Because Of the scandals connected:
with certain whist clubs the police OF
the north side. Chicago. have started
a crusade against ''ireside' gambling.
What u ''6reside" gambling?
1t IL gambling INDUCED in BY exclu-
sive society women. The fair game
sters do not merely play whist for
prizes. but poker games for money.
The captain of police sent detectives:
to warn certain POSSESSES. declaring
that If the gaming were not suppressed
he would raid these homes the same
Us If they were downtown gambling
joints.
Mira bile dictu!
According to the police, the poker
games are played at frequent inter
walls. some of the card clubs meeting
as often as FIVE times a week. And
the stakes run higher than 500 at
times. And the women at whose
homes the clubs meet take a rake
orr of as much as $40 from each of
the players.
But wait; there's more.
One woman complainant. a Mrs. Ten
Eyck. told the police she was robbed
in one of these aristocratic homes
while playing poker Of $35 contained
In her hand bag.
Moreover
1t is also learned that considerable
domestic discord has followed the rev
! Citations Of the police. Husbands who
had wondered at the sharp increase in
household expenses saw a possible ex
| PLANTATION.
| In short, some Of these women had
been stealing in order to get the mon.
| ey to put up as stakes.
Which Is a fine mess.
! And as you read Of these things you
| tremble for the future Of country
whose women are thus corrupted.
But
| Remember this-these women are OF
the sort who dawdle away their short
forenoons with their maids and hair
dressers. spend their afternoons at the
card parties and their evenings at the
| theater.
They are but painted parasites, use
less butterflies.
In their fireside gambling they art
no better than the professional spi
ders that lure the foolish dies into
their parlors, and the police do we'll te
make no distinction. Perhaps If they
did not gamble they would do some
thing as bad.
But
They are not real women. They ar,
only the pampered pets Of rich hus
. bands.
