self playing" Cards have
only to be dealt, they will
play Themselves as we'll and
as skillfully as an expert
could. One person can
play a game of whist, an
exciting one, too, all alone.
Two or three can play
whist and make the game
as interesting as if four
good players were behind
the hands. This is an en-
tirely new plan, wholly un-
like all others for playing
a quartette game, and it
has the added value Of be-
ing instructive. More in
formation of the principles
of whist can be gained by
a little practice with the
self playing cards than can
be got in any other way.
The first lot of these Cards
was sold in a day. We
have just received the sec
ond lot and they are to be
had at the Stationery De-
partment today.
