The Square Type
We now come to the
Square-fingered Hand (Fig. 2), which is the most useful type of all, because
the owner has many of the qualities of the Spatulate-such as perseverance and
love of ruling, and yet is able and willing to obey.
The fingers of this hand
need not be square at the tips. They will be found planed at the sides; the
fingers of which are truly four-sided, somewhat smooth with the lower knuckles
and the knot of Philosophy (q.v.)
developed. The nails are rather short (here is argument, self-defence, always
ready), the thumb is obstinate, but with a tactful “waist” on it.
These fingers, I am of the
belief, indicate obedience to authority and to polite requests, to orders from
those entitled to give them, but they will resent interference from
interlopers. They will not make a disturbance, however, because they detest a
fuss, but will grumble while they accede. They are punctual and cannot bear
unpunctuality; their love for outward neatness and politeness and social
observance is marked and general. They like others to be polite, civil and
respectful as they are and dislike brusque manners. They sometimes judge people
by appearances and manner, unfavourably for unpunctuality, coarseness of
speech, and impolite or rough behaviour. Appearances are with such fingers, or
their possessors, nearly everything and as they do not always act up to this
rule themselves, through some imaginative or artistic vein in the character
they are sometimes thought hypocritical and are, in fact, inconsistent, if the fingers
be smooth.
But the truly
square-fingered man with knotted fingers is tidy, orderly, truthful, and
obedient to authority even if he dislikes the ruler. He obeys the law-not the
man. This is generally the case with all square-fingered types, whose possessors
are peculiarly sensitive to recognized authority, law, and order and will
rather walk a mile than cross a forbidden field as a trespasser. One may be
induced to cross, but he would rather not be seen doing so by a stranger.
Order is the first law
with the Square-tipped, but the amount of order varies. The smooth-fingered
type will know where his books, papers, shirts, collars, handkerchiefs, etc.
are and will find the particular article he requires in the dark; but often the
drawer, or the table is littered and mixed up to all appearance, in the
individual’s own apartment. But in his reception rooms, in all outward appearance,
he is neat and tidy.
So he dresses neatly, and looks well dressed
even in old clothes, because he is tidy and careful with them. He may and does
wear jewellery but is not ostentatious in its display. His taste in dress is
quiet and “gentlemanly,” deferential to the old and to ladies, respectful in
manner, courteous and will have things “just so.” A muddy dress, splashed boots,
an untidy glove, dirty cloak or gown he longs to have cleaned or mended, and
will pick threads from a skirt in his desire for tidiness. The individual
cannot help doing it and at times, with all his observance of etiquette and his
desire that others should observe it, he will involve people in risky
situations when his personal feelings are concerned-not from selfishness or
rancor, or any wish to compromise the other, but he is simply carried away by
impulse which he will repair by the most diplomatic cunning if suspected.
Nevertheless he would condemn himself later, and condemn another who had acted
in the same way and who had been
discovered.
There is, therefore, in
the smooth-square type of finger, with a palm showing a sloping head-line, some
finesse and double-facedness. Yet, curiously enough, such people cannot
willingly acknowledge this soft impeachment.
The real large, square
hand is the best and most useful if it be knotted, and not inclined to any
artistic type. This hand makes its owner regular and punctual at meals,
orderly, neat, tidy, polite, and respectful to authority, truthful and just;
not romantic.
