your fortune take these cards or first. Do

sire. Take the cards up slowly and care
fully. consulting the guide all the while.
If you have chosen a light color and the
cards of that suit predominant, you will
get your wish. If the dark cards are in
| excess, you will certainly be disappointed.
Out of the remaining cards draw six. Wish
on them. If more light cards than dark
ones prevail. you will get your wish. You

The Gypsy Queens Secret.
The Gypsy Queens Secret is a very VAL
| liable thing for card readers to know. 1t is
better than all the paragraphs and oujahs
| that were ever invented. You have only to
| try 1t to find this out for yourself. In this
| method of divination the ace is the ruling
| card. The single spots are OF paramount
| importance. Always shuttle the cards well.
Poor shutting is always productive of un-
| satisfactory results. Bear this well in mind.
In order to work out the famous Gypsy
| corner and not at the right. After having
| carefully shuffied the cards. run the pack
oIt by placing card on each Of four cor
ners. Keep this up in regular order until
the last card has been laid on the table.
Now take up the first little pile of cards.
Take off card after card until you come
to an ace. Then lay the cards you have
| lifted off to one side. Take up the coni
| or upper left-hand corner pile and place
upon the ace and other cards You are hold
ing in your hand. Do not put them under
meath, but right on top and against the ace.
Now lift off the VI per cards until you come
| to an ace. Lay the lifted cards to one side,
| just as you did before. Sometimes it SO
happens that the top card of one of the lit
tie piles is an ace. In that case simply
place them On top of those you already
hold in your hand and go on to the next
| pile.
When you have gone through all four
| piles. distribute them again. this time into
| only three little packs. and not touching
those cards you previously laid aside. Go
| through the same process of card she'd
ding, s'opning only when you have come to
an ace. Having done this. you distribute
them again. this time into two little packs
1t is, of course, supposed that you have
made your wish before beginning. The OH
| ject of all this card piling in little packs
and card shedding is to in the end bring
| all the aces of the pack together If you
succeed in doing this your wish will posi-
lively come true. You can almost wager
| your life on this. If you don't believe it
| Just try the experiment
After having distributed the cards for the
| third time. and having gone through the
final process Of card shedding. you will
| find that the cards have resolved them
| selves into one very small heap. Now to
| determine whether your wish will come
| true. If, as stated, only aces remain, MOTH
ing can keep you from getting your wish.
| If the wish card Uhe nine of hearts, is in
| the pile, you are reasonably certain of get
| ting that which you desire. Should two
| dark cards be numbered among those that
remain, you will not get your wish. You
can depend upon this. It's bound to be so.
| The significance of other cards that may
remain can be determined by referring to
| the guide.
An easy way to tell YOUR fortune is to
lay the cards in rows Of seven. Then read
them from left to right. Their position
sometimes changes their relative meaning.
| But this may all be learned by constant
practice Another way is to place the card
representing yourself the table and
| range the others around 1t in such a way
| as to form a triangle. Read from your
card up. down and across. If there are
| many picture cards near your own you may
| accept the forecast in its brightest sense.
| Company, good friends and social and
| financial improvement are generally au-
| cured by these cards.
