Almack's was one Of the famous old
gambling clubs Of London. II was at
Its height in the latter part Of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. II was not uncommon
for the losses In single night to
amount to upwards Of 100000.
The young men, dandies all. who In.
tended to play set about the matter
with great deal Of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brIms,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took of their
ruffies and silk or satin coats and wore
In their place rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues Of their coats from the soil Of the
table.
At each players side was a small
table that held their tea. wine cakes
and rolls Of rouleaus or chips. Most
Of the players wore long curis, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks. were
perfumed, powdered and painted like
court ladies, and some Of them even
affected mincing ladylike walk. But
those who made the error Of thinking
them ladylike In their fighting ability
made a mistake that often cost a life.
