Original source (English)

For a young woman to dream of palmistry, foretells she will be the object of suspicion.

If she has her palms read, she will have many friends of the opposite sex, but her own sex will condemn her. If she reads others' hands, she will gain distinction by her intelligent bearing. If a minister's hand, she will need friends, even in her elevation.
