There are various ways of playing the game. You can write, or telegraph, to your bank in England instructions to buy francs at current rate when the message gets there, the uncertainty of which rate enhances considerably the pleasing senso of speculation. You can do the same thing to a bank, or a friend, in Paris: which reduces the period of possible fuctuation by some unknown length of time. You can send instructions to buy when the exchange is above, 127 89.50, and take your chance of never getting your franes at all: or you can go round. the banking houses here, when you may receive about a franc below the current DAIRY rate in Paris. There are enough varie ties in play, therefore, to make the gameOUR engrossing. And some curious problems result.

The majority of people are more ensily demoralized; and what does a fag rant overcharge of 10 francs matter when it makes four times 10 francs of differ ence whether red or black turns up once more or less in the course of an hour "I cannot read the prices in shop win dows said an Englishwoman,arcept in terms of white and yellow counters. And now the exchange makes value, more than ever things of little meaning."

That it is other than unwholesome no one has, perhaps, ever contended; but it has its seductiona. Excellent wine can be got for from 7 to 8f. a bottle. But when really delightful vintage are to be bad for 18f or 18f., which, at the present exchange, is only 76. 6d or 8., while the same wines, it procurable at all, would cost 17s in London, it is easy to persuade, oneself that it in a saving of money, ta drink them.

All over the world, to-day values are in a state of flux and every nation is fumbling round to find some sure sale on which it can settle down. But money Always was, perhape, here more lightly reckoned than, anywhere else. And now, with one half the population, as always in winter, seeking only its pleasure, and the other half predatory on it and weighe ed down by the pressure of la vie chére, what can you expect Even the budget of the Casino is a matter on which one! may be permitted to speculate. If the cost of all things is raised to moro, then twice the pre-war standard, how can it recoup itself 1 Can it increase the odds in favour of the table by multiplying zeros or by paying. 30 where now, it pays 35 on a single number1 Or can it faise the minimum risk and make the public play at roulette (as at trente el quarante) only in loud instead of five frana-pieces Or would not the result of either be merely to reduce the volume of play 1
