From many sides come the tales of games on the great greyhounds, where smart have carried off the stakes and been suspected of profes sionalism and perhaps of cheating
 What an old time packet gambler from the Missis sppi boats would say on hearing that something in pettieoats had inherited his demesne quite beyond reproduction in print. What cardmen of the succeed ing generation say, the men who did most of their tricks on the railroads and in small gambling houses s brief T don't believe it." And there is something inherently incredible about in the role of pro fessona gambler and card cheat. The old time gambler expresses it in sweeping when he says "There a moll that could handle cards somewhat tame paraphrase perhaps of the thief's .There never was but square cop and he's dead
 Yet there is some truth in the stories of a new in gambling and the intrusion of women into the professional field This latter has been coming about gradually by the fierce of several agencies
 Two generations ago the ineessant gambling that went on aboard the river packets at all times accompanied by rough and tumble fights, gun play knife duels, mob attacks the gamblers and com lete array of every manner of rowdyism. Tbe vic tims bad the ganesters often worse It was the gambling of a frontier people, Women had no possible place in it.
 % In the last generation came race of men half gamesters and half confidence They played in either field circumstance and opportunity dictated Their gambling done trains in the nnumer- ale gambling houses that throve in every sizahle town and city, and occasionally in hotels when spe cia victim had been lured Women could be used u such operations only the rare occasions when the victim wealthy gallant who was best baited with femininity. The stcckman who had come to the rearest large city and disposed of tranload of steers hogs the from heinland town who had made m9ney in oil mines and come to the city to c..cbrate, and the provincial church-pllar banker who went to the city twice year to get off his chest the iniquity he sedulousy concealed at home-these were typical victims.

When women employed in the schemes of gamblers in that day they usually from of the two underwords either thieves girls daughters of Las Naturally, they were not, except in cases, either of special intelligence unusual beauty They were light headed. No amount of patience could teach them to play successful hand of poker to match the skill of any first second rate And poker was then notoriously mans game Nat urally the card despsed such women and felt uncomfortable in any operation where they ployed
 But great changes have taken place among gam lers, among their victims and among the who consort with them. Moreover, there has been a siderable mutation in the games used
 FTNO-DAY'S gamblers are different from those of l the earlier generations in several particulars.
 They are less inclined to rough work and they
 try to air of education and culture, whereas their fathers strove to rustic and stupid This change forced of course, by change in the vic tims The old gambler played for the rube; his works of position and sometimes of attainment. The old crudtes have disappeared from card cheating. To-days tricks vastly clever and subtle Finally, the stakes played for to-day from ten to thousand times great in the old days. The better gamblers are highly prosperous and their money permits them elaborate schemes and plans which were impossible the old player who worked for small money
 The change in the victims has already been noted in part but an important phase of it needs special mention. There has sprung up to large prosperity in this country, within the last generation, class of business men, made up of several Levantine races, among whom gambling is endemic fever These persons play whenever there is opportunity and for very high stakes. They practise all sorts of tricks among themselves and what the professional gambler calls "haf wise" and by that token espe- cieiy susceptible to the sharper who is really wise and able to entrap sem through their own venality. FTNHE next factor is the change in games. Whereas | poker was formerly the one and only game
 except for such frauds monte and keno and such house games faro-bridge whist and craps figure very largely in the games on the ocean boats and elsewhere. The two-dice game adopted because it's parapheTnalia is small and easily cealed and because it gives fast and furious action and permits of swift winning and losing of large amounts. Bridge on the other hand was taken over by gamblers and their victims because it was the social game the smart thing to play. One must not forget that there is always bit of social climbing and sycophancy involved in the motives of the gamblers sucker.
 All these matters have had something to do with the gradual introduction of women into professional gaming circles. It is patent that great many have played bridge for the better part of two decades and that some of them adopts. It is also fact

that all manner of gambling has had great vogue among the women of the cities and that card playing which was once practically under the ban among women has now to be of their special amuse ments In certain social strata the py is often for higher stakes than the average man likes to risk And a great many women have Iatterly taken up craps, once confined to the alleys and empty los the street urchn, the minor gambling house and the gangster, and still referred to as Ethiopian golf" f I bridge is game which women go in for strongly
 through it's social popularity, craps is game for
 women because of other considerations. It is simple it may be played anywhere and it's cheats are easy to learn The two dice of the crap game may be crookedly handled in of two ways. either by load ing the dice by trick throwing. A comparatively simple leight-of-hand-feat by means of which the initiate throw the winning pps four out of every five attempts be learned in short time and the woman who has the patience to practise long and carefully with the 4bones is thereafter able to take almost any pair of straight dice and hold enormous advantage over other players. This s remember, physical trick, nowise to be compared with the psychological intricacies of good poker playing who would never, by any far chance, become even fair poker player may become expert dice thrower in few months or less time.
 As result of this feminine familiarity with bridge and craps New York City has lately been afflicted with number of apartments where attractive women have lured the ceebrant out-oftown buyer and done him to ruin with their patent cheats There such a case in the newspapers within recent weeks. Any Man-About-Broadway knows of dozen other such webs of the feminine spiders. -s 14
 MEANTIME, in the last twenty-five years, there WI has been change inlthe kind of women avail
 able to the gambler for his involved proceed ings First of all, the gradual refinement of the methods of gamblers. and the atmosphere about gambling has made the gaming world habtable for women. Again. the sexual underworld from which women are constantly recruited for the purposes of all sorts of lawbreakers has been abolished gee graphical area and profoundly changed otherwise. The same women who once inhabited these under degrading conditions, live in the apart- ment next door and to the casual eye different from others There is, too constant contact of the gambling world with that of the stage the resut be- ing that certain types of theatrical women are often available to the cheats entirely different kinds of women from the old burlesque and honkytonk chorus girls sometimes employed by the forerunners of our present day sharpers. There are also constant re- crus to this quasfelonious world from the ranks of better educated and better situated women whom disasters of various kinds have overcome.
