poLyDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question-Wil you please tell me
what the meaning Of a small thumb is?
In one OF your articles you said that a
small thumb shows weak character.
I have a very short tn lInb, but l don't
think my character is weak, for I get
very angry at times aid am also very
intense in whatever | do.
Answer am sorry you do not in
dictate which phalanx of your thumb ia
the longer one. 1t would make my ex-
PLANTATION clearer.
A character is not strong because the
emotions are excessive. Character is
strong when 1t Is able to curb those
excessive emotions.
What you say Of your violent out
bursts is a strong confirmation of the
value of the thumb as an index of
character. Character is a composite of
will and mind. If knew which phalanx
Is the longer it would be easy to tell
whether your character Is lacking In
will or n power to reflect.

of striped linen, and is exceedingly

for pongee and t%affeta, as well as for
linen and other materials. 1t could be
made from thinner and lighter wash
able fabrics, or the skirt n waist
could be used separately to advantage.
The skirt is adapted to the coat suit
and also to wear with odd waists. The
waist is one of the simple plain ones
that is always smart. 1t Is tailor fin
ished. Many women like to include
thin flannel waists in the spring and
summer outfit, and this waist made OF
Scotch or French flannel will be found
excellent for cool days throughout the
season. Plain tailored waists with the
box plat and cuffs finished with seal
Hoped edges are among the novelties of
the season. Linen treated in that way
would be exceedingly handsome. In
place of striped material just such a
gown as this n can be made from
plain colored linen with box plat and
cuffs piped with black and white, and
the skirt trimmed with a deep cuff OF
the material, finished in the same way.
In fact. simple as the model is, 1t
allows of many variations.

xxx. HEAD AND LIFE LINE SEPA.
RATED (CON.).

One of the finest markings that a
person can possess is when the Head
line, separated from the Life line, has
its starting point on the Mount OF
Jupiter. This is extremely rare, espe-
ciaIly when the source OF the line is
high UP on the Mount.
The indication in this case is that
leader. He is not only ambitious but
has every faculty that is needed to
make his ambition count in what to
him should be a triumphal march to
success.
With fine texture Of the skin per-
son of this kind is able to lead in so
tactful and diplomatic a manner that
those whom he leads scarcely know
that they are being commanded. They
are so willing to obey because the
orders appear rather to be in the ma
ture OF something intended to promote
their own welfare. AL it therefore
becomes a pleasure to enroll ones self
under the standard OF such a leader.
Coarse texture takes all the tact and
delicacy out of the quality of leader
ship But it new ',eless leaves the
person with that kind of Head line
a most capable, ever though some
what brusque, leader.
And, by the way, we should not
understand by the term LEADER
merely one who car conduct armies to
x,io+o,x, II 1oaaue nna uhn tai.ao bio
post at the head OF any kind of af-
fairs, one who Is in the van either as
q captain Of industry or in the pulpit,
or at the bar or in deliberative bodies
like congress, or takes charge in a
panic, where so much depends upon
the organizing ability of a cool and
clever head.
C~heirognomy must be invoked with
this marking not only in regard to
texture, but also as to finger tips and
all the other characteristics, each of
which is capable of modifying even the
most powerful forces which make up
the sum total of a PERSONS individu-
atty.
These Cheiroghomic details do not
so much affect the forces themselves
as the channels through which the
forces flow and manifest themselves.
For instance, let US assume hat Of
two persons having Head lines begin
ming at the very same places high up
on the Mounts of Jupiter on their re-
spective hands, one has refined tex
ture and comic tipped fingers; the
other coarse texture and square An
ger tips.
The underlying force which actuates
both is ambition coupled with great
ability to lead. but in the case of the
one this leadership will be refined, in
spring and s~oul-elevating to those
whom he leads and who feel that they
are benefited by his leadership, while
in the oase of the other they will feel
that he is a martinez who cares moth
ing for the individuals whom he hur-
ries along to do his bidding for his own
aggrandizement. They all obey him, in
deed, but not for love, but for fear and
because they expect such advantage
as comes from sharing in the honor
of the glorious achievements of a
great leader.

DUST CAP QUICKLY MADE.

An excellent dustcap a be made
from a piece of unbleached muslin and
requires no sewing. A yard Of ma
terial is folded from one corner to the
opposite corner and cut. One-half is
then wrapped about the head in the
way the old Southern mammies used
to wear their bandanas.
The long straight side, when the
muslin is adjusted, comes around the
back of the neck, over the ears. and
is tied in front over the point, which
hangs down over the face. When the
second knot is tied this point is pushed
back and tied firmly.
The whole thing can be made and
adjusted in two or three minutes and
it keeps out dust much more effectu-
ally than a s%unbonnet or a loose dust
car.
