Women and Cards.

It seems that the passion for card playing among Jewish women is not O: recent date. More than a century ago Miss Rebecca Franks wrote:
 "The ladies of Philadelphia have more cleverness in the turn of an eye than those of New York have in their whole composition. With what ease have I seen Chew, a Penn, an Os wa]d or an Allen and a thousand oth. CTS entertain large circle of both sexes. the conversation without the aid of cards never Tagging nor seem ing in the least strained or stupid Here in New York you enter a room with formal set courtesy, and after the how-dos things are finished. All is dead calm until the cards are intro duced, when you see pleasure dancing iI the eyes of all the matrons, and they seem to gain new life"-Hebrev Standard

Phases of the National Game.

There are two sides to almost any. thing, and the national game is far from being an exception. From the standpoint of the baseball enthusiast 'our town has club in the league. From the standpoint of the profession al player the league has club in each city In the heart of the baseball pa triot our club is band of heroes, going out to conquer other cities and uphold our honor. In the mind of the mar with soul so dead they are stock com panies-properly financed. To the ex- cited partisans at q game each player is an earnest contestant for his side. To the man who is from foreign parts 1t would be an important fact that they are hired men, employees with salaries set by companies that all be- long to the same corporation, and that they get their pay for playing and not for winning. To the public it is 1" game. To the president of the con- pany it may be a good or bad per formance. ."-Century.
