Telling Fortunes in Tea Ground.


A device on sale at some of the
shops enables every woman to be her
own fortune teller. 1t consists OF a
cup and saucer containing astrologi-
cal and other signs Of portent anS
mystery by which future destinies may
be read in tea grounds. From the su-
perstitious and ignorant darkies of the
south to the learned and practical spin
sters of New England there is a pecu-
liar reverence in the feminine mind for
tea grounds, often partially concealed
or wholly denied, but still there. A
certain Massachusetts, wor an was al
ways besought to read the fortunes Of
the family and their friends on her
periodic visits to a large circle of
nieces and nephews. At first she
invariably refused to comply, At the
second request she would glance long
ingly at her teacup, then press her
lips firmly together and shake her head
in negation. In the end she always
yielded, and it was difficult to say
whether she or the young people en-
ioyed the reading the most. Profes-
sional or accomplished readers OF fate
in tea grounds may disdain the for
mally prescribed rules of the fortune
telling cup, Out the amateur will fine
it helpful in cropping her way to The
Interpretation of fortunes" by thl!
time-honored method.
