SOCIE7I'S CRAZE Is CARDS, FOR
Big MONEY OR RICH PRIZES.
Whist and Poker Are Leading Favorites--Even the
Children Have Taken Up the Fad, Though They
Don't AS Yet Handle Actual Cash.

Just now the absorbing question to
people who like to interest themselves
in other peoples concerns, is whether
gambling is not becoming a fashion
able craze among women. Not to play
cards and not to play well is serious
detriment to any socially ambitious
young or old woman.
In olden times there was supposed to
be something touching about old people
playing whist Now old people play
whist, but young people play also, and
not only for the fun of the game, for
if the truth were told, lot of money
changes hands at the most staid whist
evenings. Whist is ostensibly the fash
ionable game, and many women earn
a comfortable, if precarious, livelihood
by instructing others in tie '1tricacies
of the game. Exclusive VIII st clubs
are formed, while whist mornings and
whist afternoons take up lot of time.
Oddly enough, it is the wives of law
yers and professional men generally
who go in for whist, and the best play

ers are the wives of the lawyers; they
play with their husbands between
while, but all the time keep up good
practice game with women who belong
to their club.
A regular whist morning means seri-
Gus work. No light and easy talking
is allowed; in fact, no conversation of
any kind until the games are finished
and luncheon is served, and then the
luncheon removes all barriers and con-
versation is general. Whist afternoons
end with O'Clock tea Whist even
ings, when men are included, wind up
With an elaborate supper, bur that is
in Difference to the wishes OF the other
sex. The whist classes are composed
of women of all ages, who take their
instruction alphabetically. even fiercely
at times, and one course is supposed to
be half a dozen lessons. not anything
like enough to learn the game, of
course, so that the term must extend

flannel, fastened tight underneath the
table to prevent its slipping. The
guests then take their places at the
different tables. and game OF seven
handed euchre at once begins.
There is no money played for. but the
prizes are always well worth the after
Moons work. At one tine it was con-
sidered enough to have three prizes,
first, second and third. Now there
must not be less than six, and each Of
the six something worth having. That
the spirit of gambling prevails there
is no question to any one who has been
present at one OF these games, for the
rivalry in competition is so high that
it is no unusual thing for exceedingly
bitter feeling to be displayed openly.
Travelling clocks. heavy silver frames,
silver vases and even articles Of jew
elry are among the prizes. and 1t would
not be well for any hostess TO offer
her guests prizes that cost less than 81

their charms. He knows little or
nothing of English, which he will
study while here. His young brother,
who has been with the father in this
country for some time, can interpret
rapidly, though he is but twelve years
old.
Senator Mark Hanna, not satisfied
to merely fill the seat occupied by Cal
vim Brice in the Senate, has just leased
the famous Corcoran house lately the
home of the Brices. This is the most
picturesque of down town official
homes, and the influential Ohio Sena-
tors renting thereof has aroused the
greatest expectations. Senator Han
mas colleague, Senator Foraker, is anX-
iously awaiting the completion of a
new 100000 mansion at Sixteenth and
streets. General and Mrs Miles will
entertain during the coming season i'll
the N street mansion formerly occupied
by Mr. Marklev and originally built
by Admiral Radford.
The question as to first calls is one
which has been bothersome to official
society here for some seasons, and one
which should be settled definitely by
some official action, to prevent future
complications.
The most annoying complications are
liable to occur in the cases of the sew
eral new ambassadors expected in the
coming season. 1t would seem that Of
fetal society is not sufficiently accus-
toned to these high foreign function
aries to agree upon a uniform code
Of etiquette concerning their treat
ment. Ambassadors always claim that
they should be expected to make first
calls upon no one except the President.
Many officials contend that this is not
reasonable. The Vice Presidents wife
has hitherto been expected to return
no calls save in the Senate circle. of
which her husband by virtue of his Of
fee is head. Yet the new ambassadors
wees will contend that Mrs. Hobart
should make first calls upon them and

Poker is the great game In society. all

Poker is not an afternoon game. aIAouf
there is no doubt it is played instead "a
the seven-handed euchrs at many OF thu
luncheons. but it is unquestiOnably tbs
game of all others that the smart set in-f
dulge in after dinner. Ten-cent ante and;
25-cent limit is the supposed limit Played
for, but the side bets that are made htNa3
no limit and poor people had better khsU
out of the game altogether. There aro}
some dinner Invitations in New York that}
are declined on account of the expensesen.l
tailed for as one woman says. When n
lose $50 in one evening can't help count-l
ing it as an expensive dinner" AS a rule
the women play well and are square ahpu<l
paying up, but they have not yet iearhedi
to win or lose with eauanimity. And att
a dinner the other night one wurnan wnoi
had lest heavily burst into tears and opan-i
ly accused another woman who was preset
ent of cheating Such scenes as this
though, do not occur once in a season. tori
as has been said before, people who can-1
not afford to lose simply stay away. Rpu-1

as poker, but still find favor in n1auy,a

cards. Another woman says she had to1
stop in town all last summer in order to

the moral of this is don't bet unless you'ral
certain you have a good hand.
CHILDREN IN 1T, TOO.
The children of the smart set also havess
the card craze, and at the age OF 10 ands13,,
find card parties delightful amusemept.
Blind mans bun, postofsice, copenhagan3
and puss in the corner are absolutely obt3

games and while no money is involvoa.i
the prizes must be numerous and as ooat-l
ly as possible otherwise the children dol
not care TO play Just when this crazsxcf!
social life win reach a climax Is hard toI
say. From present indications this wtn-l
ter is TO be gay. so far as cards are oQp-i
cerned, and already the card clubs thAei
are such feature OF the Lenten seas41
are being organized, for cards and Eelftj
are inseparably connected. The prizesI
given at these card clubs are remarkably
in value, and II is not thought too muchd
to spend for prizes for one evening SEQ orr
$500 SO II is hardly to be wondered an
that considerable time is given to learn>l

10th and X streets, will vie with
the Hays socially. Mrs. Alger has
gained reputation for her cordial and
gracious manner She is extremely
young of here age. Her home is
adorned with rare works of art, some
of them from the old masters.
Mrs. Long, wife of the Secretary Of
the Navy, finds it difficult a matter
to remain in Washington long at a
time and to break old ties at her Mas
sachussetts home. Although the
Longs have means, culture and agree
able presence, their private pursuits
all appear to be of a more serious
character than those of the average
society-goer here. One daughter is
Studying medicine at John Hopkins
while the other remains most Of her
time with her father.
Mrs. Gage, who before marrying the
Secretary was the widow of his
brother, will endeavor this winter to
make her home here as famous cen
ter for cordial hospitality as her Chi
cago mansion. Her winter receptions
will be held in the large marble home
built in X St., by Smith.
The Acknowledgement and Mrs.
Griggs, who lived at the Arlington
last season, have taken a home near
that of the Cages. Mrs. Griggs is
handsome and stylish.
Mrs. Bliss, like Mrs. Long, spends
little of her time in Washington. Miss
Bliss, however, is fond of the Wash
ington season and will remain for a
great part Of it with her father at the
Arlington. Should the Blisses take a
house, as it is hoped, they will be sur
passed by no one as to entertainment.
They are members Of the New York
400" and are what are known in the
Metropolis as "solid people"
The Postmaster General and Mrs.
Smith will profit this season by the
superior knowledge Of entertainment
which Mr.. Smith gained while minis.
ter to Russia's extravagant court. Miss
