A New style Of I1aying which Makes IL
AInch H. the ordinary uame.

New style Of Playing which Makes ~
nfuch Like the Ordinary Game.
Two handed whist Is being played at
some clubs and private parties, and a
variation has been introduced which
makes II resemble more than ever the
regular four-handed game and has In
fused new interest In II. As has been
before explained In The Tribune. the
game Is played by dealing to each OF
the two players one half Of the cards,
one az n time. as In the regular game.
The cards are then placed on the table
In piles OF two. so that each player has
thirteen piles. The top card Of each
pile Is turned mp at the beginning Of
the game. This leaves thirteen cards
In each hand exposed. play begins
with the non-dealer. who plays one OF
his exposed cards. and, as soon as the
trick Is taken. he turns mp the card
that was beneath Il. In this way all
the cards are finally exposed and
played. As two cards make a trick,
there are naturally twenty-six tricks
In all. thirteen Of which II takes to
make book. after scoring which every
trick counts one point. Thus. while II
Il possible to make thirteen points In
one deal, II Is also possible to have no
count whatever. and In actual play II
frequently happens that neither player
makes n point In a particular deal. The
variation OF the game is TO arrange the
cards as before described. when the
non-dealer begins the play. AZ soon as
he has made the play. he turns mp and
exposes the card which was covered
by the card played. The other player
then plays and likewise exposes the
card uncovered. Tho iirst player then
plays another card on the same trick,
again exposing the face OF the card un-
dorneath the one played. II there be
one. and the second player has the last
play. This. OF course. makes only thir-
teen tricks. and the regular rules OF
whist govern In counting the points
The chief recommendation OF the game
Is. OF course. that II Is played by two
persons. and makes an interesting pas
time. There IL more OF an element OF
chance In II than there Is In the regu-
lar game. "a. naturally. II Is impossl-
