CHIROMANCY, OR THE SCIENCE OF READING HANDS.

THERE has been so much interest taken in the Graphology Column, that it has been decided to start a ‘Chiromancy’ Column, under the able guidance of Madame Yero. This lady has devoted a great deal of time and thought to this very interesting subject, and has thoroughly studied it in all its branches. Her ‘readings’ have been extraordinarily successful, and The Graphic is fortunate in securing her services. A sketch of a hand with all its lines is given, as a guide to those wishing their hands to be read. No one has all the lines indicated on the specimen hand, but some few of them will be found on each hand. The following suggestions will help in drawing the hand :—

Lay your hand, palm downwards, on a piece of clean white paper, the fingers as far apart as they will comfortably go. Then with a pencil trace all round it. Next hold it up against the window, and reverse it so that it will appear with the palm uppermost, as in the sketch. Then ink it carefully all round, taking pains to have the fingers the exact length. In the first sketch indicate the joints as you come to them by dots ; this

makes it much easier to get the correct distances when filling in the lines. Draw all the lines you see, as far as possible at correct distances from each other. Put no names in. Then send your hand with two shillings in stamps, to • Madame Vero, care of the Lady Editor, New Zealand Graphic, Auckland.’ ‘ Codlin Moth.’—lf you have been accurate in drawing the diagram of your hand, like ' Boz,’ you are also a subject of Yenus ; but in your case, the type is more pronounced. You are polite, charitable, benevolent and gallant, excessively anxious to love and to be loved, and you keenly appreciate the pleasures of the senses, seeing fair sights and hearing sweet sounds, etc., etc. In manner and appearance you should be pleasing. Eyes, brown, large and clear, chin round, complexion gocd. From the length and shape of the fingers I infer that you possess a spirit of freedom and independence. You are practical, and disinclined to take much on trust when suggested by others ; but your own temperament is impulsive, you decide to act quickly. The thumb, however, is so powerful that your decisions must be supported by a will of iron, and the second phalange shows that sense and reason will govern the determination. The lines of your hand, if correctly drawn, give promise of much good fortune. The lije line is uninterrupted and of great length, being accompanied by the line of Mars, the career promises to be happy and successful as well as long ; but this line gives warning of passionately strong affections. The Heart line by its length also bespeaks warmth of heart, and the even fork in Jupiter, beneath the first finger, proclaims capability for domestic love. The Head line confirms the indications of the thumb, and shows good memory and clear intellect. The Fate line indicates that there was an important change in position or fortune in early youth—l think for the better, as after that change, the line promises a calm and fortunate life, unless you have omitted some lines or crosses. There is another important change at the age of 50, and at that time a very strong influence comes into your life. The lines under the little finger as you give them, indicate that the great love of your life does not commence before 30. How much after I cannot tell. You prefer dark brunette ladies to blondes, and admire energy and spirit in the feminine sex. I do not think you will be the possessor of actual wealth until rather late in life, although much general good fortune will attend you Two voyages are marked. There is one dangerous sign, viz., the crescent below the Ist finger (the sign of Luna), it indicates a love of mysticism which may lead to error, and your passions are unusually strong ; yet so much practical sense and resolution are displayed by the thumb and head line that I think they will counteract tbe baleful influences.—Vero.
