Characteristics Revealed by the Hands.

"A large hand is always better than a small one," writes Blanche W. Fischer in The Ladies' Home Journal on "Easy Reading of the Hand." "It indicates a person of some unusual powers. The possessor will be a good worker, principally as to details. He will be careful not to make many promises, but will keep the few he makes to the letter, even at a loss to himself; he will be easily offended, very quick to imagine slights and not ready to forgive either real or imagined offenses. The possessor of a small hand will attempt almost anything, rarely, however, finishing anything he undertakes; is easily satisfied, both with himself and with the world in general; is fond of gayety and excitement; makes and loses friends with the same easiness; is impressionable and inflammable to a high degree; is religious, but not deeply so; will make promises and break them without compunction and will be unable to bind himself to details."
