Means and Their Mystic Relative
Significance to Each Othor

brunette. For young man jack is
selected in the same way. For a
middle-aged Or old man q king, says
the New York Herald
When the .self card' is selected
place it on the table face upward.
Then shuttle the remaining cards, take
every seventh one, place the first
seventh card above the self card face
upward, the second seventh card to
the left of the self card. the third to
the right and the fourth under it.
Before going amy further it is
necessary to know the significance of
each card, so2that the fortune can he
told. The following list tells just
what each card means:
Seven Spots-Spades, this blues: diamonds,
deceit; hearts, jealousy: clubs, rim; at the
bell
Eight SpotS-Spldes fight; diamonds.
money hearts, love: clubs, drink or drinking.
Nine Spets-Spades, disappointment; dia-
monds, want Of money: hearts, the wish card,
your wish; clubs, for sure.
Ten Spots-Spades, at nj ght diamonds much
money; hearts, anusements, delight, pleasure;
clubs, journey.
Jacks-Spades. very dark young man: dia-
monds, very light young man: hearts, sandy
complexoned youn. man. clubs, young man
between light and dark.
Queens-The suits designate complexion for
the fair sex, the same as the jacks do for
young men,
Kings-Old'or middle-aged men, distinguished
as to complexion in the same manner as the
jacks and queens.
Aces-Spades, a change: diamonds a letter;
hearts, the house clubs, bundle or news
These definitions are strictly ad-
hered to in reading the cards, but
person with a good supply of
synonyms can interpret them liber-
ally, to suit the exigencies of any
ease.
We will now suppose that the
young lady who is telling her fortune
is a red-headed girl, as that is the
fashionable kind of hair to have, and
that she wants to know if her wish to
go to the worlds fair and have a
good time will come true.
The first seventh card she put down
was, let us say, the nine of spades
That represents disappointment.
She is then crowned with disappoint-
ment and will either not go or not
have a good time.
The second card put down was the
ace of spades Ga change). Evidently
she will not go to Chicago.
The third card proves to be the
ten of clubs Ca Journey. She will
certainly take a trip somewhere then.
The fourth card is the ten of hearts
(pleasure), so that after all she will
have good time.
Now had the first card been the
nine of hearts (the wish card), her
wish, whatever it was, would have
been granted, and had the last card
been the nine of clubs there would
have been no doubt about any part
of her wish coming true, as that is
the ''for sure'' card.
Remember, the deck must be
shuffied each time before the seventh
card is counted off.
Continue shutting and placing
seventh cards until one is placed on
each of the four surrounding the
''self card" Then select three in
the same manner and place them face
downward ON the .'self card" Ex-
anime the cards in the pairs and in
terpret their meaning.
Then pick up the three on the
queen and examine them. Suppose
they consisted of the ten of spades.
the ace of clubs and the Jack OF
clubs. That would mean that she
would hear news late at,night about
IA young man with brown hair.
Now the wedding out begins.
'lCards of the same denomination arc
placed together. Pairs are cast
,aside. When a single card of any
denomination remains it is held fo1
the final reading. After this sorting,
suppose she had left the king o.
spades, the seven Of clubs, the ten o.
diamonds land the eight of hearts,
This will mean that a middle-age6
dark man will call on her (ring the
belly, who is very rich and who loves
her.
In selecting the card to remain
when three Of "a denomination ap
pear they must be turned face down
sshutfaed and one drawn with CLOSED
eyes.
The telling of the fortune is moi
postponed until the final selection o.
tho card has been made. It begins
with the first card, whose position a.
the browning card has considerable
Significance. Then che card that one
'tfaces up is also important AS well
as the one you ''tunn your back on
The cards th&t come together like
che pair over the self card are con
sidered ia their relationship to each
other. But the all-important corubi
nation is found in the cards that re
main after the final sitting. They
are 'tthe fortune
OF course any sort of question o.
wish can be worked out in this way.
