To ascertain whether thing Is past or yet to
come, it is necessary that you ask the subjects
age, that is if you are not proficient at judging
ages.
Through past experiences and discoveries IT has
been learned that tere the Head and Fate lines

thcrcabout, this being the middle life the
meridian line, ," so the student can be guided by
this in determining about dates
In conclusion / may add that for Fate line
to show luck. there must be other indications in
the hand for the luck to come from, such as
signs of pluck and determination. Nevertheless,
the line will reveal the degree 6f success our
efforts will be crowned with So it is perhaps
better to be born pucky than rich
