cards with their children. The mother went to

the neighbor boys to play, by telling them
that girs in town play them and that there is
no harm In playing them for amusement
knvo mothers whose hearts would ache IL they
knew their bright little boys were sitting around
that card table.
Card playing is like drinking intoxicating
liquors. one dram calls for another. People be-
