a jack-pot. Pettigrew hesitated at frst,
but drew four cards. The man who
opened the pot drew no cards, and
bet WO. and Pettigrew raised the
same amount. The opener did the
same, and the raising continued until
about $760 was on the table. “How
many cards did you draw. Petti:

served in the cathedral there has been

This was too much for his opponent,

A celebrated lawyer of New York,
who now holds a national position of
great responsibility, was once en-
gaged in a game with three gamblers
—rascals. He found four aces in his
hand and stood pat. The unhesitat-
ing raises of the gamblers, however,
aroused his suspicions, and he bet
cautiously. . Suddenly he was seized
with an idea and examined his hand
with great care, card by card. It was
as he thought. Squeezing the cards
as hard as he could, he discovered
that a sixth card was glued to his
fifth, and so saved himself consider-
able money. The intention had been,
of course, to let him bet all his money
and then refuse him the pot on ac-
count of his hand being dead.

Of the playing of cards for money,
Henry Watterson, the famous Ken-
tucky editor, says: “Of all methods
of livellhod or dissipation or amuse:
ment, perhaps there is none about
which so much untruth passes cur-
rent as about gambling.". Indeed,
there are more foolish stoles about
poker especlally than the average
reader wots of. There I, so much
room for exaggeration In the recount-
ing of a poker story that the relator
finds it too dimcult to restrain himself
to strict veracity, and' the conse-
quence is that the Idea of persons
playing poker in moderation is seldom
entertained by those who inveigh
against cards on principle. The fol-
lowing ancedotes, however, have the
merit of sterling truth—to the best be-
lief of the writer.

PARIS. May 3.—Elaborate toilet,
find a fitting complement In the ele-
gance and grace of the parasols which
form a charming corollary to the
other ornate accessories to one's dress
thie season.
Madame la Just now more Intent
upon selecting for herself a number of
pretty specimens of this dainty ad-
junct than she is upon anything else
in connection with her wardrobe, and
the windows of the Rue de la Palx
sops are this week fatrly flooded or,
more correctly speaking. Inflated with
the beautiful new designs. .
The limit seems to have been reach-
ed in extravagance both as regards
material, and styles.
This need not dishearten the dress-
er of moderate tastes, however, as
very pretty effects are attainable for
a small outlay if one is economically
inclined.
A white or a black and white para-
sol. for Instance, may be correctly
worn with any costume, while the
white parasol may be relieved. if so
desired, with the dainty effects of the
new colored borders.
Parasols to match the gown are
quite the correct thing, but this
means, of course, a large outlay for
the purpose.
The chiffon parasol, made of flow-
ered chiffon, finished with ruches of
the same material, is among the latest
models.
The most alluring effects are ob- 1
talned by combining'chiffon with plain
taffeta in white or the reigning tint
in the flowers. The silk,' which is
tucked, covers about half the frame
from the top down. being finished on
the edge with a ruche.
The most beautiful parasols, per-
haps. are made of the art nouveau
silk, with large, shadowy flowers
blending with each other with har-
monious. although hazy colorings;
another fancy, equally pretty, being
the Watteau parasols, with long crook
handles, and dalntly patterned floral
garnitures.
The linen colored parasol is particu-
larly appropriate for the tub dresses,
as our English sisters have dubbed
the season's washable novelties. The
main feature on the more elaborate
of these is the shirring and tucking,
a petal puff at the point being the
newest feature.
This has been named the tulip top.

Now the photos are exhibited in the |

thousands are thronging the place
every day to see them. A good idea
