WOMEN WHO BET.
A Fatal Fascination Ruinous to
Husbands and Wives.

WOlAdu, WHOSE ndnuSOIue lace WAS
almost masculine in it's strength and
firmness, walked up and down the
lower aisle of the grand stand at
Latonia yesterday. Her lips were
tightly compressed, her naughty eyes
gazed over the heads of the crowd into
a thought world beyond, while her
hand, tightly clasping a silver field
glass holder, now and then tapped
the pretty ornament against the
knuckles of her other hand with a
force that brought the red blood to
her white fingers.
Soon a number of eyes were fastened
upon the mysterious woman, who
had selected so conspicuous a position
for her promenade. The latter paid
no attention, however, to the atten-
ton given her, and her thin lips
never lost their set appearance until
their owner was accosted by a man
whose good-natured face was shaded
by a silk title" of the most fashion
able manufacture.
you've been betting again. Marie?'
he asserted, rather than queired,
while a shade of displeasure drove
the smile from his lips.

"Ifl Marie, will you never learn the
Importance of that little word. How
much did you loser
"All had" she replied, slowly as,
with a redeemed face but never finch
ing eyes, she gazed into the stern face
of her husband.
What. all? Great heavens, woman,

ruin us! Remember Louisville and
Chicago, where you would go and

"Ah, Guy, that is just it. | can't

But you promised, Marie; you
promised. Can't trust your word as

"No-nol Not when | get on the

great, Guy; the betting fever comes
on me; it chills me and fires my blood

The strange pair whose conversation
had been heard by more than one, de-
parted, while a buzz of comment sue
ceeded their conversation.
THAT woman" said a Kentucky
horseman, who was sitting near by,
would have ruined her husband long
ago had he not been provided with a
princelY fortune to begin with. As it
is, she has crippled him slightly in a

vile, but are rarely at home except in
the winter. For years the woman has
been a prominent figure at all the
race courses in the country, travelling
the circuit throughout the summer
attended by her husband, always bet
ting and almost always losing. She's
crazy on betting, and it's only lately
that her good natured partner has
made any effort to restrain her gambl-
ing propensity. Although a loving
and faithful wife, this one weakness
of hers has made not only her own
but her husbands life miserable p

Hash.

say with all the censure heaped
upon it by an unappreciative public,
