Spatulate fingers (as shown in Fig. 4) derive their name from the fact that the “spatula” is a knife-shaped instrument used by druggists, where the tip is slightly wider than the stem. Fingers of this kind show action, energy, self-confidence. They are often found in men who labor with their hands, and seldom with the idle rich. Knotted fingers (as in Fig. 5) are an indication of toil, energy and resourcefulness. The person is usually more imitative than original, but is able to turn any situation to some practical advantage. The refined woman’s hand (see Fig. 6) has the fingers neither spatulate nor square, but usually of the tapering type, tho not often pronounced, except in the idle women. Possessors of such hands love beautiful things, crave excitement, act on impulse, but make good wives and loving mothers. The criminal’s fingers (see Fig. 7) are usually short and ill-formed. The fingers are wide at the base and rounded at the nails, which are apt to be thick and coarse. The palm is soft from lack of manual work. The thumb is short but flexible. In the workman’s hand (see Fig. 8) the palm is hard and thick; not necessarily from toil but by nature. The thumb is short and slightly turned back. The fingers are usually coarse and thick. This hand indicates improvidence, lack of forethought, and primitive passions. It is also the hand of the savage and the illiterate. The Mountains are joints or elevations on the palm. _Mount Venus_, if prominent, indicates a person of strong passions, great energy in business, and admiration of physical beauty in the opposite sex; it also indicates love of children, home and wife or husband. When not well developed, there is a lack of love for home, children, wife or husband; and in a man it indicates egotism and laziness; in a woman, hysteria. _Mount Jupiter_, if prominent, indicates a person who is generous, loves power and is brilliant in conversation; if a woman, she desires to shine and be a social leader. When not well developed, it indicates lack of self-esteem, slovenliness and indifference to personal appearance. _Mount Saturn_, if prominent, indicates a serious-minded person, religiously inclined, slow to reach a conclusion, very prudent, free in the expression of opinions, but inclined to be pessimistic. _Mount Apollo_, if prominent, indicates ability as an artist, generosity, courageness and a poetical nature; apt to be a spendthrift. When not well developed, it indicates cautiousness and prudence. _Mount Mercury_, if prominent, indicates keen perceptions, cleverness in conversation, a talent for the sciences, industry and deceitfulness. If not well developed, it indicates a phlegmatic, stupid disposition. _Mount Luna_, if prominent, indicates a dreamy, changeable, capricious, enthusiastic and inventive nature. When not well developed, it indicates constancy, love of home and ability to imitate others.
