gambling hell, Monte Carlo.
She plays, says the writer, "feverishly
and loses at times large sums. However
great they are she has no care but keeps 1t
the play Indifferent to everything except
the rolling gold ON the table" People
used to say that the fair Christine's one
love was gold. She exhibits the same ten
dency in her gambling but is buoyed up
with the hope Of winning fabulous sums.
The letter further says that Nilsson has
undergone remarkable change. She 10
