When they are thus placed they are faced up, with the H on top and the Queen at the bottom. Now turn them over, so that they are face dow lt with the Queen on top. Take the top card and place it underneath the pack and say "O"; place the next- <*ard underneath the pack in the same way and say "X," and the ne.d card turn face up on the table, saying " IC —OXK. Leaving " |<] " nice up, place the next tup card underneath th'j pack, saying "T ": the-next the same way. saying "W." and the next lay face up on the table, saying "0 TWfr), and so on through the suit.
