In Butte, Mont, there is a gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
Is the special feature of the manage
ment, and where all kinds Of women
play the good old game of faro, per-
fectly at home and without fear OF
interruption. The entrance Is from
an alley near Broadway, and the house
is luxuriously furnished. Carpets are
laid on the floors, softened lights
shine over the players, courteous at
tendants deal and shuttle the cards
and pay bets or take winnings with
out the slightest suggestion of the in
congruity Of the situation.
Here many fashionaDly gowned
women of Butte's elite como in par

etly venture silver or gold pieces
coined from copper by their husbands,
who busy themselves in Butte's con-
tinuous political war.
Women Of the business world keep
track of the game, and both dealer
and player usually maintain rigid
silence. Money is passed out for
chips with the simple word five" or
ten" and conversation is economized
to a minimum.

the return to ways primeyal. untI
year ago he lived in Portland, but
was compelled to seek a SUMMER
cline on account of his health. For
the last year he has lived on the sum-

house, nor even tent. The sole hab-
itation is about seven BY four feet and
two feet in depth. In that peculiar
place, wrapped in blankets, he seeks

of living he is able to commune more
