DIFFERENT CLASSES OF LINES  
The lines on the palm should be clearly marked, a good pink or reddish colour, and they should be free from breaks, crosses, holes or irregularities of all kinds.
 
When very pale in colour they show lack of force and loss of energy, and often poor health.
 
When extremely red they indicate excessive energy and a rather violent disposition.
 
When yellow in colour they denote a tendency to biliousness and liver complaints, and tell in consequence of a melancholy morose nature.
 
Forked lines are generally good and increase the quality of the special indication. When at the end of the Line of Head, the fork gives more of what is called a dual mentality and less power of concentration on any one subject. (Plate XXIV.)
 
Spots on a Line weaken it and arrest its growth.
 
Tasselled Lines (Plate XXIV.) are not good signs. They weaken any indication the line itself denotes, and at the end of a Life Line they foreshadow loss of all nervous energy.
 
Wavy Lines (Plate XXIV.) show uncertainty, lack of decision and want of force.
 
Broken Lines (Plate XXIV.) destroy the meaning of[Pg 108] the line at the particular place where the break appears, but if one line ends above the other, the break is not so bad and the quality of the line will be continued.

Sister Lines (Plate XXIV.) increase or double the power of any line, and when lying close together at the Line of Head, they give it great power and promise.
 
Islands (Plate XXIV.) are always evil and denote weakness or failure of the Line or Mount on which they may be found.
