POKER IN BACK BAY.

yiv From the Boston Herald: Very few
' people outside certain circles of the
Bade Bay have any conception of the
extent to which poker playing is car
ried in that section. The whole local
ity is divided into “sets,” and it is cus
tomary for each one to hold a session
•t his or her house nearly every night
In the week. The usual hour for begin
filng to play is 8 o’clock, and it is cus
tomary for the ladles to dress for the
occasion, while the gentlemen not ln
. frequently array themselves in full
evening costume. The standard limit
Is 10 cents, one reason for making it so
small being that the conscientious shall
not feel that they are gambling. Gen
erally there are three hours of play, aft
• er which the hostess asks her guests to
a light repast, consisting of sardines,
crackers, cheese and sweet meats. Bot
tled beer is the favorite beverage, but
there are Instances on record where
something stronger has been indulged
: in. A great many society people of
both sexes drink ruin punch, lemonade
4 dashed with whisky and plain gin. The
: usual time devoted to refreshments is
fifteen minutes, as all are anxious to
’ get at the cards again.
it frequently Happens tnat seven ana
eight players are present at a sitting,
and when everybody “stays” the cards
fall short, which necessitates gathering
up the “dead wood” and filling out the
hands from it. There Is a well-ground*
•f, ed superstition that these discards
V have been robbed of everything of val
ue and that to draw from them is equi
valent to throwing the chips into a red
hot stove. To in a measure meet these
exigencies eleven and twelve spot cards
have been added, making the pack con
sist of sixty cards Instead of fifty-two.
' . Another innovation is the “rlngdoo
. die.” A ringdoodle is declared when a
band has been called and fours are
shown. Then follows a round of Jack
pots, the holder of the winning hand
starting them. Blue chips are put up
■ to correspond with the number of play
I ers. Of coarse a round of 3a ik pots
^ would he equivalent to a ringdoodle,
' hut it eomes easier to some players to
i pay on the installment plan. Then a
regular round of Jacks is declared
1 when a full hand is shown. Two are
i never allowed to play in the modern
game, no matter how good their hands
: may be. A Jack pot always follows.
, There are also buck jacks and Jacks on
the slightest provocation. It has now
become the custom to make a discount
j of one red chip for every Jack pot.
: When the time has crept on toward
, midnight the keeper of the kitty an
nounces that a round of consolation
Jacks will bo played. The chips are
v divided into a number of piles corre
• apondlng with the number of players,
and the extras are placed in the center
« of the table with the individual contri
butions

Death of • Trapplst,
The burial of a Trapplst Is a pecu
liar and solemn ceremony. Immedi
ately after a monk is dead, the body,
dressed in the monastic robe, is stretch
ed on a simple board, the head covered
with the cowl, and then taken to the
monastery chapel. There the body re
mains until the day of Interment, four
yellow wax candles burning all the
time, and all the monks in turn recit
ing the prayers of the liturgy, night
and day. On the day of burial the
prayers for the dead and a requiem
mass are chanted, after which all tho
monks form in procession to follow
their brother to his last resting place.
During the funeral procession psalms
are chanted in the mournful tones pe
culiar to the Trapplst Order. When the
cemetery is reached more, prayers are
recited and then the body Is slowly
lowered into the grave, not in a coffin,
but simply dressed in the monastic
robe worn during life. A monk then
goes down into the grave to cover his
dead brother’s face with a cowl, after*
which the officiating priest slowly
throws a shovelful of earth over the
body. Two other monks do the same,
and then the grave is filled up in the
ordinary way. After the burial the pro
cession returns to the chapel in the
same order.
The Trapplst cemetery is always
placed in the interior yard of the mon
astery, so that the dead may always be
In view of the living, and as soon as
one monk is buried, another grave next
to the one just filled is at once par
tially dug up, that each may see the
place where he may possihly be laid
before long.
