PALMISTRY.

AS AN INTERESTING HOBBW There is no doubt that the most interesting study in« the world is ourselves ! Cries of protest arise immediately, |of course! But if you think it over I calmly and dispassionately for a moment, you will have to confess that it is so. Our aspirations and our intellectual capabilities—if we have no looks to speak of—are subjects we love to hear discussed. Small wonder, therefore, that fortune-tellers, palmists, crystal-gazers, mysterious ladies who "tell the cards,” and even humble tea-leaf seers, do a thriving business! Gypsies, coming to your door under pretext of selling combs and scissors, will tell you, if you “cross their palm,” .of the mysterious dark gentleman who has a secret love for you, and who will eventually carry you across the sea. This, despite the fact that you are already quite happily' married to a fair man! But you listen! No matter how wild the forecasting of your future may be, you listen with bated breath, discovering qualities in yourself that no one seems to have noticed before. Our Interesting Selves! There is, indeed, no subject so interesting as< ourselves ! Bearing this in mind, I suggest that if a girl has no particular “parlour tricks,” and is not of * the “babbling brook” variety, though she craves to be popular in her little social world, she should study Palmistry. Not. of course, for profit, but as a magnet to attract her friends and acquaintances. Palmistry is really a science. Many believe that by the lines of the hand alone can the past he seen and the future foretold. The elementary lines, which are all an amateur need know, are easily learned. And these, in conjunction with the various snapes of hands and Ungers—ail very characteristic, you will find —should be quite sufficient to give you a clear, lucid idea of the chief qualities of the persons whose hands you are reading. There should be one reservation though! Should you observe the sudden breaking off of the line of life, do not forecast an early death 1 Remember ,also, to deal kindly with bad qualities! Palmistry for popularity! _ Everyone can sing, or play or talk trivialities . . . . hardly anyone can tell us all about ourselves. And it is so interesting 1
