voice filled with a genuine touch of grief
often reaches their sweet will through their
hearts, and they are thus easily moved to give.
The sight of tears or a tale of stirs their
emotions despite the fact that they are selfish
where their own comfort is concerned. They
generally affix more Importance to passing glory
than to real or durable success. They possess a
strong love for the plastic arts sculpturing paint
ing. poetry of the Imagination and senses are
promoters of the beautiful in the solid and visible
form.
When the artistic palm is found firm and elias
tic with good thumb, the possessor of such a
combination should succeed in an artistic career,
or calling demanding purely emotional ability.
When the palm is square the likelihood Of
achieving fame should be still greater. With
such combination one has the artistic quail
ties backed up by practical determination
student and worker. Individuals with such types
make splendid actors actresses, singers and ora
tors. My observation through the glass over the
footlights of great actors and actresses has al
ways revealed to me the combination of the
square hand and comic fingers. Where the
purely comic type was found they depended more
upon inspiration Of the moment than through
reason or study. These people may do things
we'll but seldom know how they do them, con-
seouently the square portion always carries
depths and breadths.
The square nand with comic fingers is often
mistaken as a purely comic type. True, the fin-
GERS are COMIC and at a casual glance may give
the whole hand similar appearance, but in
reality the hand proper is perfectly square. The
square part gives the practical determination,
consequently It is this formation which brings
about the power of expression. So then we have
the hand of the writer, the creator of music, the
actor. in fact, the hand that creates, that is if
the palm be firm.
When the hand is soft or habby, it only shows
an appreciation, even talent, but too much en-
dowed with the force Of inertia and lacking the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

power to bring ideas before the world, or rise
to any great height of power.
1t 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,
yet may not possess the comic or artistic hand
must never take one thing as decisive
However wherever the square portion is retained
the abilities will be brought out to the greatest
advantage.
Here might mention that the greatest pianists
never had comic fingers, but, on the contrary
smooth and delicately squared ones
The palm thick and longer than the fingers
is sign of sensuality, gluttony and materialsm.
N this case the palm is extremely hard The
owner OF such palms seek beauty to enjoy it, not
for any moral or mental reason-merely to graft
fy taste. They are open-hearted to their in
Inmates and close-fsted to creditors, also highly
inflated with their own Importance and do love
to pose in the world.
The possessor of comic hand should have a
wellformed thumb and good head line-for this
characteristic is essential in every observation
of this kind
The more the comic fingers lean towards a
noint the less self-posseskon and self-reliance is
shown Where the hand is soft, the thumb
small and comic portion accentuated, then impulse
and lack of self-control are their chief short
comings
A comic hand with knots is favorable indica-
ton Here we have more reason and less eccen-
tricity still a love for the beautiful, but more
towards the refined and exactng order. The ar
tistc side is also less inspired, and robbed of its
originality; greater power to erecrlty.
It is important to remember that the comic
hands are also found in the business world; in
fact in many walks of life; even in mechanics,
hut in this case they follow their work purely
from principle or duty, not because they love it.
In such cases the form of the fingers, their thick
ness and texture must be taken into considera-
tion. I have found them on the soldier, the
military officer whose qualities have caused him
to become prime favonte; Tor the large thumbs s

