Gambling on Increase
in Atlanta Society
Atlanta, December, 7.—The
rapid increase in gambling among
women in Atlanta, and particu
larly among women who are
members of the church, is be
coming the scandal and despair
of a number of ministers whose
eyes are open to the true situa
tion, and who admit that it is ap
parently beyond their power to
cope with.
Not only, it is said, do the fair
ladies gamble for money at
practically every afternoon
bridge party, but both matrons
and debutantes have also become
adopts at poker and are included
as a matter of course in jack-pot
and stud games which were
formerly regarded as the ex
clusive prerogative of the males.
In fact when it comes to poker
playing the men admit that a
woman who is expert at the
game is more difficult to figure
out than a man who has been
playing for ten years, and they
cite the case of a baby-faced,
blue eyed damsel in a recent
game on Peachtree who passed
four queens, then raised the pot
when it was opened, giving
everybody the impression she
was drawing to a flush, and then
won a statk of blue chips as high
as a house from a poor misguid
ed mere man who had caught a
third jack to jacks and sixes,
After that jthe men are almost
willing to agree with the preach
ers that it is a very wicked thing
for an innocent young lady to
play poker.'

Ready For the Worst. -
“A woman in a parish where I lived,”
said an English clergyman, “used each
day to prepare herself for the worst.
I was complimenting her one day on
the extreme #idiness of the house even
early in the morning.
“‘Yes,” she said; ‘I always likes t
’ave my bedrooms done hearly, for, as
I allus sez, you never knows what may
’appen, ’'ow soon one of the childre:
may be brought ’ome in a fit or wit
a broken leg, and, as I allus sez, ii
don’t matter what ’appens, so long as
you've got a bedroom to put’em into.’’
—Cornhill Magazine. . ;
But too many people get into an
argument who have nothing to say,
Some people would rather be
happy than good.
