WHAT THE TEA LEAVES TELL.
Do you know how to te!! fortunes in a teacup? It furnishes a great deal of .entertainment at a party. This Ch'ncse rhyme explains :t : "One leaf, alone you'll be. Two together, the pr'est you'll see. Three together, your wish will gain. Four, a letter from loving swain. Five, good news the letter will bring, Six in a row, a song you'll sing. Seven together, good fortune awaits So say to you the teacups' fates. Tea leaves'iarge and tea leaves tail Bring you company, great and small Tea leaves many nnd Mattered fine Is of bad link'the surest sign ; Tea leaves few and near the rim, Your cup of joy o'erflows the brim."
