HUSBANDS SOUEALED.

During the last few months card par
ties have become a very popular amuse-
mcnt in Vienna. AMI 1t is said that
many society ladies have lost good
deal more money at poker and other
games than they could well afford.
Their husbands demonstrated with
them, and certain eloquent divines Ia
bored hard TO convince them Of the err
ror of their ways, but all their efforts
were unavailing. and the ladies contln-
ucd to play as rccklessly as ever. a
few weeks ago the matter was brought
to the attention Of the police in letter
which Informed them that n young
count had lost a very large sum of
money while playing poker at club
frequcntcd by ladies. and as a result
stringent order was issued prohibiting
card playing in all clubs. Further
more, the chief of police invited some
very well known ladies to call on him,
and when they appeared he very po-
litely hut firmly informed them that
the authorities could not sanction such
high play as was carried on constantly
in their salons. The ladies Indignantly
denied that there was ever any gam
bling in their houses, but the chief re-
piled by showing them list of those
who were constant companions at the
card tables, as well as complete state
ment of the sums which had been lost
and won there during the last few
weeks. Utterly dumfounded, the ladies
returned home with one thought upper
most in their minds-that they would
not rest until they discovered who had
betrayed them. Consequently they
went to work with a will, and they
soon learned, much to their surprise
and chagrin, that it was their own
husbands who had requested the police
to put a stop to their fascinating games
