Blanc, the founder of the ca sino at Monte Carlo, was very ec centric. He was never known to play at the table except on one occasion, and then it. was a somewhat costly experience. While on a visit to the Wiesbaden casino with Mine. Blanc he was in the habit of accompanying her on a morning stroll each day. During one of these walks madame onmplained of the heat of the sun ana requested her husband to buy her a parasol. Accordingly the two entered a shop, where madame selected a very pret ty article, worth 80 francs, which M. Blanc, with a scowl and a mut tered grumble, paid. When the casino opened at noon ■gidat was the astonishment of the croupiers and visitors to see M. Blanc place 2 louis on the red at one of the trente et quarante ta bles. The attendants hastened to get him a chair, but this he de clined, saying he was only going to remain a few minutes. When the cards were dealt he won, and, tak ing up his winnings, left the orig inal stake on the table. For a sec ond time he won and had now got back the price of the umbrella. But, not content, he ventured another 2 louis, which this time he lost. Somewhat annoyed at this, the founder of the place doubled the stake and won, thus getting back the cost of the umbrella again. Determined, however, to regain .his 2 louis, he staked it again, only to see it raked in by the bank. Thus he kept on winning and losing, but never able to recover the 2 louis, till at last he found himself 25 louis out, all the gold his pooketbook con tained. A thousand franc note he had was quickly changed and swal lowed up. Then, becoming exas perated- hs cashed his check for a large aad. sitting dow&, ecas ncaead tffca Ibs.ttio La earnest.
