THE
CONGRESS
OF
COURT
CARDS.--Take
the
kings,
queens,
and
knaves
from
the
pack,
and
place
them
face
upwards
on
the
table
in
three
rows
of
four
each,
avoiding
as
much
as
possible
the
appearance
of
arrangement,
but
really
taking
care
to
place
them
in
the
following
order:
In
the
first
row
you
have
only
to
remember
not
to
have
two
of
the
same
suit.
Begin
the
second
row
with
a
card
of
the
same
suit
with
which
you
ended
the
first,
let
the
second
card
be
of
the
same
suit
as
the
first
of
the
first
row,
the
third
of
the
same
suit
as
the
second
of
the
first
row,
and
so
on.
The
third
row
will
begin
with
the
suit
with
which
the
second
left
off,
the
second
card
will
be
of
the
same
suit
as
the
first
of
the
second
row,
and
so
on.
Now
pick
up
the
cards
in
vertical
rows,
beginning
with
the
last
card
of
the
bottom
row.
The
cards
may
now
be
cut
(not
shuffled)
any
number
of
times,
but,
if
dealt
in
four
heaps,
the
king,
queen,
and
knave
of
each
suit
will
come
together.
