The Games That Were Played In tina
Eighteenth Century.

Eighteenth Century.
After the advent of the house OF
Hanover the fayorite games at court
were "quadrilIe," DIN Improvements
of "ombre," and Commerce. The
gains and losses of the kings and
queens were, as a rule, restricted tc
100 guineas, but on Twelfth Night
it was customary for thousands to
change hands. On one occasion
Lady Cowper, a lady in waiting, re-
fused for the sake of her children
to take part in the game, as none
sat down to the table with less than
5000.
About the year 1140 a rage for
"whisk," or whist, set in, but at frs,
it was considered too wise a game
for ladies to join in. Hume, the his.
torian, never went to bed without
his whist, and even the great John
son regretted that he had not
learned to play cards. In 1742
"Horry" Walpole finds it absolutely
necessary to learn "whisk," "having
waited in vain for its being left off"
We find him in another letter
threatening to build an altar tc
"Pam" to commemorate the escape
of his charming Duchess Of Grafton.

where the floor fell in and all the
monsignores we're precipitated into

Cards were so very much in evil
dence in his time that even invita-
tions were frequently issued and
notes written on the backs Of play
ing cards, which on that account
were usually plain, without any de-
sign. The chevalier's famous order
to retreat at Culloden was written
on the back Of the nine Of hearts.
A fresh attempt was made in 1873
to remedy the state of gambling in
England by passing an act which
provided that "any person keeping
