straight Gig. -, as such signifies a
long and happy marriage.
To be abe TO tell wether one is mar
ried or not is a state Of proficiency
that Few practitioners may attain.
However this can be done Moreover
may add that this line does not al
ways recognize the mere fact OF cere-
mony. for by the term marriage is
understood in paImistry, all such alli-
ances as are physiologically equal TO
bonds consecrated by law or church.
IL does not embrace short affairs of the
heart but TO intercourse that has left
absolute and durable marks at the
time upon the sympathetic nervous
system OF the subject. Further we
often ind a marriage line shown at
an age much later than when the mar
riage took place. This can easily be
accounted for.
The line is accurate I'm its prOguostics
in each case where the subject really
loved and was free TO act according 10
the dictates OF his or her heart
Since there arein no two natures alike.
the reader viii never find two hands
indicating the same possibilities or re-
suits as 10 marriage, so we can readily
see what a difficult problem the mar
riage line is. As with some tempera-
ments marriage may have its chief In
hUence upon the career. whereas with
others upon the love side Of the ma

There are three portions of the hand
Indicating or relating to marriage and
its possible outcome that the reader

liable in its prOEnOstiCs, whereas on
comic, philosophic or psychic hand Il
is often misleading. In the latter types
IL is advisable TO depend mostly on the
markings on the Mount OF Venus. still

When the line is clear and long it
can be considered as a legal bond, that
is if the subject has reached the age
where the line is shown. so the longer
the line. the longer the union, be it
marriage or uaison.
