82 The room in which the future is to be tested should be of inky darkness, with half-dozen or more white lights set in form of double-three dominoes; and a gown of black-and-white "polka-dot" should be worn by the "revealer of destinies."

The dominoes should rest face down on a smooth table of white marble or oil-cloth. The inquirer seats himself at table, shuffles dominoes, and from them draws five dominoes. From these the seer must concoct a "revelation" of sufficient detail and length. As an aid the following are given: Double-six denotes receipt of money, will be very rich. Six-five denotes amusement and success. Six-four denotes early marriage and much happiness. Six-three denotes constancy and affection. Six-two denotes orderly, economical, and industrious. Six-one denotes will marry twice, rich in old age. Six-blank denotes will learn of death of a dear friend. Double-five denotes will be very lucky in everything. Five-four denotes will marry poor. Five-three denotes ample means and eventual wealth. Five-two denotes unfortunate love affair. Five-one denotes an invitation to an enjoyable affair. Five-blank denotes avoid gambling and games of chance. Double-four denotes lucky to lovers, farmers, and laborers. Four-three denotes neither riches nor poverty. Four-two denotes a change in your circumstances. Four-one denotes you will be childless but rich. Four-blank denotes quarrels and separations, never marry. Double-three denotes immense riches. Three-two denotes fortunate in love, marriage, and business. Three-one denotes not favorable. Three-blank denotes your sweetheart is deceitful. Double-two denotes thrifty and successful, moderately rich. Two-one denotes a life of luxury, but never marry. Two-blank denotes poverty and bad luck. Double-ace denotes constancy in love and marriage. Ace-blank denotes travel in great luxury. Double-blank denotes selfish, miserly, and heartless.
