Told by the Cards (1913)
A girl with four sweethearts, all desirous of marrying her, is in doubt of their natures. Dreading to step blindly into matrimony and recalling the name of a fortune teller of whom she has heard many wonderful things, she makes a visit to the clairvoyant. She is given, after the séance, a pack of cards in which her fortune has been told, and requested to place them beneath her pillow that night, with the explanation that the cards will tell her in a dream, what her married life with each of them would be. She complies willingly, and result that the dream cards bring is as follows: The Jack of Clubs appears to her. Through the face of the card she sees herself married to the man whom the card represents, called "The Jack of Clubs." The dream tells her that he at heart is a brute; the dream changes. Life with the Jack of Diamonds appears to her. He, she finds, has an extraordinary passion for liquor. So much for the Jack of Diamonds. Next, the Jack of Spades. He is a beast, untrue, cruel, truly "A Jack of Spades." Lastly comes the fourth, "The Jack of Hearts." She sees herself the simple little housewife, living happily with the man of her heart, kind, generous, and a true lover. She awakens and determines to test her dream. Calling the four men together that afternoon, she points to the four Jacks of the deck, which she has placed face downward upon the table, and orders that each choose a card. To her surprise and awe, each man picks the card that fitted him in the dream, showing that the message must have had some psychological reason. She explains her dream to them and much to the mortification of the other three Jacks, accepts the Jack of Hearts.
