Irish girls are said to have the
most beautiful hands. English girls'
are too plump and fleshy. The hands
of the Amencan girls are too long
and narrow. The Angers of the
German girls are too short and the
palms too broad. The hands of the
French, Italian and Spanish girls
may be called indifferent. Next to
the Irish girls, the daughters of
Poland deserve the palm so far as
the beauty of the hand is concerned.
