a discussion of those deep-seated
practices from which it would appear
impossible to wean the human family.
But the case Of that Ludlow. Mass,

A NOVEL TEXT

A Boston priest, Father Vaughan
by name. preached a sermon the 9TH
er day with a deck Of cards as his
text. From heir cabalistic decora-
tons he drew various object lessons.
Hearts, he claimed, is the greatest
game in the world, although some wo-
men preferred diamonds. In clubs he
found the secret significance Of life
and property, while spades stood for
the workineman, 1t being the delivers
tool. in the last analysis, that kept the
wheels Of progress turning.
That cards have long served as NOR
atty books is nothing new. That
they faithfully present. or rather re-
fleet the conditions under which they
came into existence is equally patent.
From all the evidence that can he
gathered. IL modern playing cards
are Of French origin. What are Gus

point to tho circumstanccs Of royalty
and its appendages--the king and
queen of high estate. the knave,
doubtless the Jester. only second in
importance. The ace is the beginning
of q numerical system. in which lie
strange mysteries Of such unexampled
possibilities as to confound the deep
est researches Of pure intellect, and
which has lent its force t more than
one ordered system Of philosophy and
religion. Notifications Of the pictor.
tal figures have also served in times
past as a clew to the social and politi-
cal conditions. Victor Hugo has told
Of these grotesque alterations, where
by forgers and corners once spelt
their W destiny with pictures of
hares and hounds. and the poor hare
finally boiling in a pot of oil.
las a matter Of pleasant DIVERSION,
Father Vaughan probably might have
done worse than to use the cards az

Franklin Farnum, Harold Refill, and
others Of equal prominence. The IA
nous "Lederer" beauty chorus Is an
important factor of the production and
includes only those who are singers,
possessed Of unusual beauty. While
the standard musical numbers are still
a part Of the performance, a number
of new songs are introduced to take
the place Of the old ones. Another
special feature of the production is
the charming display of new creations

The production is elaborate and. is
