TX. LINES.

IN nearly every hand you will ind
at least three lines so we'll marked as
to be clearly observable to the most
casual observer. If you hold your palm
before you, fingers up, you will see one
OF the three lines running across the
palm at the base of the Mounts OF
Jupiter. Saturn, Apollo and Mercury
This is the heart line.
somewhat lower on the palm and be
ginning at the edge of the hand you
will see the head line wind it's way
across the Plain OF Mars toward the
opposite edge. 1t rarely reaches to the
edge and is considered a long line If it
runs as far as two-thirds across the
hand.
Usually beginning at the same point
as the Head line is the Life line. viii n
after a more or less DOL sweep into the
palm. descends to encircle the bali of
the hand-the portion which we havo
considered under the name of Mount
OF Venus.
These three lines are the chief Main
lines" They reflect the action of the
heart. the qualities of the mind and the
degree of strength of our vital forces,
our constitution.
AS we cannot very well live without
heart, brain and muscular vitality, the
three lines in question are almost al
ways present in the and as constant
factors to be reckoned with.
There are other main lines, but often
one or more Of them will be absent or
so poorly defined as to seem merely
r~udimcntary. One of these is Saturn or
Fate line. 1t runs normally from the
base OF the hand near the wrist toward
the finger of Saturn.
The fifth main line is that Of Apollo
which also bears the names of Line OF
Brilliancy or Success.
And, finally, the line of Mercury Is
found slanting upwards from some
point heal the wrist toward the Mount
of Mercury. It Is called also the Health
line, line OF the Liver, or by the latters
Latin name. Hepatic line.
In addition to the main lines there
are eight so-called minor lines, and all
almost infinite number OF chance lines,
which play a most important part In
palmistry.
The chance lines run in every con
ceivable direction, have no constant
names and derive their meaning and
Importance solely from their relation
to the main or minor lines or to their
situation and direction on the various
mounts.
The minor lines, however. have a
constant habitat of their own, and are
easily recognized by the unvarying po-
sitions which they occupy whenever
they do appear on the palm at all.
These minor lines are: I. Girdle OF
Venus, running from between the fin
gers of Jupiter and Saturn In a semi
circular sweep to a point between the
fingers of Apollo and Mercury. 2. Ring
of Solomon, running from between the
Jupiter and Saturn fingers to the edge
of the hand and forming an arc Of a
circle at the base of the Mount of Jupi-
ter. 3. Ring of Saturn, which encircles
the base of the Mount of Saturn. 4.
Lines of affection which are short horl-
zontal lines on the Mount of Mercury,
running from the edge of the hand in
ward. s. Line of intuition, which be-
gins neal the edge of the and on the
Mount of the Moon and runs upward
with a graceful inward curve toward
the Mount of Mercury. s. Via Las
civia, which runs part of the distance
alongside the line of Mercury. Z. Line
of Mars. which is a sister line to the
life line and runs parallel to II. s,
bracelets, which run on the wrist par
ailel TO the base Of the hand, There
are three bracelets, but in most hands
only one--the tcpmost one-is found.
And this is the only one that has any
ascertained purpose or value in palm
istry.
OF each Of the lines we shall treat in
turn. but before entering upon a dis
cussion of them, it will be we'll first 20
learn something about signs. such as
stars, squares. etc, that appear In the
hands, and also about the various de-
fects and the manner In which these
defects are repaired. The next sec
ton, accordingly, shall be devoted 70
these topics.
