Forward to Heavy Sales
in Fall.

Financial circles are getting ready IN
swing into the spirit Of Fall business
after the Labor day week end and Mon
day holiday with large number o.
bank officials and employees scheduled
to return from vacations.
Much interest has been evinccd here
in the optimistic statements issuing
from various nationally known business
and financial houses as to the pros
poets for Fall, and there were evidences
today of substantial confidence among
local leaders In the forthcoming season
in Washington.
The cool weather which broke the
hot spell, has already appeared to have.
some influence on the disposition OF
the buying public, and the merchants
of the city are prominently displaying
Fall goods. Although it Is expected
that some hot weather will follow o.
fore actual Fall sets in, the seasonal
cool spell has been seized upon by some
as an encouraging harbinger of what
is expected shortly to be an increase
in Autumn business activity through
out the National Capital.

BY abysmal bad luck. One night 10 was
noticed that the woman left her hand
bag on one of the settees.
After more unsuccessful play and
some fevertsE whispering the trio with
drew from the table toward tile op-
posite side Of the room. Immediately
there was a binding fash and pande.
nonium ensued. Not In the history Of
the Casino before or since has there
been such scene Of panic and con-
fusion
The settee on which the bag had lain
was torn to shreds. The windows above
were blown out into the gardens and the
chandelier overhead was twisted trav-
esty OF its former grace and glory. The
truth was that the woman had con-
cealed an Internal machine of astonisi1-
ing mechanical ingenuity in her hand
bag and she and her companions had
counted on making away with the
money on the table in the chaos sue
ceeding the explosion. They were un-
successful. however.
This affair by no means exhausts the
number Of attempts that have been
made by methods other than those of
actual play TO secure the treasure of the

day there came to the Casino two ulng
ladies whose appearance conveyed no
impression Of their inherent guile. They
secured the services Of an experienced
gamester.
The young ladies said they were pre-
pared to risk many thousands of francs,
but that all winnings would be banked
In a separate account. The English
man won considerable sums for his fair
employers until the discovery vas made
that the money with which they had
been supplying him was counterfeit
and that they had departed with tke

They are. in fact. an important and es-
Sential link in the spy system of the

So detached is their manner. so nom
chalant their bearing that among the

recognize them as the most important

who are reputed never to forget a face

Things are done quietly at Monte

anything in the nature of commotion or

Is jealous OF its reputation, and for this
reason 1t has devised the worlds finest

A ND what of the ruined gamester?
The administration of the Casino
has arranged facilities by which any
man who has been ruined at the tables
vance OF money to pay his hotel bill or
mis- travelling expenses to his home. He
cannot. however. return to the rooms
until he has liquidated the debt. If
gambler has been conducted from the
rooms for delinquency he will be
punished by expulsion perhaps for on.

perhaps forever. And rest assured he

Who can measure the amount of
tragedy which has followed ruin at the

human anguish and hopeless disaster
arising from too great q love for the
fascination OF the tapis vert. Death
has more than once come to the rescue
OF broken gamesters. The Suicides
