Original sentence in the novel is:

> 何 **かしら** の手は打ってくるだろう

[A post in this site](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/164/are-
there-any-situations-where-%E3%81%8B%E3%81%97%E3%82%89-is-considered-
appropriate-normal-for-males-to) shows that it is a particle used more by
females, while
[tangorin](http://tangorin.com/general/%E3%81%8B%E3%81%97%E3%82%89) also shows
it to be used as the meaning of "head", aside of the usage as a particle to
mean "I wonder".

I think I'm supposed to treat it as a particle, but then there is the の
particle that just confuses me. Can someone please explain the usage of かしら
with の in this context?

grammar word-choice translation
How should かしら be used in the middle of the sentence?
何かしら means something along "about something or another".

子供はいつもなにかしらいたずらをしている。

Children are always doing some mischief (or other stupid things).

誰でも[何]{なに}かしら[欠点]{けってん}がある。

Everybody has some weak points (or other faults e.t.c.).

かしら after 何 qualifies 何 as something not necessarily limiting to the object of
the sentence (e.g. the mischief) but also to other similar actions ( e.g.
pranks e.t.c).
