Fortune-telling by tea leaves
Wavy lines.
Initial 'E' in conjunction with Horse-shoe.
Hour-glass near rim.
Parcel in conjunction with numeral '4.'
INTERPRETATION
FIG. 3
This shows, by means of the crescent moon on the side, prosperity and
fortune as the result of a journey denoted by the lines. The number
of triangles in conjunction with the initial 'H' indicates the name
commences with that letter, and, being near the rim, at no great
distance of time. The bird flying towards and near the handle,
accompanied by a triangle and a long envelope, denotes good news from an
official source. The flag gives warning of some danger from an enemy.

FIG. 3
_Principal Symbols_:--
Crescent moon.
Bird flying.
Triangles.
Flag.
Initial 'A' in conjunction with sign of letter in official
envelope.
Other initials, 'H' and two 'L's.'
INTERPRETATION
FIG. 4
The consultant is about to journey eastward to some large building or
institution, shown by the figure at the end of the straight line of
dots. There is some confusion in his or her affairs caused by too much
indulgence in pleasure and gaiety, denoted by the butterfly involved
in obscure groups of tea-leaves near the handle. The tree and the
fleur-de-lys (or lily) in the bottom of the cup are, however, signs of
eventual success, probably through the assistance of some person whose
name begins with an 'N.'

FIG. 4
_Principal Symbols_:--
Large tree in bottom of cup.
Fleur-de-lys (or lily).
Butterfly on side approaching handle.
Line of dots leading east to Building.
Initials 'N' and 'C.'
INTERPRETATION
FIG.5
A letter is approaching the consultant containing a considerable sum of
money, as it is surrounded by dots. The future, shown by the bottom of
the cup, is not clear, and betokens adversities; but the presence of the
hammer there denotes triumph over these, a sign confirmed by the hat on
the side. The consultant will be annoyed by somebody whose name begins
with 'J,' and assisted by one bearing the initial 'Y.'

FIG. 5
_Principal Symbols_:--
Hammer in centre of bottom.
A letter approaching the house, accompanied by
Dots,
Hat,
Initials 'Y' and 'J' (accompanied by small cross).
INTERPRETATION
FIG. 6
A letter containing good news, shown by bird flying and the triangle,
may be expected immediately. If from a lover it shows that he is
constant and prosperous, owing to the anchor on the side. The large
tree on the side indicates happiness and prosperity. A letter will be
received from someone whose initial is 'L.' In the bottom of the cup
there are signs of minor vexations or delays in connection with someone
whose name begins with 'C.'
