CHARACTER IN HANDS

SUBTLE INDICATIONS In shaking hands with a person, it is not difficult to tell whether the hand is sort or hard, moist or dry, hot or cold; and much can be deducted from this. Soft hands belong to those who are indolent and who have no love for any kind of manual work; they are slow, inclined to take things easy, undecided and changeable, with some love for luxury and good living. Very soft and flabby hands indicate certain psychic powers, and a good deal of imagination. Hard-handed people are energetic and enterprising, good workers, with ability to accomplish their purpose. They are not easily discouraged, but are blessed by ambition and determination. If the hand feels elastic under slight pressure of the finger and thumb, physical and mental energy is denoted; such a person is a good worker who i will keep on until the job is done. IMPRESSIONABLE PEOPLE The moist hand belongs to the plastic, sensitive and impressionable person who is heavy and somewhat slow in movement; he is sociable, desirous of mixing with others, but readily swayed by moods and impressions. People who have dry cool hands are usually practical, solid and hard working: they are the plodders who win through, by steady perseverance, and they are capable of much mental and physical endurance. The dry hot hand goes with the alert, positive, quick-witted person, who will require a reason for anything. He is apt in learning, fond of knowledge, reflective and intuitive: and he will prefer to strike out for himself rather than follow others. Those with cold firm hands are usually ambitious, practical and capable; they are good all-round helpers who are able to organise and carry on large concerns. If the hand is limp and clammy, it indicates one who will be negative, pliable and moody. THE WEAKER SEX?
