GAMBLING IN SOCIETY,

CONSOLING REFLECTIONS FOR THE

PESSIMIST OF TO-DAY.

History will parallel most thing-especially if things are not what they should be.' It is one of the soundest roles of life to withhold one's confidence from, the man who has dis covered à un avil. When the evil which he believes to be unprecedented and unheard of touches on soceity on any of the innumerable forms of public taste and predilections, scepticism becomes almost a duty. Whatever else you may forget, please remember that during the excavations of Pompaŝi large num- ber of cogged dice were happened upon. There is a good deal of comfort, and most salutary moral, in that fact:

All round one, for instance, temperance agitators are proclaiming that never was the drink habit such a curse to England as at this: p moment. Artists are invelgbing against the domination of portrait-painting. Musicians believe that the trivialities of light opera are more pervasive and demoralising to-day than ever before. Dramatic critics are perfectly certain that the stage was never so completely under the way of glitter, vulgarity, and the **scenic artist." Social reformers speak: an though the passion for getting rich in a hurry marked out this age from all others; and 'men of letters have an impassioned conviction 'that riff-raff of literature were kept in. their proper place by the healthier taste of former times,

HOW OUR ANCESTORS, LIVED. And every one of them is hopelessly wrong. Artists, for example, who believe that pura art is suffering more at this moment from the vanities of portrait-painting than at any pre- All broken, chofed, and damaged Goods arevious period, may turn with profit to Kneller's

'So that I cannot in the least agree with Father Vaughan when he tries to make out that the gambling mania which is sweeping. over English society is something peculiar to the year 1906 in resultant harm. There may possibly be details in it that have not occurred before, and could not be paralleled from the history, let us say, of the eighteenth century- the great gambling age of English annals.

last seventy years; and that, while individual losses are less sensational than they used to be, the proportion of gamblers to population was never at any time greater than at this moment, In small non-essentials there has, of course, heen a certain change. A hundred years ago more than one peeress kept gambling shops openly, and advertised 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 practice, the fact is not advertised. Shor.ly before Queen Victoria came to the throne, Crockford's on St. James's street, now the home of the Devonshire Club, was the gambling centre of the metropolis, and as much as a million sterling was known to change hands in a single evening.
