The famous Gondorf brothers, scholarly and silver-haired wre-tap- ping fleecers, tried to operate in many cities before landing on Broadway. Almost invariably they had to leave town over night. But they manipulated the flimsiest of boob- batting tricks unmolested for seven years in that sophisticated strip on Broadway between the Cir cle and Herald Square. They garner ed several millions before they '"went up the river.'

 The polished crook of the melo- dramatic thriller and mystery novel is often seen in real life. Perhaps the most convincing Of the guild is the ocean greyhound who plies the transatlantic liner as a card sharp. They have acquired the sraces of the seasoned voyager. They often appear as nothing more than pleas ant fellows with monocles. When they are barred on the Atlantic they switch to the Pacific until they are forgotten.
 -OO- The usual companion Of the greyhound has the appearance of a benign church deacon or perhaps q retired middle-west store keeper on his first ship voyage. He seems re- | luctant to join any card game and will only submit by assurances of l low stakes. His disarming manner almost invariably allays suspicion. A sea captain once told me all ship passengers should beware of the cautious fellow, who warns oi card sharks and collects only those in whom he has confidence of "a quiet little game" He is dynamite Once he gets such a game started his confederates soon manoeuvrc il into high play,
 Despite all the ship warnings more than a million is collected every season by card sharps. Int only safe card game at sea is soli taire,

DETACHMENT

By Alice JudSon lcale
 The most striking and obvious way in which the practice of the good nursery school teacher differs from that of the average mother is in her emotional detachment il try ing situations.
 No matter now difficult, provok- ing and unruly a child's behavior may be, the nursery school teacher preserves a manner of serenity, firm or friendly as the case may be, but calm and self-controlled always.
 -year-old Ernest goes up to one of the tables already set for the children's noon day meal and before anyone can stop him has seized a pitcher of milk and is pouring it into the glass, onto the table and over the floor
