XIV. HEART LINE.


And now. after many weeks Of pere-
grinations through the hand, we have
at last arrived at a point where we
can take a survey of the ines them
selves. the feature fraught with more
mystery and fascination for nearly
everybody thar any other part Of
palmistry.
The first line we encounter is the
Heart line. As told in section Tx. in
last Mondays Evening STAR. this line
normally begins somewhere on either
the Mount of Jupiter or Saturn and
crosses the palm to the edge of tho
hand, below the little finger.
In some hands the Heart line is miss
ing, but his is so rare an occurrence that
sion as to what the real significance
of the absence of so important a line
might be. An acquaintance of mine
was devoid of a heart line, and yet az
far as 1 ever earned or was able to
observe he was not lacking in either
health or heart qualities. We shall
come back TO this subject later on.
aH i he Heart line HllITOIS Tic ply blCdA
and moral activities of the heart. II
it is clear and runs deep and without
anything to impede it's curse, such as
cross bars, islands, chains or the like.
it bespeaks a strong, healthy heart ac-
ton, free from any organic trouble.
Functional trouble of the hear: is ~
dictated by other signs in the palm OF
by color as you will remember, If you
have been following these sections care
fully.
In most hands the Heart line begins
between the index and middle fingers.
In this case the affections are OF q
common-sense kind. A person with q
Heart line starting at that point will
not be apt to put the object of his
affections upon a pedestal to be wor-
shipped blindly.
If the lire starts on the Mount OF
Jupiter, directly under the index finger.
the indication Is that the person will
idealize the object of his or her love.
To people with this marking lov is
r ligion. They invest the beloved n
with a sheen of ~sacredness, and unless
they have strong thumbs and head
lines their affections will make them
easy prey to any INSCRIPTIONS person
upon whom they may chance to bestow
their hearts.
Sometimes the Heart line starts be-
meath the middle finger. In this event,
a persons love will be tinged with tbs
smoke of desire" Love to such a one
is not the dainty. delicate, ethereal
sentiment, it is not the sacred fire
which hallows and purif1es and purges
the heart of every selfish or earthly
feeling. Not so. When you see a
marking of this kind be sure to look
for neutralizing signs, such as go11
pink color, tactful thumbs, strong head
line n a moderate Mount of Venus.
For, if with the heart line starting be-
meath the middle finger there is a big.
red Mount of Venus, a poor Head line
and weak or brutal thumbs it is safe
to say that such a person will not
stand too much upon a punctillio in
giving reins to his desires.
If the Heart line have forks, that is.
IL it start from all three of the places
! indicated 1t will show that the pers9a
has too much heart and will most
likely be too altruistic to get along well
in this selfish world of ours, wherein
there are so few people whose Heart
lines start from the index finger.
When only two of the branches show.
the amount of heart is, of course, not
as great as when all three are present;
NEVERTHELESS the marking is a very
strong n and indicates that a person
has feeling not only for his immediate
loved ones, but also for the general run
of humanity, although not to the same
extent as his brother with the thres1
fold forling of the heart line.
