One nigiab he had three friends in at our hous.e, and they played that horrid game until nearly half-past three- m the
morning." ' "My!" exclaimed the other woman, 'the one .with the bulky wair.t. "And does he lose much money?" "No-o," says thq first one, "ho hasn't really lost any money. In fact, he's been winning a little bit. But then that doesn't make it right. I would be opposed to gambling, no matter how much he might win, and just as soon as my husband wins enough to finish paying por my spring; clothes that I've picked out I'mgoing to m^kehim stop it. if ho doesn't I'll leave hiim I just nnnply won't- live with! a man who's a gambler."
