FINGERNAIL “FORTUNES

HOW TO READ CHARACTER

First in importance for reading character by nails of the hands is the shape of the nails. People whose nails ate short and broad have.greater phy-

sic-al strength and powers of endurance than those whose nails are of the

long and narrow variety. Short-nailed people are usually full of enthusiasm and vitality, and very practical. They have a keen sense of humour, but are

inclined to be sarcastic at times, although they have a dread of adverse criticism of auy kind when directed against themselves. They are, however, very generous and good-natured.

Long-nailed people are imaginative and artistic, rather inclined to he lazy, with a distinct liking for the good things and pleasant places of lite. They are fond of change and are nut so steadfast as those whose nails arc broad. Although they love beautiful things they are, on the whole, rather cold and unemotional. Rough nails are a sign of an enormous capacity for affection and steadfast friendship. Fluted nails often denote health that is below par or a tendency to chest trouble. Flat nails are said to indicate a cold, rather mean nature; curved ones! warmth and generosity. Pale nails indicate ill-health; red ones, a dominating nature. Bitten nails are a sign of a highly-strung, nervous temperament and sometimes of a hot and uncontrollable temper. It is lucky to have big “moons” at the base of the nails. To have none at all shows an undue love of luxury. So much for your character. Now comes the superstitious. Little white spots on the nails all mean something, according to which nail they are on. On the right thumb nail—moneylis coming to you. On the right index finger, someone is planning to do you a kindness. Ou the right middle finger a disappointment awaits you. Ou the right third finger, you will shortly hear of au engagement. If there are several spots, you will shortly become engaged yourself. Ou the right little finger, beware of listening to slanderous tongues, which will seek to tuim you against one you love. Ou the left thumb you are going on a journey. On the left Index finger, an enemy. Beware lest they bring failure to a cherished scheme. On the left middle finger, a pleasant surprise awaits you. Ou the left third finger (the ring finger), a wedding—of a friend if only one spot; your own if several. The left little finger, an unexpected meeting with an old friend. Two spots on either thumb nail is a particularly lucky sign, foretelling two strokes of great good luck —one of them for yourself and the other to a friend In whose good fortune you are interested.
