There are few people who have
not a mole somewhere about their
face, arms or neck. 1t is said that
each of these moles has meaning.
OF course no one pretends that a
mole on his chin is really going to
affect his fate in any way. Because
so many people do believe that there
is some inner meaning to the little
brown marks a writer has listed a
few of the popular superstitions re-
garding moles.
The moles on the right side of the
face or body, or on the right arm,
nearly always indicate good fortune,
while those on the lett are not so
optimistic in prophecy.
A mole on the right corner of the
mouth indicates to a man that he
will have good fortune through his
individual efforts. Whatever walk in
life he chooses, he will be successful
To a woman it indicates that she
will have plenty of money and be
very much beloved.
A mole on the left side Of the
mouth indicates for both men and
women a commonplace life, one in
which neither good nor i'll fortune
will predominant.
A mole on the lower lip indicates
that man will be of a rowing dis
position. He will undertake many
long and perilous adventures in for
eign lands. To a woman this mole
indicates that she will marry for
eigner and live out of her own coun-
try
A mole on the upper lip indicates
for both men and women varying
health and inconstant fortune.
A mole on the right cheek indi-
Gates to either a man or woman a
happy marriage, and that he or she
will be greatly loved. A mole on
the left cheek signifies a wandering
life and many adventures. In a
woman this mole signifies unhappi-
ness in love.
A mole in the middle of the chin
legacies from women. To q woman
it shows that she will be happily
married. but will have anxiety and
worry connected with her children.
A mole on the right side Of the
chin is known as "the happy mole
1t indicates, in either seq, that they
will have good fortune. happy mar
riage and a long life. In a man 1t
also indicates intelligence.
A mole on the left side of the chin
indicates to a man much worry and
varying fortune. To a woman this
mole indicates danger by water.
