Elderly Ladies Live on Faith, Hope
 and Charity at the Gaming Table.

From the London Daily Mail.
 ''When I aflghted at Monte Carlo the other day." writes "H. s. S. H." T was surprised to find the Hotel de Paris om- nibus waiting at the station, and several outside porters from other hotels, which opened their doors for 10f. per diem en pension. Except for the employees of the Casino the place seemed to be deserted in the early morning. The gardeners were working In the beautiful gardens. ana workmen were mending and painting some of the figures on the dome.
 "The rooms opened usual at 10, and the three roulette tables were quickly surrounded. I watched the players and saw only one English face-a young gii |. who had lost all her color. She had come out last winter with an invalid lady At first she won largely and handled thousands of francs; then gradually los, her all, and now lived in a small apart ment, often having to go without meal Her only friend left was the manager of the Mont de Piete who was taking care of her jewels and all that she once possessed.
 There seemed to many more women there than men; chiefly elderly ladies' who live on Faith. Hope and Charity. The rooms were delightfully."- cool and much more comfortable than in the season. The sea seemed to look bluer than ever and the water so clear"

Tom Karl in Retirement.
''The Meadows.

J. C. Brocolini in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Were you ever at Innisfail? If you have toured Ireland you will say Certainly" and probably begin to descant on the beauties of the lakes of Killarney and get up proper enthusiasm over your kiss ing of the Blarney stone and the exil- arating properties of distilled dew to be found, if you know how to search 1t, un- def,led by the government stamp. Well, l don't mean that little island of the Kill larney lakes, but Innisfail on the island of Martha's Vineyard, one of the beauty spots of old Massachusetts and the sum- mer home of Tom Karl, the famous tenor of Italian and English opera, and better known to Eagle readers of .he past twen ty years as the leading tenor of the Bos- ton Ideals, and later of the Bostonians, two successful operatic organizations that made fortunes for the proprietors.
 l had not seen Tom Karl for a dozen years or more, and was surprised to find robust, powerful looking man, Drowned by the sun and out-of-door work among his flowers and birds, of which he Is ex- tremely proud. He Is 6 feet tall and his breadth of shoulders and his 200 pounds avordupois are more suggestive of retired farmer than of a romantic tenor but the bright, sparkling gray eyes. the winning smile, the hearty, inspiring laugh the graceful boise and movements. the clear diction and enunciation of perfect English in the quiet manner for which he was so well known, are those of the same Tom Karl, bachelor, gentleman and ar tist whose voice Is as clear and ring ing today as 1t was 20 years ago, when 1t set the hearts of susceptible American maidens pumping in their bosoms.

Dinner In the Dark.

From rid Bits.
 In France and Switzerland the latest vogue is to dine in the dark. Dinner begins as usual but suddenly to the sur prise of the guests, the light goes out and all is left in darkness. Nothing has gone wrong, and before the guests have recovered from their astonishment the dining room doors open, and shadowy forms steal In bearing a blazing mass of light. It Is the next course illuminated. Silently the figures come to your side and in a few moments on everyone's 8 plate, is say. your fish. and a delicately shaded light by which to eat it, but oth- erwise the room remains in complete darkness

great deal more than Nhen first came"
 Mind you, my dear Charlotte, she is almost as young a woman as you and with your prettiness, and yet she has had a year of this sort of thing.
 You have always confessed yourself indifferent about what other people call the real things of life. l came upon little scene on a late afternon ramble that made me think of the conversations that you and l have had of life.
 We both look at life quite differently. and when certain things recall your cleY- erness m dismissing the things that do not interest you, l do not think of your appreciation but rather of your indiffer- enee, of how very lar you are above some things, or of how far they are above you. I am never quite satisfied on this roint.
 This other woman is still young and must have been very pretty when she was a girl. Her cabin stood against a cornffeld and both she and her little bars house were the only things 10 be seen in the landscape. She had lived there ever since her marriage, and her entire ap pearance her way of speaxing-but what l want to write you about is her gar den. There was not an inch of ground In front of her little bare house where she had not planted a flower. She was stand ing against a rew of tall, white and Dur- pie China asters. Each of the asters was a single, straight brilliant little row of lady slippers and then a dignified row of pink asters Quite far back and quite to themselves was a row of bachelor but tons The pinks bloomed right up to the door. I supposed she had planted asters and lady slippers and bachelor buttons as long as her seed held out, and what I thought was so wonderful was that every blessed one of them came up. She put them in the ground in May and she had been enjoying the resurrection all through August The woman who sees only the orchld-side of life does not know how the woman looks at it from across a row of asters and pinks and I could not help from contrasting the two views, because I know how you scorn asters and pinlls and always order orchids.
 No. am net attempting to change your ideas. You formed them long ago. or. rather they have formed you. It Is not your faults4hat you are an exotic.
 Faithfully yours
 A. K. W.
 'The Meadows"
