perts, In measure, and they probably had
paid dearly for'their experience. They en-
joyed the races, however, and the fun and
excitement of betting had as much attraction
for them as the mere gambling part OF the
transaction.
At Brighton Beach one sees the worst side
OF betting among women. Day after day,
rain or shine, one can see the same faces at
the lower end of the stand, all outwardly in
different, but at the same tirnd intensely in
terested in form, condition, weights, and
jockeys. The racing itself does not interest
them. They do not even take the trouble Of
looking at the contests. A finish may cause
them to arise; but it is only to see whether
the horse that they have backed is doing well.
They win or lose with the most philosophical
outward Indifference. An instance occurred
few days ago, within the hearing OF the
writer, which fully shows to what an extent
women will go that have become enslaved to
betting. 1t was the race which Vocalic won
at Sheepshead bay last Saturday. The finish
between him and Miss Brewster was a very
close one, and from that part of the stand
where the writer sat it looked very much as
II the FLY had won by nose. Immediately
behind the writer sat middle-aged woman,
OF matronly proportions and demeanor. Her
lace was white with suppressed excitement.
In fact, she was SO nervous that she did not
trust herself to look at the race. When Miss
Brewster challenged Vocalic in the stretch
she arose, however, and big beads OF perspir-
alton started on her forehead. As the horses
shot past the post she clutched the writer's
arm and hoarsely inquired: ''What do you
think won, sirl'' "Mss Brewster, believe
was the reply. ''My God" she exclaimed,
don't tell me that! / have backed the 9TH
er one" A few minutes after, Voealic's
number went up The woman almost cried
with joy. ''That saved me-" she said, for
getting her reserve in her delight. Il was
away out on the meeting, and to get even l
took $50, which my husband had laid aside
to pay the interest on a loan. Twenty-Five
dollars went on the other races, and, attract
ed by Vocalic's light weight, l determined to
risk all that was left on him. Had Vocalic
lost, / am afraid that could not have faced
my husband. Now, however, / win $3.50,
which puts me nearly $50 to the good on the
meeting.''
Occurrences like this make even the most
enthusiastic male plunger look rather queerly
at his favorite amusement or mode of specu-
lation, whatever he choose to call it.

WOMEN BETTING AT THE RACES.
Pin Money! Melting Like Net Sxgar-Fe-
mate Gambling Parties q Feature.
TThe Hour I

One of the most striking features of gath
hold the betting mania has acquired over the
gentle sex. The days of wagering boxes of
gloves or bonbons are practically over, and
the keenness with which women pursue the
mighty dollar in the betting rings is little
short Of marvellous to the merely casual race
goer. Time was when ladies did not attend
races save in the company Of their husbands,
brothers, or intimate male friends. Now for
q great number of women who go to racing
a male escort is superfuous; in fact he is in
the way. There are messengers on the
grand stand who do all the buying of tickets,
and also the cashing in for small per cent
age, and do it much more quickly and re-
liably than the ordinary male race-goer can
do. The consequence is that regular hen
parties are now made up for the races, ana
pin money goes in way amazing to behold
to the unsophstcated husband or father.
In its milder stage the betting fever among
women is rather amusing, and providing the
female hacker is provided with liberal al
lowance of common sense, it will lead to no
particular harm. The writer numbers
among his acquaintance lady whom her
husband has taken to races very frequently
during the past three or four years. He
never bet himself, but he allows her from
$50 to s25 day to invest. She starts in
every year with charming enthusiasm to bet
nationally and carefully, so as to make
enough money to buy liberal presents for
husband and friends, out in her career thus
far she has failed signally She made her
beginning this year at Sheepshead bay,
and impaired to the writer in confidence
that she intended to buy Conversation
chair' for her husband with the proceeds
of her Coney island investments The
first three days she was out, but last she got
a fresh supply of money. It melted Ike ice
| under blazing July sun. Finally she be-
gan to grow demoralized, and bought one
of the rs cent. ''tips," which ran her deeper
into difficulties. ''Dear me-" she said sad
", on the way home, ''sueh luck! After
the second race l began to give up ali hope
of getting money for chair, but did
hope that l would win sufficient to purchase
couple of tides. Now, even they have
flown to the dim distance.''
While this lady was unlucky, however,
there was a bevy of fair ones betting i'm
mediately behind her who ''picked' winners
with startlingly uniform success. There were
four of them, and they won on six out of the
seven races on the card. They were adept in
the use of racing slang. They knew all about
''pace" and Judgment They praised
Lewis s'strong fnish," and condemned Me-
Laughlin for having ridden War Eagle ''all
over the place." Altogether, they were ex-

Coughs Dread ~ an audience.
ATLANTA Constitution.

The great temperance orator, John B.
Cough, says that he has not yet overcome the
nervousness produced by the sight of an au-
dience. Even now his knees always tremble
when he first opens his mouth. During the
first eighteen years of his lecturing expert
ence he spoke only on temperance, deliver
ing 5,400 lectures, 1,160 of which were in
Great Britain. In his early youth he enjoyed
no advantages and he was twenty-five years
old before he read any literary productions.
In his early career as a speaker Mr.. Cough
felt many misgivings on account of his lack
of education, but when lie met Wendell Phil
lips and Mr.. Blaine they made him forget his
disadvantages, and encouraged him greatly.
Mr.. Cough says that he has no desire TO pose
as great thinker or great Speaker. He
considers himself a mere story-teller, but
nevertheless he speaks with an object ia view.

How oft thy arts have bound two hearts

attend the ceremony at the church. This
sometimes takes the place of issuing cards.
No one thinks of calling on the newlymar-
ried who has not received either an invita-
ton to the ceremony at the church or cards
after their establishment in their new home.
In most cases the after-cards are ordered
with the other cards, and the brides mother
pays for them. But il they are ordered after
the marriage, the groom may pay for these
as he would pay for his wifc's ordinary ex-
penscs Still, it is stricter etiquette that
even these should be paid for by the BRIDES
family
People who are asked to the wedding send
cards to the house if they can not attend,
and, in any case, send or leave cards within
ten days after unless they are in very deep
mourning, when a dispensation isgranted
them.
The etiquette of wedding at home does
not differ ut ali from the etiquette of we'd
ding III church with regard to cards. A great
confusion seems to exist in the minds of
some as to whom they shall send their return
cards on being invited to a wedding. Some
ask: ''Shall / send them to the bride, as
do not know her mother! Certainly not;
send them to whomsoever invites you. AT
terward call on the bride or send her cards;
but the first and important card goes to the
lady who gives the wedding.
The order of the religious part of the cere-
mony is fixed by the church in which it oc-
ours. The groom must call on the clergy
man, see the organist, and make whatever
arrangements the bride pleases; but all ex-
penses, excepting the fee of the clergyman,
are borne by the brids's family.
The sexton should see to it that the white
ribbon is stretched across the aisle, that the
awning and carpet are in place; and it would
be well if the police regulations could extend
to the group of idlers who crowd around the
church door, to the great Inconvenience of
the guests.
A wedding invitation requires no answer,
unless it be to sit-down wedding breakfast.
Cards left afterward are all-sufficient. The
separate cards of the bride and groom are no
longer included in the invitation. Nothing
black in the way of dress but the gentlemen's
coats is admissible at a wedding .-Harper's
