tertaining at this season.

table. covered with white damask. In

A TELEPHONE trick that seems
"a surrounded by mystery IS this:
Y Tell a friend that there Is n
mind reader In town who Will
read any card that she may pick from
pack. When she has selected the
card give her the telephone number OF
friend of yours who knows the trick.
The name you tell her to ask for de-
pends on the card she holds, For in
stance. II she has chosen the three OF
hearts the last name OF your mind
reader must begin with H the tlrst
letter OF the suit che has selected. The
number or the card determines the let
ter OF the alphabet which shall begin
the first name. Since II is the three
OF hearts any name beginning with tho
third letter OF the alphabet Will serve.
In this case either Charles Harris. or
Charlotte Harmon would do. II tho
queen or clubs had been chosen you
might have given your friend the name
Laura Carson. The two or diamonds
suggests Beatrice Davis, etc. IT may
take your assistant at the other end
some time to figure out the card. but
that may bc done while she is sup
posedly summoning the mind reader"
You will nnd your friend much mystl-
fed when she is told exactly what card
she IS holding.
