"Playing for Keeps"

A small boy having highly respect
able parents brought home bag Of
marbles, and on being asked how he
came by them replied that he had
played "for keeps" He was lectured
on the sin of gambling and forced to
return his ill-gotten gains. A night or
two later progressive euchre party
was in order, and the prizes bought for
the occasion stirred the family pride a
considerable degree. The small boy
duly admired them, and then went to
bed previous to the guests arrival. In
the morning the prizes were no where
to be seen, and on inquiry as to their
disposition he was told that the people
who won them had carried them away.
Then he naturally asked: ''lsn't that

Traps for Americans.

An American gentleman. who for
many years past has been established in
business in Paris, received one day a
call from handsomely dressed female
in whom he recognized a notorious
American member of the demimonde of
Paris. She came, she said, to propose
to him lucrative business transaction.
She had in her possession a list of sun
dry high-born and titled gentlemen who
wished to marry rich American girls,
and she displayed such list inscribed
with some of the proudest names of the
French aristocracy. II my countryman
would inform her of the arrival in Paris
of any wealthy American ladies, and of
the presumed amount of their fortunes,
she would, on the accomplishment of a
marriage between any one of these and
one of her clients. at once pay over TO
him half of her stipulated percentage on
the dowry, which in her case was to
amount to 10 per cent. 1t is needless
to say that the woman's offer was re-
fused. But the very fact of its being
made showed how widespread is the
system of the matrimonial agency in
Paris, and how extensive and elaborate
must be its arrangements for obtaining
information.
There is an Austrian gentleman NOV
ing in the best society of Paris whom /
strongly suspect of being one of the Sc
cret and accredited agents of one of
these establishments. He tried hard,
but in vain, some years ago. to bring
about match between the daughter
and only child of a wealthy American
gentleman then visiting this city and
French duke of ancient family. The
duke turned out finally to be an impos-
tor, and was forced to take flight from
Paris. Employees of these agencies are
also to be found at the principal hotels
here. They are usually women, gener-
ally bear high-sounding titles, and are
pleasant of manner and affable of bear
ing. Their business is TO make acquain-
lance with rich Americans who have
daughters, so that the daughters afore-
said may be presented to impecunious
adventurers on the lookout to repair
their fortunes by marriage. The mat
ter is very adroitly managed, an opera
or theater party or a little dance be-
ing gotten up by the amiable French
lady to amuse her sweet, new young
friend, the luckless damsel whose dol
lars, real or rumored, have caused her
to be selected as fitting victim. At
the dance or at the theater the intro
duction takes place, and the fascina-
tons of the gentleman are supposed to
do the rest. Very often, indeed, the
promoter of the whole series of maneu-
vers is not connected with any agency
whatever, but is acting on her own ac-
count. Philadelphia Telegraph

Tip-toe and take from all the skies

Had lost her way some lazy night
And lodged there till the afternoon.
Oh, vast white bosoms, breathing love,

And pipes on reeds of pleasant things
