Our steward came in just then,

they have them for pets over

Paradise fish is a much pref

"Thev are beauties" said the

He has had ample time and

constant association with him
It Is hard for me to break away
from him. and also, I find no

Will you please advise me
what course to pursue.
A CONSTANT READER.
As you have spoken to him
: : about this matter I don't see
what you can do except refuse
to take him too seriously as a
friend. Certainly If he loved
you and wished to marry you he
would make reasonable efforts to
better himself financially.
Force yourself to take an in

determine to break away from
the bonds Of an affection that
seems a waste of time as far as
any hope Of marriage is con-
cerned.

Its title is, "The Future at Monte
Carlo: A Method Explained Whereby
the Bank Must Fail"
THE intention" he writes, sis not
to put forward a new system in OF
position to the bank, but to invert all
that has gone before insofar as to
compel the bank to take the place of
the system monger."
He shows how number Of players,
working in concert, may force the
bank to play one Of the famous sys-
TENS, such as that devised by Labou-
chere.
The Berosford system, he declares.
may be played by people with as little
as $50 or E40 apiece, for with so small
a reserve many would lose their all !;
a few, however, would probably win
heavily. One solitary winner
could easily win an amount in excess
