ADJUSTMENTS.

Next week the play of 1.-THE Pay
master" a new and charming dram
attic work, will be given at the Acad-
envy Of Music. According to critics
elsewhere its theme is pure and
wholesome, and worthy of praise.
The story of 1.-THE Paymaster" is that
he and the colonel of the Twenty
Third Regiment of Her Majesty's
army aspire to the hand Of one Ethel
Miley. The latter seeing that the
Paymaster is leading him in the race,
secretly robs him of a large sum of
money which is held to pay off the
troops, and then nearly succeeds in
fastening the crime on the unlucky
Paymaster. In the end, of course,
the true author of the crime is ex-
posed, and all ends happily. Incident
ally, there is a thrilling escape from
prison, an attempted murder of the
heroine, many amusing scenes of bar
rack life, and some very tender cpl
odes, in which old and attractive SER
wants of the Paymaster and his father
show their fealty and s~elf-sacrifice.

WOMEN WHO PLAY POKER
Gambling Carried ON in the Houses
of English Society Women.

The gambling carried on in private
houses in London has been quite as
pernicious in its effects as that at the
soidisant clubs devoted to baccarat.
When the game of poker was first in
troduced into this country, about ten
years ago, it took an immediate hold
of a certain set of ladies in London
who, up to that period. had been con-
tent to play whist every afternoon Tor
stakes which, although not partlcu-
larly low, we're well within their
means.
Poker, however, changed all this.
The stakes were gradually increased:
Flats" who were not well acquainted
with the game were eagerly sought
for and invited to peoples houses at a
moments notice. Needless to say
very large sums changed hands.
Ladies whose faces are well known on
the Heath at Newmarket, or the
Lawn at Goodward, and in the Royal
Enclosure at Ascot, opened wide their
doors to let in Tom, Dick and Harry,
and often the wives of Tom, Dick and
Harry, provided they would play
poker, and were not too well versed
in the art of .blufing' and seeing
bluffs. When once the novices had
acquired experience and a general
knowledge of the game, the invita-
tions became less frequent, and he or
she, in poker parlance, really sat too
tight" and had to be replaced by a
more innocent victim.
Through several seasons the poker
fever ragged. On bright summer after
moons the blinds would be drawn,
lamps lit, and the game, which began
about four o'clock, would only cease
just in time to enable its yotaries to
dress for dinner. Immediately after
dinner the same set would meet again,
the winners eager to win more, the
losers desperate to .'get home" 1t
was not always easy to find men for
these entertainments, but still the
ladies played on amongst themselves.
They were for the most part women
sufficiently wealthysto afford to lose a
hundred or a hundred and fifty
pounds at a sitting, and it mattered
not to them that their homes gained
such sobriquets as 1.-THE hag's hell, " so
long as they could sit all day with five
cards in their hands and sstraddle the
Blind or risk their last five-pound
note on a Jackpot These patrician
ladies had all the American slang of
the game at their fingers end.
1t was such a delightful sensation
for them, far better than racing, be-
cause it lasted SO much longer and
was less fatiguing. They gave excel
lent dinners and excellent
and everything was done to attract
the novice and extract his money.
Unfortunately poker is a one-sided
game. The money all passes into one
channel. There were a few people
who always won, while there we're a
great many who always lost. Gradu-
ally the ladies quarrelled amongst
themselves. The meetings became
less frequent. Some of the players
we're ruined, and the others returned
to the e.-Erom Women.

Economy in the matter of dress lies
more in taking care of what clothes
you have than in having fewer or in
spending less on them. In order to
practice this economy have in your
room a clothes brush, a whisk broom
and q small camels hair brush; also
have handy a bottle of ammonia, one
of benZine and a small sponge for APP
plying either of them. Then never
hang a dress away with a spot on
it. Ii the missing buttons can

A Rare Love Letter.

q Ashfc 1OfO
In the Life of Harriet Beecher
Stowe,n by her son, is given a love
letter of Prof. Calvin E. Stowe to his
wife, written before "Uncle Toms
Cabin was given to the world. 1t is
interesting, therefore, as being pro-
phetic of her power and fame; but
still more so as a picture of womanly
character which should be framed
and placed conspicuousiy in every
household, as the Vicar OF Wakefield
kept his epitaph of his wife in her
sight to remind her of what she ought
to be.
This love letter would be valuable
in teaching the wife to cultivate every
noble, and to repress every lgnoble,
trait: the husband to recognize and
appreciate all her true excellence, and
the young persons of the family to
seek not only the unfolding of special
gifts and graces, bnt that balance and
harmony which wins and preserves
real affection.
my dear, you must be a literary
woman. 1t is so written in the book
of fate. Make all your calculations
accordingly. Get a good stock of
health and brush up your mind.
Drop the E cut of your name. Itonly
encumbers it and interferes with the
flow and euphony.
Write yourself fully and always
Harriet Beecher Stowe. which is a
name euphonious, flowing and full of
meaning. Then, my word for it,
your husband will lift up his head in
the gate, and your children will rise
