NEW YORK, May S0.-People are getting
tired of going TO the theater; they are tired
of going to teas, but they never seem to get
tired Of playing cards. II you want to see
lovely woman at her best, or her worst,
watch her at the card table. You will then
see how easy it is for her to be dishonest
| and how greedy she is. You will then see
what an immense amount Of che she has,
and how she will rush into a game about
which she KNOWS nothing, and of which she
declines to be taught anything. II you
have any prediction for whist, you have
undoubtedly met the young woman who is
$50 fond Of the game" but who will tell
you nine times out of ten that she really
has not played 1t very much. She COM
mences operations by strengthening out the
hand upon the table, making a pile of
spades, pile Of clubs, pile of hearts and
pile of diamonds, until from knowing your
own hand and making general guess about
the others, you are gretty certain as to what
she holds. After she has lost three tricks,
by throwing low cards where she should
have put high ones, she very vaguely asks:
~, what did you say was trumpsT Her
mind satisfied about this she proceeds
when she is the last player, and the deuce
OF trumps would have taken the trick, to
put on the king and then to say: II never
believed in sending a boy to do mans
errand."
PLAYING HEARTS WITH BLONDE.
don't blame you il you take to drink
don't blame you If you hate all womankind
but enjoy seeing you the next evening,
when you are to play hearts with a sweet
blonde woman in gown Of heavenly blue.
She says she has played the game several
times, and she's pretty sure she knows all
"Oughtn'b l to lead my highest
cards firstp You're charmed at hav-
ng such an intelligent partner.
but your eyes open a little wnen she leads
the ace of hearts, follows it up with a king,
then dances out the knave, and eventually
she has all thirteen hearts in her pile.
There's no use trying to teach this woman
to play hearts; you can never make her I'M
derstand that the policy of the game is to
get rid of them-no, indeed. She thinks
that she has achieved the most when she Is
gathering IN the ruby red cards and paying
out her chips.
PRETTY WOMAN AT POKER.
Another type of woman to be dreaded at
the card table Is the tender-hearted one.
She was at her best the other night when a
jackpot was to the fore, as it had been
opened for % cents. Everybody was in
it, and everybody was prepared to bet
pretty heavily, when the tender-hearted
lady said: Nov, children, I'm not going
to let you be cheated; there's no possi.
billy of anybody beating my hand, and
80 there's no use in my taking any more
of your money! The natural conclusion
was that she had royal flush. Had shel
When that marvellous hand, that was to
beat everybody, was laid down, it was a
straight jack high! The woman opposite
her held four aces, a man had a full hand.
queen high, and another one held four
treys. A madder party than this
you never saw in your life. And
the woman who held four aces
gave her friend piece of her mind. Said
she: when you don't know how 10 play a
game don't fool away the time and upset
the tempers of people who do, and when
you are playing cards don't get too tender
sion Of your family and for your sewing
society. don't care If you do cry; if you
don't know how to play the game you have
no business to make things uncomfortable
for other people, and if you want TO learn
you ought to be willing to endure disap-
pointments until you find ont the right
way. You've broken up the game;
feel as il / had been brute to
you, and yet think you are a consummate
idiot" Then they both cried, and the men
said they would go and have a game of bill
iards. And later in the evening, when
they came back, they found the two women
as friendly as possible, and on her way
home the one who had broken up the game
said to the men who formed her escort:
Kate is such dear thing You know she
has got quick way of speaking, but she
wouldn't do a mean thing to save her soulr'
And one of the men said: "By George
That's beautiful for one woman to say about
another" And the unlucky card PLAYER
answered: well, it's true, She speaks
her mind sometimes, but tonight / really
think I deserved it" And every man in
the party positively said: you certainly
did,
DARK OR LIGHT WOMEN?
The English newspapers have brought up
curious question for discussion. 1t is this:
I'm your experience have dark OF light
women been the most faithfuIp' Three
women sat down to discuss this the other
evening, oalQ NUMBER one, VINO happened to
be blonde, pretty and young: 81 have
| never found but three women who were alb
solutely faithful to me in my life, and they
were rather neutral in their coloring
| One had brown hair that wasn't
| quite dark, another had light hair that
wasn't quite blonde, and the third had gray
hair. The first one had been my friend
when we were children together, and the
friendship lasted absolutely until death did
US part. The second one was woman in
whose society I found pleasure, and the
third was my mother. On my visiting book
there are the names of hundreds of women.
If they were asked If they were my friends
they would say yes and yet tomorrow,
If l needed a woman friend, | should go to
the one who likes me because / am pleas
ant companion, or to my mother. But |
would much prefer to go to a man."
A woMAN'S ESSAY ON WOMAN.
Another woman, a woman with brown
hair and brown eyes, then gave her expert
! ence. She said: Il had curious education
! about women; girls were very scarce in our
family. and we were ali taught to tank
them Of great value. If you could do any
thing TO give pleasure to a woman, If you
could help her by pleasant words. by deeds
or in any way whatever, then it was more
than kindness to her, it was q courtesy to
yourself. That WIS the theory upon which
