Here, indeed, is a book every young man or woman should have. You must have often noticed at card parties, while sitting or standing around waiting for late arrivals to come, there are a few moments when you wish they’d start, or you wish there was “something doing.” Just at this moment is your chance to make a hit with your fortune-telling by cards. No matter how poor you are at it, the crowd will flock around you four and five deep. You will be the king bee, as it were, and you will have the inward pleasure of making the others feel like a long skirt on a rainy day—very damp. In addition to the above, “Fortune-Telling by the Magic Crystal” is gone into in detail, giving all the symbols for a correct divination of the future. “The Oraculum: or, Napoleon Buonaparte’s Book of Fate” (especially translated) is given here for perhaps the first time in the English language. A table of questions generally applicable has been compiled, and 16 pages of answers, to suit any temperament or individuality, are given. “Fortune-Telling With Dice” is very complete, giving an assorted list of 32 answers to questions for every possible throw of two dice. Get this book, study it, and use it at the first opportunity, and if the girls don’t say you are certainly IT we’ll refund the money. Here’s a chance to make a hit.
The book contains 100 pages, fully illustrated, is bound in paper cover, and will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 30 cents. [Address]
