Carlo is there to be broken" and
that the sensational feat Of which
Charles Coburn, the music-hall artist.
sang many years ago is one really
capable Of accomplishment. AS a
matter Of fact, the bank" of Monte
Carlo is anthing but the fragile thing
Of some peoples imagination. To
break" it consists merely in winning
the cash allotted to each table at the
commencement Of play-G3,200 in the
case Of a roulette table, $4,000 In
that Of trente-et-quarante table, where
the maximum allowed is G4S0, dou.
Bile that permitted at roulette. If the
player be lucky enough to clean out
a table-"break the bank" If one
will-all hat happens is that a furth.
er sum is fetched from the Casino
Golfers. He who boasts of breaking
the bank at Monte Carlo might just
as well pride himself on breaking the
Bank of England because a cashier
of that institution ran short of gC!i
in cashing his check and SEN for a
further supply.
But, then, there still exist so many
delusions regarding this, the most
famous casino in the world. There are
people who believe that a ~croupier
can be bribed to spin a certain num-
Der, that a ghOstly hand is to be seen
by the fortunate lowering over a GER
tain table and indicating the manner
in which the player shall stake, and
that the occupation of a particular
room in q hotel near the Casino
brings fortune with it.
Percentage of profit Small.
While the average gambler loses
his money at Monte Carlo, there are
many who leave winners. He who is
content with a reasonable percentage
on his capital and is possessed of a
strong head and a will of equal power
has a very fair chance in his fight
with the wheels or the cards. The
percentage taken by the Casino Is
small-very small in comparison with
the terrible cagnotte of the baccarat
table, or the even more impossible tax
levied on him who is foolish enough
to risk his money or petits chevaux
or boule. AS a matter of fact, there
is quite an important number of reg
ular and successful players at Monte
Carlo-people who literally live by
play. They are, needless to say,
gamblers Of the most careful class,
players of systems, which reduce the
possibility of anything but small loss
to a minimum. But that they exist
is not II be denied. There exists also
in the principality of Monaco a GER
tain few who draw regular pensions
from the Casino-gamblers, once
rich, who have lost all and their for
tune on the board of green cloth, and
upon which the authorit'.s have TAX
en- compassion. They are not, Of
course, allowed to c-ter the rooms.
but the initiated can often point them
out to one, incoming about the place
and gazing with hungry eyes at the
forbidden SALES de jeu.

AS the butler went off to attend to
these orders, Gormly re-entered the
room and found the whole party COM
fortably gathered about the fire. He
explained that he had found a WON

wife; that he had sent the station
wagon for her; and that she would be
present doubtless within a half hour
with such Indispensable articles of at
tire as might serve to make the wom-
en- guests at least comfortable.
"If you were only in communication
with your shop, Mr.. Gormly," said Mrs.
Haldane-and whether she meant TO
be offensive or not. Gormly could o
tell-"we would lack nothing"
81 am sorry for your sake, madam.

to do our best with the limited re-

Conversation ran on desultorily this
way for a short time. when the butler
announced the arrival of Mrs. BulleU.
AS he did so. the tall clock unsteady
chimed out the hour of nine.

Gormly," said Mrs. Haldane. rising,
"as l am somewhat fatigued from the

Good night" said Mrs. Haldane,
moving away, escorted by the butler,
and met outside presently by Mrs.
Bullen.
Mr.. Gormly and I will watch your
game" said Eleanor.
by the way, Eleanor, may I ask
where you met Mr.. Gormly?" queried
her father.
He is very much interested in our
social settlement work. Many Of his
employees live in the vicinity of the
new settlement house we are building,
and l have had occasion to consult
him at his Office a great many times"
"Ah," said the elder man reflective
ly, wondering how much might be be-
hind that entirely innocent statement.
Meanwhile a footman arranged a
card table, at which the quartet took
their places and instantly became alb
sorbed in the game. Miss Haldane
manifested no special interest in the
play, and at Gormly's suggestion she
left the hall and went with him into
the inviting little library through the
broad open doors that gave access to
Ii from the hall. Another fire was
burning there. He drew a low chair
before 1t in which she sat down. He
himself stood with his arm resting IN
the mantel, looking down on her.
The two were in plain sight from
the bridge table; but as they talked in
low tones their conversation was in
audible in the hall. Haldane glanced
~curiously and ~uneasily at them from
time to time; but finally, becoming
absorbed in his game, paid them no
further notice.

Cooking in Casserole.

Cooking in Casserole.
Casserole cookery has gradually
worked itself into great popularity I'M
til now in almost every home some
form of casserole is used Since the
study of foods and feeding has become
more common the housewife begins
to realize the value of slow cooking
of foods, hence the popular use of the
fireless cooker and the casserole.
Anything that requires slow cooking
without browning, may be cooked in
this stone-covered dish. If the brown
ing is desired, it may be done before
the food is put into the casserole.
Long, slow cooking of meats after
the outside has been scared to retain
the juices, is conducive to retaining
the best and most nutritious elements
Of the food and also it makes the
flavor of meats far superior to other
methods of cooking.
Chicken in sseroIe.-Separate the
chicken as for frying, wipe perfectly
dry and brown in a little fat. When
the pieces are all nicely Drowned,
place them in the casserole with a
pint of chicken broth made by stew
ing the wing tips and the feet. Put
on the cover and cook in a moderate
oven for an hour and a half. Melt
three tablespoonfuls of butter in
pan, add dozen potato balls, dozen
carrot balls and a few small onions;
as soon as brown add to the casserole
with more water if necessary, and
cook until the vegetables are tender.
Do not remove the cover after putting
In the vegetables. Serve from the
casserole. Beefsteak. mutton and any
meat may be cooked in this manner.
The coarse and tough cuts of meat
are made tender and sayory by this
process of cooking
Rice and Meat in Casserole.-Line
the bottom and sides of a buttered
casserole with a cupful of cold cooked
rice. Season any chopped meat with
onion juice, celery salt, herbs and salt,
moisten with butter and eggs and fill
the dish with the chopped meat. Gov
er with the rice and cook slowly for
an hour. Serve with tomato sauce.
Bananas With Sauce in Casserole

