Fashion in Poker Chips.

Poker chips" said a man who deals

twenty odd years of experience, ..are
selling very rapidly now, and, as far as
my own experience is concerned, the
game becomes more popular every
hour. Apparently everyone is playing
poker, but no one cares for handsome
chips. A few years ago there was very
extensive trade in ivory chips, some of
which are of the most costly character,
and professional gambling houses We'd

chips. Then celluloid and like SUBJ

began to raid the gamblers, cheaper
outfits were secured, until now the
commonest sort of composition clips

chips, after all, if well made. are as
good as the ivory ones, particularly as
they never warp and they can be sized
up accurately. For myself, | think
there is nothing so pleasant in front of
a man as well-turned ivory chips-if
there are enough of them. We sell
great many chips to ladies, and form
erly they used to buy the pretty little
white and blue things, the size of the
top of your finger and as thick as
sheet of paper. They have gone out of
fashion now, and everybody wants the
regular gamblers chip, which is as big
as a trade-dollar and considerably
thicker. Big chips are much easier to
handle than little ones, and somehow a
man can run bluff with more success
when the chips are big and important
looking than when they are like SO
many buttons. The joy of the game is
in bluffing, and hence the popularity of
the big chips. ."-New York san.
