I am iui'orined that one reason of the little rift wíthin -the Perugini lute consisted iu Miss Russell's predileotiou for poker. This is a, science to which the golden diva has devoted much study. She likes a game of poker and plays it ou the strict rules laid down by General Schenck. Her parties for this diversión are usually coinposed of four or five people, each of whorn is a millionaire. But Miss Russell's income averages $50, 000, and she can afford to play. The limit is high and the betting lively. Signor Perugini, whose salary is only $150 a week, could not sit down at such a game without risking his entire week's earnings. Consequently he was ruled out and had to solace himself with sentimental arias up stairs while his wife was winning or losing a fortune down stairs. This isolation brought diaquietude to his thoughts, and next morning he was perhaps not so cheerful a companion as a diva would wish at the breakfast table.