bananas to remove the coarse threads.
cut in halves. both lengthwise and
crossvise and put into a casserole.
Melt small glass of currant jelly,
pour over them the juice Of half
a lemon and tablespoonful of butter.
Cover and cook in a slow oven for
half an hour
Pears baked in a casserole with a
little butter and sugar are perfectly
delicious Let them brown the last
half hour. Pears need long cooking,
often a half a day to make them rich
and tender.

Cranleigh Hume swung himself
into the Manayunk car, thrust his

usually kept there. and found moth

"Hurrup!" growled the conductor,
glancing at the waiting line behind
the trim young fellow The boys
fingers rummaged nervously through
other pockets.
"Ah, here" snarled the bluecoat,

blocks!" He jerked tn bell violent

Hume thrust into an inside pocket
and drew forth twenty dollar note.
The car came to a grumbling stop.
The conductor vas angry. No, you

The young fellow hesitated, a flush
crept up his face into his closely
clipped hair. Two or three passen-
gers were smiling at his dilemma.
He turned on his heel and stepped
into the night
At the same moment fat, white
haired, red-faced old gentleman
stepped from the crowd on the car
platform. The car rushed away with
its usual ascending whine. Gran

The young man stood for a mo-

vaguely into which house the old
gentleman would turn when to his
surprise, he spoke.

he could get his bill changed.

CONCERNING USE OF PLUMES
Newest Trimming in Millinery Shows
Styles Such as Our Mothers
Never Dreamed OF.

The newest trimming in millinery
emphasizes the use Of plumes. Such
plumes. The word conjures up an in
finite variety Of styles OF which our
mothers or grandmothers knew moth
Ing, and fair women of today can be
doubly grateful for the efforts of MILL
ners.
Garlands Of plumes are used on
broad, low hats. They are spotted and
fecked with color, and some are made
of layers OF different shades, giving a
wonderfully irridescent effect.
On velvet turbans the use of a sin
gle plume attached at the front, and
extending toward the back in a slant
ing line, IS quite evident This line for
the plume IS used on large hats as
well. And speaking Of the wide, fat
shapes leads US to the introduction of
ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two
successful Paris milliners have done
this with great effect.
Feather rosettes are made of ostrich
plumes. Concenrio circles Of cut

plumes are favored for these orna-
ments. They are detachable. hooking

DRINK CAUSE OF INSANITY
Liquor Responsible for Nearly SO Per
Cent Of Patients Admitted In
English AsyIums.

Drink and hereditary influence were
reported as the cause of insanity in
42.3 per cent Of the cases admitted
into Rainhill asylum, in England, last
year, drink being responsible IN 22.8
of the cases, and a clear history of
hereditary faint In 1875. These re-
markable statistics are contained in
the annual reports of the county
asylum at Lancaster, Prestwick,
Rainhil, Nottingham and Winwick,
just issued.
On the subject of the causes and
the presentation of lunacy, DR.. Gig
ellsworth, medical superintendent Of
Rainhill, Is very outspoken. Refer
ring to the 22.8 per cent. of admissions
for which drink was responsible, Dr..
Wigglesworth says the figure Is suf-
ficiently large to indicate clearly that
havoc which drink makes with the
nervous system, and adds: IF the
evil affected the individual only it
would be bad enough, but unfortu-
nately there is reason to believe that
1t is often handed on to the offspring,
owing to the direct poisonous effect
upon the germ of the alcohol circulat-
ing in the blood, and that not little
of the terrible amount of nervous in
stability and degeneracy which we
see around US has its origin in this
cause"
Regarding the 1915 per cent. of ad-
missions in which there is a clear
history of hereditary faint, DR.. Wig
ellsworth says that no doubt this fig
ure considerably understates the real
influence of heredity, owing to the
difficulty experienced IN getting reh.
able accounts of the families of the
patients.

and fancy feathers, wings and ribbons
are all available. The soft caps are
more simply trimmed.
Soft caps of fur or fur fabrics are
easily made at home. The crown is in
four sections, like boys jockey cap,
and the brim a slightly curved collar,
which IS wide enough to turn up about
the crown. This is lined with silk or
satin. a fine wire may be introduced
in the outside brim edge to advantage.
1t should be put In between the fabric
and the lining, and will serve to keep
the hat shapely.
Such hats of plush or fur are very
comfortable-a real protection to the
head, and the becomingness is a new
discovery 1t is all in adjusting the
right shape to the head in the right
way.
