POL yDORE QUESTION BOX.

Question: take great interest in all
that you write on palmistry, and have
bought several back numbers of the
STAR, so as to be able to read the
articles over again, but I cannot n
the one in which you speak of the
hand that has no flesh, or hardly any
flesh on the side, between the little fin
ger and the wrist. Can you tell me on
what date 1t appeared?
In you long article OF telling age
you do not say by what it al be
told My Heart line is clear and
straight, it ends at the edge of the
hand, but | cannot see anything that
would tell my g (55) excepting some
tiny vertical lines between Mount Of
Apollo m Mount of Mercury.
DORA.
Answer--Your request in regard to
the late of the article wherein the ref
erence to the depression on the upper
Noun of Mars occurred makes me feel
keenly the lack of time that might per-
nit me to look 1t up for you. 1t was
in connection with an answer to ar in
quirer, but the date has entirely es-
capped my memory. However. l can tell
you what the absence of the p%rotuber-
ance on the mount in question sig
nifies.
Its meaning is that there Is an alb
sence of hopefulness. A person lacking
an Upper Mount of Mars Is easily de-
pressed and does not possess power of
resistance. He surrenders at once when
fortune does not favor his undertak-
ings, while one with the mount de-
veloped does not allow anything to $
him down. Even though overwhelmed,
It'll aL-I
again after each defeat and smilingly
! try another tussle with fate and for
tune.
If you will have the kindness to read
the section ON age carefully you will
see that there is no mention made of
any way of telling the present age of a
person. The only thing a palmist can
aim at is to tell at what age certain
changes will occur, and what those
changes are. For instance, IL there Is
an island on the Heart Line under the
| space between the fingers of Apollo and
Saturn, the reading is that at the 6
of Sc there is indicated either a deli
cate condition of the heart or a 1irta-
tious disposition. Whether 1t signifies
the physical or the moral condition
can be old by the appearance of the
nails, color or markings on other lines
But, unless a person tells a palmist
how old he or she is, the palmist can
not tell by merely looking at the line
whether he or she has already reached
or passed the age of the changes in
Heated on the lines.
OF course it would be well IL the
! palmist could know this, but it Is not
indispensable, inasmuch as the per-
son whose hand he reads knows well
enough whether what the line portends
is still impending or has already oc-
Cured.
If I tell one, for example, that his
Head Line shows that at So there Is
danger of insanity from too much
reading. I need not know whether he
is at or zeal that age or past 1t. II
he is still looking forward to 1t. he
will know that he must discontinue
reading too much. If 1t Is already past
he certainly must know that the dan
ger was impending at the age indi-
Gated. and that he pursued the proper
course to obviate the evil.
So, you see that the value of palm
istry as an aid TO humanity Is not at
all lessened by the circumstance that
the palmist is not able to tell a per-
son how old he is. which could. after
all, subserve no other end thar merely
to satisfy Idle curiosity.
