Crusade Against Card Playing

A crusade against card playing
among women has been inaugurated
by Gov. Stanley, E. w. Howe, editor of
the Atichison Globe, and Will White,

even hints that many women play
cards and neglect their homes to such
an extent that their own boys soon
find their way to a reform school.

arose as to whether it would be better
to sell to the dealers in the various
