THE UNREAD STORY UPON OUR HANDS
is probable that the study of the human hand has not ' received, in modern times, the attention that it deserves. To a large extent, no doubt, the fortune-teller with high- sounding name, and an over- whelming 'desire for the loose coins in her clients' pockets, is responsible for the neglect of practical research work by re- sponsible people in connection with the story written upon our hands.
The fascination of palmistry is undoubted and, with only a mild reputation as a hand reader, one is 'certain to secure the close atten- tion of every member of a party of friends, or even of strangers, if a delineation is given.. Even scep- tics will hang around, or perhaps come along afterwards and ask for. a reading in private. Good man- - ners sometimes fail to prevent members of a party from thrust- ing in their own palms before the turn of an earlier consultant completed, and everyone present, whether he admits it. or not, wants a reading of his own hands,

The real fact is that each one of us, whether we believe in pal- mistry or not, and whether we like the idea or otherwise, is writing day by day upon his or her hands of the events which take place. and is inscribing a readable deline sition of the character which is be- ing formed
