DO YOU KNOW—

That you can get a lot of fun at a fcaparty by telling the teacups? You can make quite a sum of money for a sale of work or a garden party if you dress up like a gipsy and tell the teacups for a small payment. That the teacup talcs just amuse people and make them laugh, so there s no pretence of fortune-telling? That to tell the teacups you empty your cup by drinking the tea, give it a twist three times in your left hand, turn it upside down in the saucer to drip, and then read? That if the leaves look like the figure one in two places on the side of the cup it means that you have a friend who will stick to you through thick and thin? That when the leaves form groups on two sides, running up towards the brim of the cup, and look like a hill, you will have lo go a journey? That the group on one side only means that a single person will meet a new sweetheart, and that a married couple will soon nave more money to spend? That when a lot of leaves, spread over the bottom of the cup like tiny dogs, are in two places money is coining to you ? That trouble is at tiand when a lot of leaves stick in a mass at the bottom of the cup? That a letter is on the way, and that there will be good news in it, when a little hunch of leaves stick together, and there are two of those bunches? Thai a single tea-leaf lying alone on the bottom of your teacup means that you are going to have an illness? That it is all for fun, of course? Bui. it helps to amuse people and keep them cheery, and there is no harm in ik.
