ORTUNE- TELLING by cards nothing more hor less than a ga) of cards and is as easily learned as euchre, pedro or whist, which any one of average intelligence can learn to play. ‘The degree of skill acquired by the player depends upon his aptitude In mem- orizing and applying the rules of the game to the combinations of cards pre- sented In play. ‘The system of cartomancy used in these lessons is Mme. Camille le Nor- mami’s, The tllustrations ere repro- duced from her book, ‘Fortune-Telling ‘by Cards," by pormfsion of the pub- lisher, Henry J. Wetman. The firet step is to arrange the cars. Take an ordinary pack of playing cards. Remove the twos, threes, fours, fives and sixes of all suits or colors, Thirty- two cards will be left. Of these select the kings, queens, Knayes, nines, eights and sevens. On the end of each card write the letter “T,'’ denoting top, it makes no difference which end is selected, excapt in the case of seven spots, where it should be placed close to the odd emblem. To this pack of thirty-two cards add & blank card, or joker. In the case of @ blank card write ‘oss it the word “Consultant.” This represents the person whose fortune fs being told. If there fs not a blank card at hand take one of the discards, marking it for the purpose. Now, take the thirty-three cards and arrange them in the following order: King, queen, knave, ace, ten, nine, eight, and sevén of each sult. ShuMe the pack well, faces down.

The surprise is read last. Should the consultant card, represent- ing either male or femate, come out re- versed, it shows that the consultant is vexed or annoyed. Should the consult- ant card not come out in the deal, it is néceasary to take up the twenty-one ‘vards, shuffle them. arid replace them, a you have done in the first instance.
