 Another cane handle contains ooTnplcse outfit Of the game known aa Petlts Chevaux When the lid Is open betting can begin and the horse crossing the wire first wins the stakes. One of fhe latest Parisian novelties consists in a ladies parasol handle containing roulette wheel which can be used for gambling at any place or moment
 These handles have become very popular They are Of fine workman ship and generally Of gold or silver
 One handle contains almost every thing that one would ba likely 10 need. long sheet of paper is wound around the rod. from which pieces may be torn of for taking notes.
