NEW RESORT DIMS
MONTE CARLO FAME
WEALTHY TOURISTS SEEKING
ENGHIEN DIVERSIONS
Tradesmen Complain That Gambling
Causes Extravaganza and Leaves
Bills Unpaid-Propose Mu-
niclpal Games
BY A. W. L'AMOUREUx

PARIS, Oct. 6.-Enghien, which be-
sides a small lake boasts gaming ta-
bles, and has the advantage over
Monte Carlo Of being only twelve min
utes from Paris, has never flourished
as much as this year. The Casino net
profits are expected to work out at
about $2,0OO0O0 for 1909. This is very
pleasant, of course. for Enghien, but
Paris, and in particular Partisan
tradesmen, object. Dressmakers, jew
elers, furriers and milliners say that
the number of their customers unpaid
bills is in a direct ratio to the taklngs
Of the half wo- Id settle their ac-
counts as this year. These women
are the mainstays of the gaming rooms,
but they are, or are expected to be,
also among the chief supporters of
commerce de luxe. They still order
dresses, hats and jewels enough, but
they pay for them less than ever. The
tradesmen lay the blame upon Eng
hlen.
A woman with the real passion for
the green tables in her blood and a
800 bill in her purse probably will not
save it up to settle with her milliner.
Tradesmen also say that the welcome
South American who used to rush over
from his native gold mine with a large
portion of it in his pocketbook to the
Rue de la Paix and buy diamond
tiaras now takes the train straight to
Enghien, and sometimes has to get
his consul to pay his passage back the
week. A municipal councillor
has proposed to start a casino with
gaming tables in the Bois de Bou'
logne, also as being still nearer Paris,
but tradesmen at this suggestion have
sent up a howl of expostulation. That
would be the last straw, and at that
rate no one would ever pay bills at
all. AS it is, the Paris trade de luxe,
which subsists upon the extravaganee
of the demi-monde, says that 1t will
hardly be able to go on living for a
couple of years more IL the present
average of bad debts Is maintained.
Before then something must be done
to stem the flow of gold to the Eng
hien green tables.
