PALMIsTRY IN THE FAR EAST
Thumb 10 Called "ths Great Finger
In Japan and china-Ssrvants
Use Finger Points.

The Chinese and japanese call the
thumb "the great finger" and connect
1t with ones ancestors. Our index IN
ger is with them the head or man
pointing finger" and has to do with
the father.
The middle or longest finger belongs
to the mother. while the next, or
nameless finger. is the property OF
sweethearts and wives (the westerns
have chosen this finger, too. for the
wearing. of the wedding ring). The
little finger concerns our descendants
and posterity.
The ball of the thumb. the celebrat-
ed mount Of Venus" according to
palmists the world over. retains its
qualities appertaining to sensuous.
sensual. and mundane matters with
the Japanese hand readers. too.
Both Japanese and Chinese servants,
in signing and sealing agreements
with their masters, frequently moisten
their finger points with ink and press
1t on the paper AS means of iden
tity or personal sign manual. these
finger prints appear to have been long
known in the east. 1t is, therefore. nc
surprise to find that Japanese palm
lists, in addition to examining the
lines" OF the open palm, extend theil
inquiries to the pore patterns on the
tips of the fingers and thumbs.

SALAD MAKING.

salad, yet we would avoid the COM
bination of foods which do not har-
monize as we avoid inviting to our
tables those whom we know are not
congenial to our friends.
Carrots. potatoes, turnips and such
vegetables are cooked before combin.
ing in a salad. Cut In cubes. or balls.
Beets are sliced or IL small left whole.
Food value should come first in the
making Of salad especially where it
is to form the main part Of q meal,
like luncheon.
Then the arranging and garnishing
is a feature most importsnt. Who
has not turned away from q perfectly
good and wholesome salad because II
looked mussy and unattractive? The
perfection of combination and favor
count for nothing If the salad has
been carelessly prepared.
When meats and potatoes are used
salad is always improved II these
stand in seasoned dressing for a while
before combining.

The salad dressing is another i'm.
