5 Whist. the game of games, intellectual,
fascinating. even allur,ng. has taken de-
o cided stand in the city. While euchre has
Z for some time held sway in Wheeling, and
likely 70 lose but little OF its popularity for
Z some time 10 come, the game of whist IS on
the increase. and many of our society peo-
pie are each month added 10 the list of dew
Otees. There is little doubt but that whist
is triumphant among all the games OF cards.
Now, one word about popular phase Of
the game known rs drive whist This is
especially adapted for social gatherings,
but, strange TO say, is played differently
in various cities. Not infre-
lQuently the contests are on the
Il weu-knOwn progressive plan, but the
proper conception of drive whist as the
name implies, would seem 70 be that the
winners at the respective tables should re
main. and drive" the vanQuished, the lat
ter % rotate 10 other tables Another mat
ter which would seem TO be well 70 observe
+ is that Of keeping the number OF odd tricks
, made by the individual players, and award
! | ing the prizes accordingly instead OF by
p tables or seals. This would seem 10 be the
=. only correct way of determining the rela-
- tive merit or rather. perhaps, the relative
work Of the PLAYERS for the evening. BY
the old system il frequently happens that
q participants may have reached the head
table fewer tipes, received less NUMBER
OF seals. and vet have made more points IN
the aggregate.

Z for early in January.
Among coming events that are causing
a futter in iridescent circles are twonot-
liable church weddings that will mark the
early incoming year. They will be notable
