Cards of Courtship. Arranged with such apt Conversations 

 that you will be enabled to ask the momentoua question categorically, ia 

 •tich a delicate manner that the girl will not suspect what you are at. 

 These cards may be used, either by two persons, or they will make lots of 

 fun for an evening party of young people. There are fourteen question 

 cards, and twenty-eight answers— forty-two in all. Each answer will re- 

 ipond differently to every one of the questions. The person holding the 

 questions either selects or draws one out, as he pleases. The answer is giv- 

 en by shuffing the answer cards, and then throwing one of them down pro- 

 miscuously. It may be a warm and loving, a non-committal, a genial as-j 

 Beating, a cold denying, an evasive, or even a coquettishly uncertain answer, 

 —for they are all there, besides others which it is difficult to classity. Wheai 

 used in a party, the question is read aloud by the lady receiving it— sho 

 •huffles and hands out an answer — and that also must be read aloud by 

 the gentleman receiving it. The fun thus caused is intense. Put up in 

 handsome card cases, on which are printed dii-pctions. Price 30 cts»
