WOMEN GAMBLERS

herself by her gambling, and would have
thrown her sisters fortune away as well If
some of her friends had not interviewed and
separated them.
Mrs. Give the actress was also much addicted
to gaming, and always showed her anger when
she lost. On one occasion she was at
a card party given by four elderly London
women, who were Familiarity known Mantle,
Spadille, Basto, and Pinpto, names drawn
from a fashionable card game of the time
with which they were deeply infatuated. Her
opponent, a white haired old woman, was
playing in luck that evening and sweeping
everything before her Mrs. Give waiting
patiently for change of luck, until toward
the end of the game when unusually large
stakes were on the table the gray haired
dame won them by displaying two black
aces. Two black aceslf screamed the &C
tress in rage. Here, take your money!
eyes instead!'
With gambling going on to such an extent
as this among the women of the nobility, 1t
may be supposed that the feminine members
of the royal family not undefed by
the pitch. Indeed, the Princess Amelia was
as much infatuated with cards as anyone
of her noble friends. We are assured that
she often played lanterloo, loo" She
told Lady Mary Coke in 1868 that on account
of her losses, which had amounted to more
than five hundred pounds that year, she
was determined never to play for higher
stakes than shilling in the future. But her
good resolution was broken, and within six
years she frequently to be seen playing
for half guinea.

Beginning of Faro

TT was about this time that faro was first in
troduced. Although it was played solely for
the stakes, it rapidly gained wide popularity
in social circles, Many of the social leaders,
soon learning that it is an advantage in this
game to hold the bank, began to follow the
example of the Duchess of Cumberland and
establish banks at their homes. This new
departure, which carried gambling among
women about as far as it could go, soon brought
down the arm of the law. Several of the
women gamblers were arrested, and Lady
buckingham, Lady Elizabeth Luttrel, Lady
unt-Edgecumbe, and Lady Archer were
convicted of keeping illegal gaming tables and
were fined fifty pounds each. 1t was this trial
that gave Artist Gillray the opportunity to
carlcature three of them as "Faro's Daugh-
tiers: The scandal did not stop here, however,
for Lady Luttrel not long afterward found her
self plunged into new difficulties. She was
accused of being "dexterous with the cards, -
and was obliged to set out at once on tour
of Europe
The alarming degree to which gambling
among women had descended at this time
may be learned from an extract from "The
London Times" of April 90, 1903, which
says that, The faro banks are losing money
every night, and the ladies understand the
game so well, and play SO keen, that it re-
qulres the eye of an argus to discover all
their tricks"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-10-14

every night. If this goes on l shall soon be on
the debtors side of Mrs. Crewes book. l am
the more provoked at my i'll fortune, as l was
in hopes this little card purse of mine would
have been particularly useful at this time. 1t
is the abominable whist they make me play.
l lost twenty guineas last night and fifteen the
night before"
Not all the women, however, were thus dis
turbed by the social necessity of gambling
Indeed, it was no unusual sight to see them,
after having lost all their ready money, pledge
their jewels, their costly hand made lace hand
kerchiefs and caps, and even drafts upon the
London bankers. Goldsmith in his Citizen
of the World" tells of an old woman who,
to relieve the ennui that oppressed her on
her death bed challenged the curate of the
parish to game of cards. After having won
all his money, she proposed that the stake for
the continuance of the game should be her
funeral expenses. The curate yielded to her
wish, but unfortunately the lady expired just
as she had taken her deal"
A more authenticated example of the
lengths to which the passion for gambling
drove the women of that time is that of
Lady Elizabeth Stuart, Who at the age of
eightytwo, one year before her DEATH lost
four hundred and fifty pounds in one night
at cards
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-10-14

TT has come to be common charge nowadays
/ that the passion for gambling is rapidly
growing among the women of the highest
social circles. Newspaper stories of scandals
at bridge and whist have become numerous,
and many clergyrnen have openly denounced
the evil from the pulpit and in the press. 1t
is only a few months since a well known
pastor of Springfield Massachusetts,, intro
duced a resolution at a religious convention
condemning the prevalence of the vice and
alleging that many citizens had been driven
into bankruptcy by the gambling debts of
their wives.
Whatever truth there may be in the asser-
tons, it may well be doubted whether the evil
has attained anything like the proportions it
did a century or two ago among the women of the
privileged classes of Europe. During the reign
of Louis XIV. the French women were the
greatest gamblers in the world. Night after
night throughout the year gray haired ma
irons and even young girls sat at the tables in
the magnificent salons of Paris and played
away enormous fortunes at their favorite game
of Hoca.' So rapidly did the passion spread
that the Government obliged to pass a
law forbidding the game but an exception was
made in favor of Versailles, and there the
Queen and her court continued to play for
large stakes

eighteenth century, and which was consid-
cred as peculiarly adapted to the fair and
softer sex" In one of the numbers of The
Rambler" there appeared letter from
female correspondent in which she declared
that she had been bored by whist, but that
dear, delightful brag came into fashion,
and has ever since been the joy of my life;
interesting reference to this game is found
among the letters of Horace Walpole, who
in 1880, when. the London populace was
considerably agitated by the shock of an
earthquake, wrote to friend, asking him
what he would think of Lady Catherine
Pelham, Lady Francis Arundel and Lady
Galway who go this evening to an inn ten
miles out of town, where they are to play
at brag until five in the morning, and
then come back, l suppose, to look for the
bones of their husbands and friends under
the rubbish

A Suave Cardinal

THERE is an interesting extract from the
L diary of Lady Mary Coke, recorded in 1878
while she was a visit to Vienna, where she
played with a Cardinal and the Princess
Lobkowitz:
Il quite angry with the luck of the
Cardinal; he won Of the Princess and me a
hundred and forty fish. l did everything in
the world to change his luck-overturned his
box, placed the pool at different side of the
tabe-at all of which he did nothing but laugh,
and his luck continued till the last mo-
ment. He prayed and ate his supper dur
ing the party. When the clock struck eight he

Montaigne as Gambler

MONTAIGNE, the early French essayist,
ANA tells that he quit gambling because when
ever he lost. however complacent a counte-
nance he might put upon it, he always felt
anger and malice burning in his breast. Like
him great many men can conceal their feelings
when they lose, but it is seldom with women.
Though they may stubbornly continue to pile
up the stakes, their chagrin and anger at losing
ton, an elderly maiden of the eighteenth cen
fury, often played with the tears streaming
down her checks; not for the loss itself, y
she used to explain, "but for the unkindness
of the cards"
The daughter of the prime minister of that
period, Miss Pelham, was of the most
notorious gamblers of the age, and always
wept bitterly when she lost. She was described
by the court gossip, Horace Walpole, in one of
his letters as, Poor Miss Pelham! Sitting up
all night at the club without woman, losing
hundreds night and her temper, beating
her head?' Miss Pelham absolutely ruined

Caused the Revolution

DURING the next reign gambling among
- women suffered no diminution, and indeed
it may be said to have been one of the con-
tributory causes of the French Revolution.
Hoca passed out of favor and lansquenet took
its place On one occasion when the Due de
Barry, he lost more than one hundred thousand
dollars to her in few moments, to the great
qualification of Louis XIV, who was present at
the time.
From France gambling in polite society
passed into England, and in that kingdom
during the eighteenth century the woman who
showed any unwiingness to join in a game of
chance ran the risk of being ostracized. Such
was the predicament of Lady Cowper who
after the death of Queen Anne was one of the
women of the bed chamber to the Princess of
Wales. She was obliged to join in all the
games played at the court, having received a
hint from the vice chamberlain that one of
