Homoeopathy has proved lucrative, and so long as it continues to be so will surely exist, as surely as astrology, palmistry, and other methods of getting a living out of the weakness and credulity of mankind and womankind.
Now, when do you open?" "I have planned to open day after to-morrow." Elspeth spoke hesitatingly, keeping her cool, businesslike glance on Joan. "All right," Sylvia was tapping her fingers restlessly; "that's Thursday. I'll get a girl I know to work on the costume to-night; we'll buy books on palmistry on our way home.
I am sure you know the way, because I have seen a mysterious book about palmistry in your room. Now do, there's a dear girl." After a little more pressing, Miss Latouche acceded to the general request that she would show her skill. Several people pressed forward at once to have their fortunes told, the men being quite as eager as the girls, although they affected to laugh at the whole affair.
You did not know the future, any more than I did no one on earth knows the mysteries of the future, 'not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."

Travers had dropped her hand into his strong open palm on which an expert in palmistry could have distinguished other lines than the line of luck.

"Oh, it was in a dream, you funny Angel; was that it?" said Henry, whose rationalism at this period was the chief danger to his imagination. "No, not a dream. Something stranger than that." "Oh, well, I give it up." "It was like this," Angel continued; "there's a strange old gipsy woman who lives near us " "Oh, I see, your hand palmistry," said Henry, with a touch of gentle impatience.
Their origin may be traced to the days when man was undoubtedly in close touch with the occult, and each card, i.e. of the original design, has a psychic meaning. Hence the telling of fortunes by certain people those who have had actual experience with occult phenomena deserves to be taken seriously; and I am convinced many of the fortunes thus told come true. Palmistry
"I can judge of your chief characteristics by your hands," she said, "and it is wonderful how much palmistry reveals in that way; but I shall have to draw on my imagination for your future fortunes." This she did in such a bright amusing way that screams of laughter went up from behind the screen, and the hands she held often shook with merriment.
"If she should fail to read the future the first time, she dances for one night before the manaog and the following day is able to read it clearly, the Diwata having revealed the hidden meaning to her during the night conference." In the Mayo district palmistry is practiced by several old people who make no claim of having the aid of the spirits.
The thing might be going to happen at any moment. In palmistry, you know, it is impossible to pin an event down hard and fast to one year. This particular event was to be when I was ABOUT twenty-six; it mightn't be till I was twenty-seven; it might be while I was only twenty-five. "And I used to tell myself it mightn't be at all.
