Palmistry.
This is always done by some very attractive girl. She will guarantee to read the palm of any man present, and leave it to the crowd if all she reads in his palm is not in accordance with what they know of him. Some well-known and popular man is chosen as the subject, and with the rest of the guests silent so that everything she says may be heard, she begins reading his palm. Her conversation may run as follows: “Now this is your head line, and it shows that you have a great many possibilities which you are not developing. Your heart line over here is woefully cracked. I’m not going into detail there! Your life line is firm and unbroken and it shows almost no ill health, but it does show an early and painful death because this line right here (pointing to any other line) shows that you are an awful flirt and let young ladies hold your hand right out in public!”
