That the craze for gambling, instead OF
waning, is greatly on the increase;
that the amounts played for are being
constantly increased; that those who
cannot or will not play for money lind
that their society is not particularly

facts; while another arrafgnrnent,
equally serious, might be made against
this universal card playing on the
score of it's stulifying influence on the

creates false standards and develops
manners and ways which would have
shocked people a few years ago, but
which are now considered quite per-
INVISIBLE. Apropos of the latter effect,
some of the stories told are almost in
credible. A young American who went
out good deal in London last season.
and who certainly was we'll enough
known to be treated as a gentleman,
was asked by woman of position to
dine and play bridge. The stakes We're
much higher than he anticipated, and
as fortune was against him the amount
of money he had with him was soon
exhausted. He went on losing, and
when they stopped playing he owed
quite a considerable sum. 1 will send

Stone this resemblance is most dis

Miss Stone really has an agreeable

unwieldly person, and the Lacquer is
many pounds lighter. Once reporter

joke and told several absurd stories

ENGLISH WOMEN DOOMED TO

Queen Alexandra Announces Her Pref
erence for Millinery That Gives the
Widow an Advantage Over the Maid
Bonnet Is Unbecoming Unless
Tiny Affair.

TIE royal order for 'bonnets" at
Hollywood court" has thrown the mil
linery world into a small connection.
This fact, combined with Queen Alex
andra's previously well-known prefer
ence for this kind of headgear, makes
the revival of the bonnet more than
a possibility. It is indeed true that, as
rule, fashions do not usually come
from the north side of the English
channel, but it is an historical fact,
according to the Millinery Trace Re-
view, that such a thing has happened.
and a preference for small hats and
toques is already manifesting itself in
Paris.
Many women will be very unwilling
to wear bonnets, for while they are ex-
ceedingly becoming to some, the ma
jority of women would look their WORST
in a bonnet, inasmuch as it brazenly
reveals defects instead of concealing or
modifying them. An exception may
be made in the case of a snug widow
bonnet that serves as black dressing
to the eoiffure and more frequently than
otherwise is becoming setting for the
face.
And the perky little, opera bonnet is
a charming bit of millinery, since there
is nothing of it but flower and bow
of lace or a feather or two, all pretty
accessories for the head.
But the larger bonnet for street wear
is quite a different matter for most
women. And the bonnet with strings
that tie in stiff little bow under the
chin is the most violent form of this
style of headgear and usually turns
out despoiler of all chances of COM
pliment, for the woman who has the
temerity to put it on her head as part
