Each one of Your Digits Has a Meaning and Shows Weakness of Character. (Chicago News). Every finger has a meaning of its own; always the same and always recognizable, even though not always mioticed. The first of tlhe political, demagogue amid the curling little finger cf ma lady at 5 o'clock tea are equally full of significance, according to a lec ture given, late yesterday to a class in public speaking at "the Univer sity of Chicago by Frederick Mason BlaiDcihard, assoicate professor in Che University. The meaning of fingers was explained more fully to day by Professon Blaoidhard. "The use of the different fingers 8ni gestures is of the greatest impor tance," he said. "The voice of a spieaker may be likened to the solo of a stager, and the gestures may be taken to represent the accompani ment. I spoke of the Class yesterday m hls subject because of the ome lingered gestures made by one of the students. This young man. in a ftveHiriiiniute speech, waved his arm 37 times by actual count, and each time he pointed with index fiigner, thus corofiniinig bis gestural meaning to only one kind of explanation. "Part of wihat I explained to the etudexats is Included in writings on tflne (theories of iDelsarte. It is a swllesltjaDillisihed psychological fact In the theory of speaking that the Index finger as for pointing out one thing in particular.

'The first gives the idea of force in a more emphatic fashion, but with a difference.' Here Professor Blanchard dou led up ihis hand, clasping- the fingers with: the thumb, and menaced the in offensive atmosphere. "This means that iff you oppose the speaker you are going to be hit" he explained. "It is brute force a lone. But the idea is contained in the thumb, though not so strong ly, and by combining the thumb amid the intellectual index and! second fin gers one gives the same idea with the added meaning of intelligence that is backed by the power of the thumb. "There is a tradition with actors that the curse of Cardinal Richelieu must be delivered with the hand up raised, but witihout the use of the third and fourth finger's. For all I know to ihe contrary, at rcay ibe a custom of Hhe Roman .Catholic Ohurcl to present the idea of hte Holy Trin ity and its power by the use of these thnee fingers on such an occas ion, tout I believe it is also tirue that no actor woufld make thegesture in a different fashion. It has the rule of psychology bebjind it. "In contrast to the index and second fingers the third or (ring finger teUls of affection. The other finger are not used in a caress.,The whole hand is used, but the third finger ds brought forward and it is the one ftlhati strokes the face or hand of the person to whom affection 5s to be shown. "Tlhis finger always bear the engage ment and wedding rings. There Hay be objection made that the placing of the rings on this finger is mere ly a custom.but eveau if that is bo there is: some reason for the origin of the custom. The reason there, I believe. Is wholly psychological. The third finger is the fimger of affec tion, and must always rehnain so." "There ds no strong emotion left for the little finger to show,' con tinued, the educator, "I have notic .LL(Q)ll(ff We Csm ATTENTION We demand Summer wear in Suits for materials as fine and tailoring as high class as ve do in heavier garments for winter.

C. ed that Dr. Campbell, of London, us es the little finjger as an index, but I do not know that it is anything moi than a manner ism. The use is or dinarily different. The little fin ger denotes delicacy. It is separated from the others and ds not required to emphasize the meanings of the stronger fimgems. "The little finger also shows in tuition. A worn aim will hold this fin ger curled away from the others ,but a man who does not care much for delifoate meanings, will let it fall in line wdth the others. Thus it wall measure the difference 3'n tempera memit between different' persons. "I can see the character of an un imstructed student by thje way he holds has fingers. If he gestures na turally with the thumb and index and second fingers together, I iknow that he is a forceful person. If he lets has thumb fall within the palm of the hand I can see that he is not insistent. The thumb of a wreak mam is not closed over the fiinigers.
