Gambling Bane Of English Women
Declares the Countess of Meath

LONDON, Sept 5.-The Countess Of
Meath, who devotes herself 90 benevo-
lent sociological work declares that the
gulf between the rich and poor is grow
ing wider in England. She thinks that
the sense OF duty is diminishing in Eng
land, and that too many English women
.of all classes are addicted TO gambling.
IN discussing the question whether the
English are losing their sense of duty.
the countess writes
we live our own little lives and have
our own small experiences. Opinions al
ways viii differ, but facts speak for
themselves. In order 10 arrive at the
truth as 10 whether the sense of duty
has declined among us or otherwise,
it might be well TO know:
''First-Is it or is it not the case that
there is a still wider gulf between the
lives OF the rich and poor than formerly?
Seconds il or is it not the case
that our birth rate has been rapidly
declining, that young people viii not
marry on similar incomes to those earn
ed By their fathers and mothers-not
only because the cost OF living has be-
come dearer. but principally because the
present generation requires an amount
of luxury utterly undreamt OF by those
who have gone before us?
Thirds it or is 81 not the case that
thee modern youth and young girl will
not do the hard work and fill the hard
posts which those who are dead and
gone cheerfully did and cheerfully oc-
cuDied?
"Fourth-Is it or is it not the case

specialists, have numbers of patients on
their hands who are III and miseEabIe.
not because they have worked TOO hard
at necessary occupation, but because
they have indUlged immoderately in the
wild pursuit If pieasure-and is there
not a still greater number of young
people who have lost all zest in life
from the same lcause2
"Fifth-Is it on is it not the case that.
though drinking has. happily, materially
diminished, yet gambling, betting, and
Misrepresentation are on the increase. and
that this vice prevails among rich and
poor, not only among men, but also
largely among women, even those EN-
ployed in laundries?"
