\ LESSON IN PALMISTRY 7

! power 10 bring IDEAS before the world, or rise
TO any great height OF power.
II is here that the student often loses interest
in the study of palmistry He or She may know
someone who follows literary or musical career,
vet may not possess the comic OF artistic hand,
so one must never take thing decisive.
However wherever the square portion is retained
the abilities Will be brought out to the greatest
advantage.
Here I might mention that the greatest pianists
never had comic fingers but, on the contrary,
smooth and delcatcly squared
The palm thick and longer than the fingers
is sign OF scnsuality, eluttony and materialism.
In this case the palm is extremely hard. The
owner of such palms seek beauty to enjoy 1t, not
for any moral or mental rcason-mcrcly TO graft
fy a taste. They are open-hcarted TO their IN
timates and closc.6stcd TO creditors, also highly
inflated with their Importance and do love
to pose" IN the world.
The posscssor of a comic hand should have a
wellformcd thumb and good head line-for this
Characteristic is essential In every observation
of this kind
The more the comic fingers lean towards a
point, the less self-posscsson and selfrehancc is
shown Where the hand is SOFT the thumb
small and comic portion occentuatcd, then impulse
and lack of seltcontrol are their chief short
comings.
A comic hand with knots IS a favorable indica-
ton Here we have more reason and less eccen-
trcity. still love for the beautiful, but more
towards the refined and eNactng order, The ar
tistic side is also less inspired, and robbed of its
originality; greater power to erectify
1t is important to remember that the comic
hands are also found in the business world in
fact in many walks of hfc even in mechanics,
hut in this case they follow their work purely
from principle or duty, not because they love 1T.
In such cases the form of the fingers their thick
ness and texture must be taken into considera-
tion. / have found them on the soldier, the
military officer whose qualities have caused him
to become prime favorite, for the large thumbs

When the artistic palm is found firm and clas-

or a calling demanding purely emotional ability,
When the palm is square the likelihood of
achieving fame should be still greater With

tors. My observation through the glass over the
footghts of great actors and actresses has al
ways revealed 10 the combination of the
square hand and conc fingers. Where the
purely comic type was found they depended more
upon inspiration Of the moment than through
reason or study, lhese people may do things
well but seldom know how they do them, con.
scoucntly tho square portion always carries
depths and brcadths.
The square nand with comic fingers is often
mistaken as a purely comic type True, the I'm.
gers arc COMIC and at a casual glance may give
the whole hand similar appearance. but in
reality the hand proper is perfectly square. Tho
square part gives the practical determination,
consequently 1t is this formation which brings
about the power of expression. So then have
the hand OF the writer, the creator of music, the
actor, in fact, the hand that creates. that is If

Owners oil artistic hands cannot stand a hum

for restraint. With short first phalanN OF the
thumb they do not care for control; in fact have
no desire to control. They observe the law,
but only when 1t does not interfere with them
personally. Since enthusiasm is strong factor
in their makeup, they need much excitement,
consequently domestic life to them is often dull
and unintercstng, so alasl in marriage.

IDEAS Delu DY tnem OF lne cuuCdtiou
and treatment OF women. And they, IN Their
turn, carried these ideas to Mexico. In fact, the
Mexican women of the upper classes were much
frccr under the Aztccs than they were aftcrward
under Spanish rule. And until quite lately this
condition of affairs has prevailed in Mexico since
its freedom from the Spanish crown.
Not so many years ago when a Mexican
went shopping she remained in her carriage in
the street and sent her servant into the store TO
call one of the clerks 10 wait upon her. He
came out and received her orders, and brought
the goods to her for examination. This peculiar
method of shopping was due to the old Mexican
idea that a lady of good family should be ex-
elusive and should shield herself from the gaze OF
the public, and, in fact, from every one except
her own immediate relatives and most intimate
friends This idea has been dying bard for over
century, and it is still far from beng complete
ly buried in some parts of the republic.
The Mexican woman is naturally home lover
She has no clubs to take her away from Der
home. and she has few outside interests. Even
when she is philanthropically inclined which she
very often is, her ideas of life tend 10 make her
place her charitable contributions IN the hands
of sister superiors of converts or directors of
charitable institutions and works for In the
cause she has at heart.
The Mexican women OF the middle and upper
classes have never been athletic, at least since
the Spanish conquest. This, of course was due
to the secluded life they led. But the women
of the lower classes have ever been stout and
muscular, for much work OF heavy kind has
always been their lot. On account of her quleter
disposition it is not probable that. for years at
least. the Mexican woman will take the interest
in athletics that is being shown by her
American sister Another reason is that the
sympathy OF the Mexican people is all against
her doing
In the Mexican schools the girl is taught many
things in the way of needlework, painting, en-
broidcry drawing and designing, and these later
serve to ill in her peaceful, uneventfu life, after
leaving school. To this must be added music.
For here as in Spain and other Latin countries,
most women of the middle and upper classes re-
ceiyc an excellent musical education.

Mexican women are delightful entertainers, and
their knowledge OF music aids not little in their
