_Note._—The number of wives and husbands are frequently indicated from the small lines passing from the outermost part of the hand to the mount of Mercury, but I consider the proper place is from the mount of Venus. If the end of the little finger does not reach so far as to touch the last joint of the ring finger, it signifies that the partner in marriage will be imperious in all things. The mounts marked with good figures and characters show good and happy omens, being vitiated with confused or broken characters, etc., or lines, they always denote the contrary, unless they are restrained by other lines that be good. Chiromancers generally teach that the first joints near the mount of the finger indicate the early age, the second, the flourishing state of manhood, and the last old age. But our opinion is that the planets shown by the nativity of the persons do, in their proper order, manifest their marks and characters whether for good or bad.

HOW TO READ THE FOREHEAD. If a person has a broad forehead and takes the form of ⌒, a crescent, he was born of poor parents but is sure to be rich. If a prominent single vein or mark extends from the nose to the top of the forehead the person is born to immense wealth. If there are many similarly placed the person is very vicious. If the forehead is depressed in the middle he is very jealous and a lascivious or sinful man. If the forehead is narrow he is a great miser. If there be three furrows going across the head he is likely to live a long life, especially if they go over the eyes. If there be four such lines the person will be a commander or great potentate and live a very long time. Many indistinct lines on the forehead denote lewd persons. If there be any marks in the middle of the forehead and they take the form of a crescent ⌒, the person will be very prosperous and fortunate. SIGNS ON THE FEET. If a crescent or elongated horseshoe mark appear on sole of the foot and the toes separated well from each other, the person will have a harsh temper and remain poor. If a female's toes are well set together and close, and has a wheel or flower mark on either or both feet, she will become a lady of rank and position. If there be an ear-shaped figure on the foot and without hair, or a little tuft, the person may expect to be successful in the world. THE ARMS. If her arms are very long she will be renowned and well-to-do. Short-armed persons generally remain poor. Women's Printing Society, Ltd., 66, Whitcomb St., W.C.