owner is an artist. IL ls'IHO h"iiA -
the person of impulse, of instinct and OF emotion,
1t is sometimes found on artists, musicians ana
authors, yet it does not mean that all or even
many who possess it are followers OF protes-
sion.
In appearance the artistic palm, or hand, Is
rather broad at the wrist, tapering slightly to
the base. tapering down to the finger tip, and
resembling an elongated thimble, or cone, from
which fact it is sometimes called the "conical"
type.
In many instances the fingers not tapered,
being of an even thickness from the base to the
second joint The skin of the palm is usually
SOFT with the mounts plain; the nails fairly long,
and generally of medium texture.
The possessors of comic hands are the appre-
ciators of all that is beautiful and artistic, and
aside from beauty, prefer pleasure two character
istics which often rule their entire life.
Since they are not practical they prefer that
which pleases rather than that which pays.
So long as it pleases the eye and appeals to
their inner sells it matters little whether 1t be
true not.
Their nature on a whole is impulsive enthu-
siastic, emotional and sentimental, consequently
they are ruled more by impulse than calcula-
ton. Here is where this type radically differs
from the square spatulate hands.
Comic fingers make their owners very impress
sionable to surroundings and people with whom
they come in contact Their fondness for luxury
and ease is strong characteristic, particularly
so when the hand is full and fabby, in which
case they are selfish and everything must be
sacrificed to their love of luxury and Incidence.
1t is true they are clever and quick to grasp the
gist of a subject and can see the picture of a
thing in an instant but they are so deficient in
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

tact and perseverance that they seldom carry
out their plans. Through this very lack OF pa
thence and continuity they rarely, if ever, carry
out their artistic tastes, So one can readny un'
derstand why it is not always the hand OF one
who follows an artistic career This is only too
true where the hand is soft and the thumb
small.
EIoquence, music, color tears, JOY or sorrow
reaches their hearts, since they are exclteaole
and emotional. They are changeabe in moods,
and often run down from the acme OF enthu-
sasm to certain degree Of despair This is
especially true with short thumb and soft
palm They Judge people and things at first
sight, and seldom reason. And, strange as 1t
may seem their first impressions, as a rule, are
always the best. They live more in the ideal
than the real and appear to best advantage be-
fore strangers in company They are people
of many ideas.
Owners oil artistic hands cannot stand hum
drum life because they possess strong dislike
for restraint. With a short first phalanx OF the
thumb they do not care for control; in fact have
no desire to control. They observe the law,
but only when it 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 undressing, so alas in marriage
Owing to their emotional natures they fall
violently in love for the period The yoke of
matrmony soon becomes tiresome, and the same
thing over, day in and day out, becomes abso-
lutely unbearable. Their love for change and
excitement fills them with craving for travel,
entertainments, theatricals, etc. These are the
hands of the women who can always find spare
time to attend matnees and other places of
amusement and cause their neighbors TO gossip
and wonder how they can find 50 much time for
Measure, whereas the other women have always
SO many duties to perform in their homes that it
affords them little time for afternoons out
possessors of comic hands are fond of admira-
tion, in fact, can't live without love, and when
conscious that no one cares for them are much
put out They are clever conversationalsts,
charming, versatile and magnetic, thus they are
seldom without admirers. Studies generally come
easy, but they are more or less superficial in
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

ideas held by them of the education
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
freer under the Aztecs than they were afterward
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 woman
went shopping she remained in her carriage in
the street and sent her servant into the store to
call one of the clerks to 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 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 hard for over
century and it is still far from being 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 her
home, and she has few outside interests. Even
when she is phanthropically inclined, which she
very often is, her ideas of life tend to make her
place her charitable contributions In the hands
of sister superiors of converts or directors Of
charitable institutions and works for use 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 quieter
disposition it is not probable that, for years at
least, the Mexican woman will take the interest
in athletics that is now being shown by her
American sister. Another reason is that the
sympathy of the Mexican people is all against
her doing so.
In the Mexican schools the girl is taught many
things in the way of needlework, painting em
broidery, drawing and designing, and these later
serve to fill in her peaceful, uneventful 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-
ceive an excellent musical education.
In their homes and in their own way, the
Mexican women are delightful entertainers and
their knowledge of music aids not little in their
entertaining.
The piano always forms very important fac
tor in the entertainment at Mexican house.
No matter how small the gathering of friends
there is always someone who can play well, and
his or her services are requested and always
cheerfully given, for a Mexican not only likes to
help entertain his friends and friends friends,
but he looks upon it his duty TO do so. With
the piano also goes singing OF the popular songs
Of the day.
