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

Return of tho Prodigal With
and a Largo Cheok.
Old home week had come, and the
returned sons and grandsons were
gathered together. 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

Coiiiinltteert Meet to Select ' IMaoc of
Next Convention.
Lakewood, N. J., May 4. 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. The Windy City has not had
a convention since me worm a rir
year.
