HOW ONE WOMAN PLAYS PokEI


a BIT Of an Error That Caused Party to
Break Up ia . Spat.
A type of woman to be dreaded at the
card table u the tender-hearted one,
says the Brooklyn Standard Union. She
was at her best the other night when .
jackpot was to the fore and it had been
opened for twenty-five cents. Every
body was in it and everybody was pre-
pared to bet pretty heavily, when the
tender-hearted lady said: ''Now, chill
dren, I'm not going to let you get cheat
ed; there's no possibility of anybody
beating my hand, and SO there's no use
in my taking any more of your money"
The natural conclusion was that she
had royal flush- Had she? When that
marvellous hand that was to beat every
body was laid down it was a straight.
jack hight The woman opposite her
held four aces. a man had full hand,
queen high, and another held four trays.
A madden party than this younever saw
in your life. And the woman who held
four aces gave her friend piece Of her
mind. Said she:
''Whcn you don't know how to play .
game don't fool away the time and up
set the tempers of people who do, and
when you are playing cards don't get
too tender-hearted Keep that sort of
feeling for the seclusion of your family
and for your sewing society. ! don't
care if You do cry; II you don't know
how to play the game you have no bust
ness to make things uncomfortable for
other people, and, if you want to learn,
then you ought to be willing to endure
Disappointment until you find out the
right way. You've broken up the game;
you've made everybody feel miserable;
feel as If 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 game Of
billiards 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 quick way Of speaking, but
she wouldn't do mean tl5ng to save
her soulI"
And one of the men said: by Georgei
that's beautiful for one woman to say
about another"
And the unlucly card player an
swered: "Well. it's true. She speaks
her mind sometimes, but tonight l
really think deserved it."
And every man in the party poaiP
tively said: ''You certainly did"
