DISSIPATED PERSON.--A star beside the thumb-nail and the Head line is deep and wide.

ENERGETIC PERSON.--The head line runs from side to side of the palm. It is clear throughout, while the four mounts below the four fingers are very distinct.

FLIRT.--The Head line consists of a line joining up several links, forming a species of chain.

FORCEFUL PERSON.--A cross on the Mount of Apollo and small lines crossing.

FORTUNATE PERSON.--The Heart and Head lines almost touch below the Mount of Jupiter. A cross is often found between them just at this point. The third finger shows a long line running the length of two phalanges.

GOOD CHARACTER.--The Mounts of Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury are much in evidence, while the tips of the fingers are nicely rounded.

GREEDY PERSON.--When the hand is spread out the fingers bend inwards, because of the excessive width of the palm. The Head line runs across the palm almost in a straight line.

HAPPY PERSON.--On the third finger there is a deep line running the length of the third phalange. Also, the bracelets appear as a single deep furrow.

KIND PERSON.--A star figures on the thumb, while the Mounts of Apollo and Mercury are much in evidence. The Heart line is not short.

LIKING FOR OPPOSITE SEX.--A star is seen on the Mount of Mercury or a star may appear between the Heart and Head lines.

LONG LIFE.--The Heart line curves entirely round the thumb, being plainly evident all the way, while the bracelets consist of three clear lines.

LUCKY PERSON.--See diagram of a very lucky hand.

MARRIAGE.--The Marriage line is a comparatively short line, found above the Heart line and starting from the edge of the palm, under the little finger.

If straight and well defined, it is a sign of a happy married life. (See Fig. A, p. 23.)
