LET THE WOMEN GAMBLE.

The following from the Meridian Sta
would suggest the idea that the edito
is not altogether ignorant of the value
of "bob-tail", and that he knows
fairly well how to estimate on the gen.
eral run of the cards:
| 1t is not good thing for members ot
! the legislature to consume the time o1
the house with such trivial measures as
that relating to the playing of cards by
/ ladies for prizes. Speaker Thomas very
properly ruled the measure out Of order,
but the proponent of it insisted that he
was going to present the same bill
| again.
Nothing could be more suggestive OF
| the petticoats of a man than this intru-
sion upon feminine doings. They have
an absolute right to play euchre for a
| little cherub on their mantleplece.
They have the right to win the trivial
concerns of their toilet that men have
nothing to do with. II they aspire to
crysanthemums tied with blue ribbons,
! and employ deft fingers, in card manip.
ulation, to WOO these things to them,
that is no masculine business. That's
their affair. not ours. The ladies have
the privileges, whether they have the
rights or not, and whether they gam
BILE for trivial or material things it does
not matter much. 1t is the various
ways of women, and the man who does
not anticipate this variableness is lost.
To forbid the ladies the indulgence
at their clubs-the sweet, simple indul-
geDce of playing games of cards for
trivial prize, would be to renounce the
In 81 tIA rly
We love the women gamblers because
this respect. Every time they bring
home china ornament for the mantle
piece, we put up our plea for absence
from the domestic heaarthstone. God
bless the women gamblers.
The strong fight that has been made
by Representative Foster, OF Warren,
to have his bill become a law is sug-
gestiYe Of one of two ideas; he is either
a crusty old scapegrace who does not
know enough about cards to be included
on the invitation list to the progressive
euchres of his home. or else has been
playing the losing game up at Jackson
and has soured on the card pastime.
We have never seen the morally
wrong side of a social game OF cards
nor little stronger than social game
especially when the ladies are in the
game, but the idea that he advocates
that card playing among women has
daeeaeEating effect is most amusing.
These card parties given by the ladies
are solely for amusement, and in order
to keep the drag out of the game and
hinder the discussion of the latest
neighborhood scandal and the newest
styles, the prizes are offered. and in
gambling for them the sport-for it is
nothing more-becomes public benefit
as well as extremely interesting. :
