they filed on Wednesday against Mrs.

The Gambling Den" Does
Largest Business of Any
Booth at Fair

Among the things no woman con-
fesses to her granddaughter is pas
sion for games Of chance. Dozens Of
matronly. gray-haired figures crowded
around the roulette wheels and faro
tables in Mrs. Henry B. Harris's studio,
at the Macdouqal Alley fiesta last night
and had the time Of their sedate lives.
Come and have a Autter! Try your
luck at gambling" shouted the giant
cowboys at the entrance, waving their
orange-colored handkerchiefs.
Inside, in a room hung with bottles
Of Chianti and sporting prints, fat
man in a broad-brimmed sombrero'
spun a wheel in the centre Of long
green table.
"All down and all set" he called.
"Up she rises two deuces and a trey.
Mrs. Harris, who is "boss" OF the
gambling den," was not proud Of her
establishment last night, but she was
under orders from Harry Payne Whit
ney not to allow any playing for
money. There were moments the night
before. it was whispered, when Mrs.
Harris's roulette wheel spun as gay!y
as anv wheel at Monte Carlo.
The committee in charge of the Ailey
Festa frowned upon it. in spite OF Mrs.
Harris's indignant protests that II was
a perfectly straight game and that the
house had lost 81 600 the opening night
OF the fiesta. John Moaat and Mrs.
Walter /. Maynard. Of the committee,
backed up Mr. Whitney in his request
so there was nothing for Mrs. Harris
to DO bat sputtcr and sell ten chips Tor
a dollar to thc women who never mad
hoped 10 see u roulette wheel and
didn't mind losing the dollar.
The Alley was almost as crowded last
night as at the opening but the police
and Fire Department. augmented by
dozen members Of the Home Defence
League, made it strictly a zone way
street" and there was no confusion
save when Clara Tice made her appear
ance as d barelegged gypsy boy.
