Plungers Welcomed at This Paradise Of
the Gambler on the Mediterranean Sea

Especial Correspondence.)

The American. Himan Thorne, who
was credited In the cable dispatches
with having won sl50,000 dollars in a
weeks stay at Monte Carlo, is only
one of a dozen players who have TAX
en- big sums from the famous gam
bling institution.
In fact, the house on the sunny
promontory Of Monaco has never been
so prosperous as now, and 1t could
probably spare ten times what Thorne
Is reputed to have taken, without quit
ting loser on the summers activity.
The multi-millionaire of the United
States away for his holiday on the
continent, finds Monte Carlo an irre-
sistible magnet. In the United States
a widespread prejudice against gam
bling compels the man of millions to
curb his tendencies. But once he
reaches the domain Of the Prince Of
Monaco he can let down the bars and
play to his hearts content for sum
as great as he likes. for 1t is one of the
laws of Monte Carlo that there is no

One of the next in magnitude was

Lace is to be a great deal worn upon
winter gowns, and even on street

ly unassailable fortress OF wealth by
the Tideless Sea. Ardisson spied out
the land a month or more before he
attempted operations and, clad in an
unassuming disguise. made a particu-
lar study Of the gaming tables and
the methods of play. He reached the
conclusion that roulette was unworthy
of his attention.
Trente-et-quarante gave him some
food for thought. 1t is played with
cards, 1t Is non-mechanical; the per-
sonal equation enters into it's prece-
dure and, finally, the stakes were
high. In this game Ardisson saw his
opening.
Carried Away Large Sum.
Vanishing from the neighborhood
of his blissfully ignorant victims, he
returned eventually. accompanied by
friend of his own sex and profes-
sion and a couple of beautiful and
well dressed women. The party
ranged themselves two on each side
of the trente-et-quarante board, and
while the croupier was shufflng the
cards preparatory to starting a fresh
set OF deals, the woman on one side
engaged the umpire in ingenious chat
asking explanations of how the
game was played. and so forth-while
she on the other requested umpire
No. to supply her with gold change
for banknote.
At the precise instant when the
croupier was ready to begin one Of
the women dropped 80 louis on the
floor, creating a most unseemly d.
version and attracting all eyes from
the cloth. Attendants gathered up
her gold, and the game proceeded.

Whichever way the quartet stake
went the party won. After eight
coups the party retired majestically,
carrying with them 100000 francs OF
the banks money. At the door of the
Casino a smart carriage awaited them
and in five minutes they were whirled
across the frontier.
The secret of Ardisson's staggering
success only became known when too
late. Horrlfed at the loss to the bank,

caused. the umpire ordered the cards

had been bribed TO insert a specially
shuffled slab of cards at a given sig
nal and the disturbance caused by the
fall of the woman's gold pieces had
drawn all eyes from the deed. Two
months Imprisonment was his sen.
tence, a period of discomfort he could
afford to disregard when weighed
against his personal profits.

New Wrinkle for a Muff.

A new wrinkle for a muff is to sew
a full rufe Of about three-inch ribbon
on to the ends of the muff. All stoles
and boas and ruches should be short
that is, just to cover the shoulders
and with fur tails or velvet loops as
finish at either end. These neck
arrangements give pretty finish to
any costume, and are rather becoming
sif properly worn.

Immense Rental Paid.

The rental of the great gambling
palace is a huge item of cost. Until
last year the Prince of Monaco forced
the Casino company to pay $250.000
a year, but in view of the increased
earnings, he has just given the price
another raise. and in the future the
institution will pay s35O,OOO for the
purpose of conducting the most noted
dollar exchange in the world,
