fortune- idling. 



HIS is a very interesting game, and may be played by any 

 number of persons. A board is made and divided into 

 eleven squares each way, as shown in the diagram given 

 here, the figure one being in the centre. Each square must 

 be numbered as in the diagram. The person who wishes 

 to try his fortune must place his forefinger on a square 

 without looking at it; then refer to the list for the num- 

 ber marked on the square touched, and you will obtain an 

 answer, which, like those given by professed fortune tol- 

 lers, will often prove false or ridiculous; as, for instance, when a married 

 lady is told that she longs to be married (84), or a child of seven is in- 

 formed that he will be married this year (89) ; but it is a very amusing 

 notwithstanding.
