CHIROMANCY Or the SCIENCE OF READING HANDS.

HERE has been so much interest I taken in the Graphology ColJL umn, that it has been de > cided to start a ‘Chiromancy’ Column, under the able guidance of Madame Vero. 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. Hei ‘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 24 penny stamps, to ‘MADAME VERO. Care of the Lady Editor, “New Zea land Graphic,” Auckland.’

SISTER DORA.—Rarely indeed is it my good fortune to receive so interesting and uncommon a hand as yours for interpretation, and I only lio|>e I can render my ‘reading’ ns interesting to you as it will be to me. As usual I find it most difficult to decide on the ascendent mount, without the distinguishing mark of ‘fullest’ to guide

me. I think Jupiter and Luna predominate. The combination of the Mount of the Moon imparts to the subject® of Jupiter, who are generally cheerful, honourable, pleasure loving and ambitious, a spirit of justice ami placidity. Your fingers denote keen sensibility and exquisite tact. You are personally most sensitive, and yet your influence over people and animals is so great as to be almost magnetic; but it is attained by the force of love and delicate intuition, and not by will power, for if you have drawn your thumb accurately the nail phalange is deficient in strength. You possess reason and logic, but not determination. The Life Line in this hand shows delicacy of constitution. There are no terrible illnesses, but there is internal weakness and bad health, especially between 20 and 35. Much of the. latter is caused by worry, brought about by other people. One member of the female sex is particularly meddlesome and interfering. As the line is always in the same place, I cannot date her appearance in your life. The Heart Line is good and fortunate on the whole, although there is a very early heart trouble and another about 26 or 27. A strong influence and attachment commences before 20; this lasts until quite 35, and about five years before it ends a false friend causes you intense jealousy. I am not certain whether the early attachment ends in marriage, if so you will be twice married. Once to a very rich man, and wealth, happiness and prosperity will attend you; but there are two lines which appear to end in marriage, one early and one late (after 35). I cannot tell which has reference to the wealthy husband; but I think you meet with him or some great good fortune on a voyage, although this entirely depends upon the accuracy of the voyage lines of which there are four, three represent long voyages, and one only a trip. The Head Line indicates a sympathetic and poetic temperament; but a deficiency of moral courage in youth. The Fate Line or rather lines, for there are distinctly two, are most fortunate, indicating- wealth and gratified ambition. There are several changes of residence, two if not three before 20, but they- are not clearly defined, as I regret to say the enmity lines are. You have three enemies, and the vindictiveness of one appears to cause an illness; although these lines may not be present in your right hand, when their significance would be much modified. You have the three vertical lines on the Mount of Mercury- which betoken a good doctor or nurse, and these lines are in some way also connected with the wealth and good fortune which predominate in your hand respecting marriage.—VERO.
