CHARACTER IN FINGER NAILS.
One of the latest society fads is reading character by the finger nails. Here are some of the rules : Long Nails.—When the nails are long the person is good natured but placing little confidence in others. Narrow Nails.—The person with such nails is j desirous of attaining knowledge in the sciences, hut is never at peace ! long with her neighbours. Broad Nails—They who have their nails broad are of gentle disposition, bash ful, and afraid of speaking before their superiors, or indeed, to anyone without hesitation and a downcast air. Little Nails.—Little round nails discover a person to be obstinately angry, seldom pleased, inclining to hate everybody as conceiving himself superior to others, though without any foundation for such conception. Fleshy Nails.—A calm person and idler, loving to sleep, eat and drink ; not delighting in bustle and a busy life ; one who prefers a narrow income without industry, to one of opulence to be acquired by activit\ and diligence. Tale or Lead coloured Nails. —A melancholy person, one who through choice leads a sedentary life, and would willingly give up all things for the sake of study, and to improve in the learned and metaphysical branches of philosophy.
