In the outer world ii was still
light, with the delicious clearness
of an evening in early summer; but
in the card room of the Ace of
Spades Club the heavy crimson
plush curtains were drawn closely
across the windows, and the light
from the carefully shaded electric
lamps fell on the green tables and
the players seated at them.
Tlere We're ladies' as we'll as gen
tlement present, for the Club was
composed of both sexes. The mem
oers were in evening dress; the
toilettes of the women were of the
latest and most costly mode; lda-
monds sparkled on white bsooms, on
taper fingers, and on deftly moving
wrists as they dealt or p,ayed the
cards: some of the men, and some
of the women also. were smoking
cigarettes, for all the members OF
this exclusive Club belonged to the
Smart Set, that set which has sprung
up like an unwholesome fungus in
the center of our modern civilization.
The room was strangely quiet,
for the players conversed in low
tones so that their work should not
be disturbed. For it was work, rath-
er than play, that these foolish
people most of them young, were
engaged in.
They were playing bridge, a game
which, however more or less harm
less in itself can be made, like
any other game, source OF evil;
the stakes were high-that they
shouldI be so was one of the reas-
ons for the existence OF the Club
and the varied emotions which eX-
cite and torment the soul of the
gambler were depicted, in many
cases on the faces of the players;
greed of gold shone in the eyes OF
some of the women, though their
carefully lowered lids strove to con-
ceal it: a white hand would Qu!ycr

AT small tables, placed convent
emily near the green ones, stood
glasses and bottles of champagne;
two or three of the Club footmen,
in handsome but subdued livery,
moved to and fro nOiselesly on the
thick pile carpet.
Within almost a stones throw of
this magnificent room in Mayfair
were noisome slums. in which men
and women struggled and fought for
a bare subsistence; and Just be-
meath the windows carriages and
cabs ratified loudly; the great world
was moving rapidly around this
little group of selfish pleasure-seek-
ers; but they were dea3l to the
life about them. absorbed in their
evil task of winning each others
money. To them it was a matter
of indifference that the cry of the
was rising throughout
the land more loudly and ominously
every day; that philosophers and
statesmen were wearily trying to
cope with great social problems of
the gravest kind. These men in their
immaculate evening dress, these
women clad in silks and satins and
Iesplendent with gems, cared for
nothing at that moment but the
turning of a card, the making of
a trick.

PRECEDENT IN LIBEL CASE.
Petition To Supreme Court Involving

that exceptions might be dictated to the
