acted as banker for her losses; and the
 banker gives his check to each win
 ner. It may awaken some surprise tc rural districts to know that the win
 nings and losses of individual players
 run from s2,000 to $1000o at a sitting. Te
 lose gracefully, to pay. graciously is
 now the art that is aimed at by all the
 grand danes.
 1 Gambling for high stakes is not new. | It is now more openly done, that is all. | Hitherto it has ben confined to small
 and exclusive circles or to great coun- 1 try houses. There has been difference | paid to public opinion; to-day the pub | lie has no business with the affairs of ! the rich. Once gay and fashionable so- cety was composed of the rich, who en-
 tertained, and the poor, or moderately we'll off, who held an assured position by reason of birth, ancestry, or social connection. To-day 1t is made up of the rich. All the others have been knocked off as barnacles Hence the difference that has come in making play private or public. Poker, baccarat and roulette | have been the fashion.
 In all the large country houses there
 is one room set apart and furnished
 with all the furniture of awell equipped
 and fashionable gambling house. It con
 tains faro layout, ar oulette wheel, a
 baccarat table, several card tables, an
 abundance of ivory checks, a writing
 desk and drafts on banks for the use
 of unsuccessful players. The stories
 told of winnings and losses at these country houses are startling to say the
 least.
 When gambling becomes fashionable it is not surprising that soldiers of for- tune multiply. They are not all males The most skillful player and the most fortunate is a very beautiful young di- vorcee whose only income is a rather meager alimony. The record shows it to be $3000 per annum, and yet her ex penses must exceed $1O,000 She never allows play at her home She visits a. good deal and won last autumn over s40,O 900 at Hampstead. Of course this lady plays because she needs excite ment" but if she becomes excited she suppresses 1t wonderfully well. Nat urally enough she has not many equals, yet she is but one of a large class. It is not to be wondered at that high play and much play is indulged in because the prevailing sentiment and thought of the rich people is money, money, money. Indeed, society is money mad.
 The craze is not new to the mil- lionaires or to, the fashionable. In Queen Anne's time the nobility of Eng land did little else during the long and stupid reign of George H. and the gay regency of George ", the young men of England lost fortunes on dice. Those were the days when the mercantile ! wealth of England was making a new crop of millionaires and speculation in lotteries and stocks made men rich over night. Anglo Saxons are natural gam i,lers. It is in their blood. It can be { traced to the medieval German days as described by Gibbon when drunken F Teutons staked their wives at play It | nas come out in the transplanted stock on this side of the Atlantic and our pest society has become a class of Ia- oitual gamblers.

SUNsHINE SOCIETY.

~-----~--~
 Splendid Address by President General
 Mrs. Alden
 In Warner hall last night was held a splendid general meeting of the Inter national Sunshine society. The meeting was very largely attended and the president general, Mrs Cynthia West oner Alden of New York city, gave a most helpful address. She spoke at some length and told of the nature and purposes of the society in a most irn- pressive manner. Her talk, although over an hours duration, thoroughly en- tertained and edified her auditors as to the excellent work being accomplished by the organization.
 She congratulated the local society on heinz the second largest in the state which has over seventy branches Hart ford being the largest exceeding the membership of the New Haven branch by only a few members. The entire ad- dress was full of interesting examples of the work which has been accom- plished and which emphasized the mot to, or rather the watchword of the so- eiety, Do something for somebody, quick She spoke of sunshine prayer meetings, where all who came were ask cd to contribute oranges, and in one held in Brooklyn @ short time since over eight hundred oranges were do mated, and these were distributed to sick persons in the knowledge of mem bers and the remainder sent to worthy charitable homes. Sunshine services were also spoken of and they were made so bright by various means that hundreds were turned away. Mrs. Alden especially emphasized the need of doing sunshine charity work near at home. Think of those near at hand be- fore you send way across the city to some deserving person. Be sure that all around you are fully supplied with the necessities of life. and such little

luxuries as will make them cheerful and comfortable when they are sick before you think of others who are far remov- ed from your neighborhood. Each one doing this, looking carefully after the needs of those in their own community, will soon bring sunshine into many homes and make everybody happy. Regarding the national society she
 said that the officers do not receive any
 pay for the work which they do, but
 give all their services, and that the
 work os the head office is carried on
 with as little eYpense as possible, What money is expended is raised by what
 are known as internaticn day meet
 ings, a which each branch is expected
 to contribute at least one dollar and in this way, there being over 2,00O branches, d nice sum is realized. There are many branches which, of course, contribute more than one dollar be- cause no branch contains less than ten members and in consequence the sum raised is more than $3,000.
 May 29 has been designated as the next international day, and there will be meeting in the Waldorf Astoria on IHdt udyp tolilHlGIlClIS at J U CLOCK III the morning, and nothing will be done excert talk of the work of the society until s o'clock that night
 This society has no creed, no denomi- nation no religion; all peoples working together in harmony for the dissem- mating of sunshine. It is the purpose of tte society to let their lights so shine that they may bring some one out of their distress. A silver collection was taken up.

GAMBLING IN SOCIETY.

Remarks Called Forth by Mrs Patrick
 Campbells Winnings at Game of | Bridge Whist.
 Whether Mrs, Patrick Campbell won
 $32 O0o from her society friends" or whether she did not, is a matter so es- sentially personal that to the public at | large it is of little consequence. But when the report went abroad, indus triously set forth by her enterprising press agent that the winnings were made at bridge whist the players of bridge" pricked up their ears. It was not the winning of a tidy sum" as Mrs. Campbell put it. but that she was an adept at the game that charmed the devotees of this popular and fashion- able evening amusement. Society peo- pie are pleased when they know that their vices and virtues have imitators behind the footlights It is strange yet true,
 Bridge whist has become fashion able dissipation. At all the large balls this season rooms have been set apart for the use of players. Matrons who have lost their slender. willowy figures in healthy but unpoetic curves of ample dimensions soon grow weary of sitting about ball rooms watching their daugh- ters dance away the hours between midnight and 3 in the morning. And mighty they are to be seen with fat necks smeared with diamonds seated at the card tables absorbed in the game
 This is the golden era. It Is no long CT vulgar or bad form to parade ones wealth either by the extravaganza of living or by mysterious suggestions anent the stock market and bridge whist affords new outlet for display Each lady carries a check with her, and at the end of the play she gives her check to the gentleman or lady who has
