"Mme. Carreno, then, is included in your

''Yes; she is very fond OF the game Mr..

game to make a fuss about"
'Yeu play for money, of course?"
"Wkat game OF cards would be interest

sDo nanny ladies Of the profession take
TO playing poker?"
Il dare say they do, for have yet to
hssr OF theatrical company that does not
vhIie away the time in this ixhscsnt
amusement. Why, the game is played in
almost every house where there are ladies,
and why should professional people decline
to play it? Besides, it does not follow that
because lady plays poker she must play
for money or bet, although q game, what
evsr it is, would be awfully stupid if there

Brignoll, who was passionatly fond Of the
game; but he did not know anything
about it, poor fellow. Two years ago,
when he and both were included in a
company STARTING from Boston, thsre were
several members who went in for playing
for high stakes, and they did not play
honest. Or course I remained out Of
the circle; but Brignoll was bound to play
and always lost, and at the end Of six
cK oaths ne came back without cent. The
poor old man lost all his money, while
several OF the company paid all OF their
expenses out Of thsir winnings"
"Thea the preference is for poker rather
| thax cid rnxid?"
"Wsll, don't know. In Boston we used
to play game called si1-hsndsd eucre. Il
| is highly Interesting game, and is, I be-
lleve, the invention Of Bostonians. Parties
| used to gather at my rooAs every night
after the concert, and We would play until
tina small hours in the morning, and then
it would be dificult for one of the fas-
cinetsd players to leave in time for their

will warrant, on hearts or any other suih of
which he has the bsst hsad. This will show
his partners the color of his hand, and she
party facing him on the other side then
bids similarly en- his hand, but it must be
higher BID, and if it should be on a
SPADE or club it will indicate to his part
nsrs the color Of bis hand. Then she next
on the other side makes his bid, and so on
The last bidder then makes the trump and
plays, loading with one 30 az to call out as
many as possible"
"Is this also betting gamer"
"Oh yes; bets of SO much side are
made to render it interesting, and as she
