HOW PLAYING-CARDS DEVELOPED.

Modern Suits from old

Greek Legend. -

.“The originand developmant of playing-cards" was discussed by Mme. E. Miriam Leon at a meet- ing of the International Society of Philology, Sciences, and Fine Arta in London, recently.

The lecturer said there ap- zo ba no authentic peared information as to the origia of playing-canda.

Some in- vestigators ›gare the honour of inventing cards to India, others to England and other European countries. The early Egyptians played a card game which was still popular among the Italians. The game of pique, which was of great antiquity and considerable scientific passibilities, was much st one time and was played spoken of in the fifteenth century as the royal and delightful

game."
