fHY is it that the average man is worth so much less in .,money and property than we have a right to expect him to be? It isn't because he don't make the money, for the average man is industrious and has earned from $10,000' to $30,000 in the past ten years. It is because he doesn't give much serious thought either to his income or his outgo. Seri Ous thought would teach him the true value of a dollar; then he would spend carefully and save steadily. That system soon places any man ahead of his fellows. A Bank Account helps you to realize the value of money, makes it easier to handle your financial affairs and to have a growing balance after paying necessary ex penses.

History will parallel most things especially if the,things- are not what they should be. It is one of the sopnd est rules of life to withhold one's con fidence from the man who has discov ered a new evil. When the evil which he believes to be unprecedentd and Iliheard of touches oin society or Oil any of the inniulbterablo form* of public taste and predictions, skepti cism becomes almost a duty. What ever else you may forget please re member that during the excavations of Pompeii large numbers of 'cogged (lice were happened upon. There is a good deal of comfort, and a most salutary moral in that fact. So that I cannot in the least agree with Father Vaughn when he tries to make out that the gambling mania which is sweeping over English society is something peculiar to the year 1906, either in fervor, pervasiveness, or re sultant harip. There may possible be details in it that have not occurred be fore, and could not be paralleled from the history, let us say, of the eigh teenth century-the great gambling age of English annals. Tf so, I am not aware of them. It is constantly said, for instance, that the extent to which girls and young married women gamble nowadays at bridges is entire ly novel; but in the files of the Times for 1797 you will find this illuminat ing paragraph: "At some of our first boarding schools the fair pupils are now taught whist and casino''-not, one suspects, for art's sake alone. And I rather fancy that all the oth er features of the brigde mania, which are roundly denounced as unpreced ented, might, if examined, be found to be merely reproductions of bygone follies. An impartial judgment would probably go no fuirther lian to say that gambling inl English society has now sealed a height unreached since tile Imlos rollieking days of the latter eighteenth and the earlier nineteenth century, that it is certainly more wide spread today than it has been for the last 70 years, and that. while individ uial losses are les,s .ensational than they used to be, the proportionl of gamblers to population was never at any time greater than at this moment. In s.-nall nonessentials there has of course, been a certain change. A hun dred years ago more than one peeress kept gambling shops openly, and ad vertised them as such.-Today it would be more correct to say that. though many a titled woman's house is a gambling shop in substance and prae tice, the fact is not advertised. Short ly bef'ore Queen Victoria caie to the throne Crockford's on St. James street, now the home of the Devon shire Club, was the gambling center of t-he metropolis, and as much as 1,000,00 sterling was known to change hands in a single evening. I do not think that anything like that would lhe possib>le now. Gibbon tells us how he watched Fox lose ?500 an hour for 22 hours on end. That, too, one many fairly class among the incidents of an age that has passed. Tn one of his letters to Horace Mann, Walpole makes thbe astounding statement that a loss of ?100,000 at a single sitting wvas not rare enough to be surprising. It would certainly create some talk nowadays. One of the Braddock sisters gambled away her whole fortune of ?12,000 ini a month. Ladies are luckier- to-day in getting some one to help them out of such p)redlicaments. There is a well known tale of four- men who sat down to whist at Rlaggett's Club one Mon dlay evening, about 1820, and did not rise till 11 o'clock on the followving Wednesday morning, one of them be ing the richer by $30,000. I have not heard of such herculean feats being performed today, anid, indeed, one ha.. only to look at the betting book of Brook's to realize that the age of he roic plungers is dead. For the rest, England is simply liv ing over again the lift of it.s great gian dfa thers--and its great-grand mothers. Society lives to gamble, and a considerable section of it gambles to live. The reign of br-idge for the monment is sup~reme and autocratie. But ini other days roulette had its in nings, and b)accarat and poker and( whiist. The ladies of the regency stayed in dloor's all day, with the blinds drawn. playing faro. The ladies of King Ed1 ward 's reignm are niot. behind them in their devotion to bridge, but who shiall say they are ahead of them . When von hear' any one comp~laining that he is a social outcast because lie canniot play bridge; that house parties are ari-anged simply with a-view to bri'ng, that it is spo&ling dinners 'id weeki end biooting parties, ruining hunitis and1 turning billiard rooms itno de sorts; that the a ug married women refuse to dance. any longer, they leave it t- the airls, who in their turn try n14 han1d it over to the children-and '&H because,of bridge; when' you hear Ie- eI ;Ilpiints as these, bn sure you ale listiiinx to a famentation as old as the hills. No one (-are.,s very inuch to what ex tent men ramble, It is the women gaiblers who provide the moralist with his text. Women rarely play well. and they are invariably bad Iosers. A woman who reached the mnsetiline average could easily dress herself oi her winnings so long a's she had the sense to play only with other women. Few of them have, and the consequences, when a woman owes a man money, are often calamitous. A -rood many mien, perhaps not the least wise in their genreations, refuse to play with women at all. If that rule became universal it would probably le to the advantage of both sexes. As it is. the only people who benefit by the irruption of women into the card room are the pawnbrokers and jewel lers-just as it was 100 years ago, and just as it will be 100 years hence.
