WHAT YOUR HAND TELLS.
The hand, we are! assured, is a faithful index to the character; anyhow, palmistry is an interesting subject, andi affords plenty of amusement. Have you a narrow, soft palm? If so, you lack resolution. But a hard, stiff palm denotes determination. A large thumb means independence; a small one, impulsiveness. Spade-shaped finger-tips suggest an ability to overcome troubles, while tapering ones say you are ornamental rather than useful, and fond of freedom. Above the life-line, beginning between your thumb and forefinger, is your head line. If it is unbroken and clearly defined, it shows a well-balanced mind. When it is wide and pale, the indication is not so good. A linked headline —that is, one with little islands in it—evidence lack of concentration; a broken oae, an inclination to be vacillating. The line of your heart, above your head-line, and just below the mounts at the base of your fingers, when clear, narrow and extended to the mount of
Jupiter, at the base of your firstj finger, tells of an affectionate devoted niture and a happy marriage.
If it is short, that you incline to the material rather than the romantic; if linked, that you are more or less inconstant; if broken, of a rupture of a love affair; and if forked on the mount of Jupiter, you may expect good fortune.
