Admit Tlutt Practice rre vails, But Say It In Deplorable and that No 8'lf-KeHiecUiig Women . Indulge Utile Attempt Made to Deny GatheriniM In Fiwlilonable Apartment and Uptown Hotels Gaines Itun Nightly. The exposure of the New York World of tho ooker craze that hai taken hold "of New York women caus cd much uneasiness in the many mall circles In which games have been running nightly. Little attempt was made to deny the gatherings In fashionable apart ments and uptown hotels. That chip; have clicked with the regularity of clock ticks In many apartments, un der the cover of Informal afternoon teas, clerks and bell boys well know. Among the clergy tho revelation ' that members of the fashionable churches were "entertaining" on green cloth tables came as & great surprise but only In the extent of the practice. Several preachers after service ex pressed their opinion on the subject Deplorable, Kays Dr.' Durcll. The Rev. David James Burrell, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Re formed church at Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, said he was op posed to gambling In any form, and that the practice among women Is de plorable. "I know there Is much of It going on among the so-called smart set," he .said, "but no self-respecting wo man will play poker or gamble In any form." The Rev. George Clark Peek of St. Andrew's church In West Seventy sixth street, near Columbus avenue, said: "I am not astonished that women of the west side have taken to poker and bridge. They have so much time on their hands that they have turn ed to cards. It Is difficult to believe they would resort to such a practice. Like a woman smoking It Is bad enough for a man to gamble; but far worse for a woman to do so." The Rev. William Shaefe Chase, rector of Christ Episcopal church at Bedford and Davidson avenues, Wil liamsburg, who was one of the active crusaders against Sunday shows and racetrack gamblkig, sold: "Mjr attention was called to the ar ticle In the World today by one of my parishioners. I know there Is much can gambling among women going cr.. I fear race track gambling has educated vomen In this sort of game of chance. It Is one reason why race track betting is more dangerous to the community than the poolrooms are. Women never would have gam bled had It not been for the race tracks. I wish It could be broken up. "I believe a distinction should be drawn between private betting and the business of betting. The law nev er touches those who wager prlvatel but I think those who tempt others to gamble, particularly women, ought to be punished." No Self-Roqxvtlng Woman Gamble Mrs. Clarence Burns said she had read with much Interest and aston ishment the article In the World. "I feel sure that the craze has ta ken hold of only a certain class , of women," she said. "Undoubtedly there Is much gambling going on among women. They are taken In by the attending excitement of the game and the chance of winning, but not for long. After tho first 111 luck they attempt to retrieve their losses and then awake to their folly. "I do not think for a moment, however, that women of any standing ploy any part In tho game. No self respecting woman would sit down at a table and gamble. No one need fear that gambling will ever Invade the real New York homes. "For my part I do not believe In games of chances of any kind where even pin money is Involved. If one does not care to play cards for skill or amusement It Is best to leave them alone." THE GARTER. Insignia of the Most Coveted of All English Orders. Although the most coveted of Eng lish orders, the origin of the Garter Is really a mystery. Conflicting . authorities assign the foundation of the order either to the 23d of April, St. George's day, 1314, or to the same. fetval five j'eqra later, wLfle the" popular anecdote associated with it la that at a court ceremony a lady either the queen, the Countess of Salisbury or tho Countess of Kent happened to drop her garter, which was picked up by King Edward III., who, observing a disposition to laugh among the bystanders, exclaimed In bis royal displeasure, "Iloni solt qui mal y pense" (disgraced be be who thinks ill of It). The reigning monarch Is, of course, ex officio the sovereign of the Order of the Garter. At first the garter was made of light blue silk, but that which la now given la made of dark blue velvet It Is worn on the left leg a little below the knee. The Order of the Garter as an order of chivalry bus a very deep religious significance. It la, or should be, at tended by religious ceremonies of very precise and ornate character, and It was reported in Victoria's reign that a certain nobleman hesitated aa to ae ceptlng the honor, on account of its baring been conferred on an oriental potentate.

One after another they rose and told with pardonable pride their achievements in the great world, impressing their Importance on (be stay at homes. At length Mr, Jameson spoke: "I went away from here twenty years ago poor young man, with only one solitary dollar in my pocket. 1 walked the fonr miles from my fa titer's (arm to the station, and there I begged a ride to Boston on a freight cor. Last night I drove into town be hind a spirited pair of horses, and my purse guess bow much my purse holds In money today, besides a large check," and Mr. Jameson looked about him with a smile. 'Fifty dollar.!" . "Seventy-Aver "A hundred!' shouted the boys, filled with admiration. "No," said Mr. Jameson, drawing a large, flat purse from his pocket when the clamor bad subsided, "none of you has guessed light When I had paid the 26 cents to Ouy Bogga for my re freshing drive in the coach I had, be tides my trunk check (which I retain ed for financial reasons), exactly 4 cents. I have come back, my friends, to stay. Any little jobs of sawing and splitting will be gratefully receiv ed." Woman's Home Companion. Our Names Lack "Color." At an early period, and indeed well toward the beginning of modern his tory, proper names told something aa to ' paternity, occupation and habita tion. Today they are quite colorless. A new Ulysses would no longer be Laertldes. No Peter Indicates that be la the son of Paul. A Carpenter or a Weaver is likely to be a lily fingered stockbroker.

Members of the various committees of the American Bankers' association met today at the Laurel-ln-the-Plnes hotel and will remain In session for three or four days. The principal matter to be decided is the selection of a place for the next national conven tion ' of the association. Invitations have been received from commercial bodies of Saratoga, N. Y., Denver', Col., and Hot Springs, Ark. The in vitation from Saratoga Is reinforced by promises of support by tho bank ers of Albany, Schenectady, Troy and Glens Falls. Consideration of the matter was commenced today by the executive council, and a decision Is expected late today or tomorrow. As the na tional convention of bankers was held in tho east last year, there Is appar ently an Inclination to seek the west this time. Chicago has been men tioned as the possible place for the gathering, and may make a strong bid for the meeting at today's con ference.
