In explaining the cards, my dear readers, to any one, shuffle the pack three times, and let the person who wishes to know his fortune cut it three times in succession. Then take up the cards, and let the person in question draw one. This drawn card you place first upon the table. Then spread out the pack in four rows, each containing eight cards. (See Engraving.)

The first card is of the highest significance. In the first place it indicates the character of the person inquiring, and according to the following rule:

♠ Choleric, passionate, violent.

♣ Sanguine, cheerful, mirthful, witty.

♦ Phlegmatic, practical, unexcitable.

♥ Melancholic, sentimental, poetical, talented.
