S. M. H. (Jerusalem)

An independent character, fond of holding sway over others; within herself, however, she wants to enjoy every freedom and has no wish to be angered. Beware of people, for they watch you and take you up in their talk. Yet the truth is not in what is said, for the substance is good and forgiving. The elegant young man who occupies your mind may well be good-natured. Still, a word of caution is not, for all that, too much... A thing is counted good if it ends well.

Gh. S. (Jerusalem)

An easy, practical character, very wide awake. It is accompanied by a mark of nervousness that has served her well until now. It has become more fitting to disguise it in a positive, fruitful vitality. Much surrounded and well loved. You can be the cause of concord or of discord. You will marry a high official belonging to a foreign family. This will most likely take place fourteen months from December 24.

A. Gh. (Hama)

A distinguished character verging on softness. You love your little mirror and cover it with absolute secrecy. Very much loved... whoever hates you fears you and respects you in his heart of hearts. You possess the elements needed to be an excellent artist. As for your marriage, it will most likely be a marriage of convenience, yet it is not likely to be stripped of happiness.

Gh. Sh. Gh. (Baghdad)

A capricious character, not without contradiction. A lovable simplicity, much approved in your circle. It has won you a certain success, for the goodness of your heart covers all your doings, and your hidden intelligence works strongly upon minds... A pleasant surprise will come to you thirteen weeks after April 8.

L. F. L. (Jerusalem)

A disposition modest in appearance, noble in substance. You are adorned with virtues that promise the finest testimonials. You will pass through every hazard and carry them all off. The day when you will bring great projects to pass may be near, and a cause of astonishment to many people who do not understand you — and most likely never will. A very wealthy marriage. Success. Six or seven journeys.

F. S. (Homs)

An independent personality, little given to shyness. You seek the greatest advantages, above all in your relations with people. You should be advised to watch yourself and to return to your true self, for you are being watched, and on this your future in general depends — above all your private and emotional life. Give your hand only to one who truly deserves you.

Sh. H. (Beirut)

A disposition that appears lovely, yet is not without a certain complication and hidden corners. Take pains to be more straightforward and realistic, and do not strive to be odd in your ways. You will succeed more if you aim at simplicity. Some journeys. Many changes of place. Marriage, most likely, to an official of the state.

A. Sh. M. (Haifa)

A disposition not easily penetrated. Somewhat reticent, and at times you exaggerate. Very loyal to others. On the whole broad of character, open-handed. Certain friends on whom you relied have played you false. Your morale is firm, and your will subdues difficulties and attains its object. Your marriage will take place at the time when you are thinking of marriage least.

A. J. (Gaza)

A fluid disposition, liable to change, yet much loved and much sought after. Playfulness and adventures within the permitted bounds.

Those who mock you are those who envy you; they must be avoided. Keep to sobriety to avoid contempt. Your marriage is difficult, but your husband will be very happy. Good luck.

S. M. A. (Gaza)

A highly emotional disposition, not without beauty. A touching simplicity of heart. You love beauty and splendor, without abandon and without infatuation. A poetess, of angelic sweetness, scrupulous of conscience, much given to dreams. A love marriage is the likelier; when it comes, shun your circle and devote yourself to "your man."

A. J. (Gaza)

A positive and highly respected personality, harsh and exacting on the surface, a lover of order, of artistic arrangement, and of comfort, insofar as these secure you ease and freedom in your work. Good of heart toward those who suffer and those who seek the light. You should be advised to be less harsh and less ready for a quarrel... A journey to the village, followed by an honorable marriage. A very long life.

T. Gh. (Beirut)

A moderate, regular, logical personality. You can be very good, for the substance is very rich and lacks only expression. It appears that your life will be long and filled with peace and gladness; beware, nevertheless, of surrendering to vanity. Value people and things at their true worth. An early marriage. A middling life.

Nahd. H. (Beirut)

A disposition not free of waywardness, yet full of charm. Your love is great and returned; but keep close company with yourself and beware of a slip where no remedy avails... In the end you will find the secret of a more complete happiness. It is probable that you have the luck to win a grand prize, with a love marriage to follow upon it.

S. D. (Baghdad)

A disposition that does not trouble itself much, and it appears that she takes pleasure in going to lengths to make people talk about her. On the whole loyal and good... at times withdrawn and reticent, without malice, and from an instinctive bent toward jest... A distant possibility of a wealthy marriage, followed by a removal to one of the Arab countries of the Near East.

S. K. (Aleppo)

A gentle disposition, out of the ordinary, companionable and much given to loving... Her reticence, born of loyalty to others, exposes her at times to dangers: for whatever is not understood gets weighed and repeated... You love beauty in all your circumstances. You will achieve certain success if you pursue it seriously and without interruption. A quite singular trait: marriage is not your sole preoccupation, and yet the best of it comes to you the less you think of it.

S. J. (Nabatieh)

An intuitive disposition, not without nervousness... At times it carries itself away with forebodings, most of them woven by a fertile and active imagination... You love greatly, though you are difficult on the surface, and only later will you consent to have your freedom bound... The possibility of a humble future, but one abundant in happiness... Poverty is very largely ruled out. A middling life.

An honorable, generous, and very sweet disposition. Your life is musical, your heart full of feeling and of pity; you suffer with the weak and the helpless. A little caution will guarantee your success and keep deception away from you. You will think of marriage attentively later on.

A disposition quick to be moved and quick to take fire; you surrender much to your emotions and at times neglect the substance of things. This heedlessness has won you a certain success in the field of imagination and invention. Your marriage is near — and if it comes quickly — it will cause a great family commotion.

A contradictory disposition, good yet not without harshness, calm and stormy, at times steady and at times changeable, of fertile imagination; your will, however, is pliant and not without weakness. Many friends and enemies. Many engagements broken off. You will make your husband wretched or happy according to the circumstances in which you find yourself. A late marriage to a merchant.

A disposition frank and willing on the surface, not without optimism, yet resting on reflection and sobriety in its decisions. An inclination toward philosophy, and progressive, liberating ideas. You could succeed at the bar and in politics, were you admitted. A suitable marriage, but that is not what matters most to you. Good luck!

Shy; but with wise guidance you quickly become tractable and useful. Your will must be improved so that your success may improve; but do not neglect the chance of a happiness near at hand that will show itself to you. A great deal of money.

A positive and watchful disposition, unbending and nervous of will, suggesting neither in truth nor in appearance its real capacity. You will have a fine future if you hold firm to your way of judging persons and things. A venture near at hand for the sake of marriage; but you will know how to decide for the best.

A placid disposition, steady and unchangeable... rare and astonishing outbursts of temperament. Not free of unhappiness, but she loves from her depths, and with entire sincerity, whoever knows how to watch over her private life and finds acceptance with her... The possibility of a future in the Mahjar. Marriage to a businessman. A life in which pleasure will not be scarce.
