There Is no doubt about 1t. EIchre
has taken possession of the city. Last
wear ii. seemed that there could not De
| another club in the city. Everybody De-
| longed to at least one. many were menu
bers of two or three. Blu this season
has shown that where euchre clubs are
| concerned there is always room for one
more. It is almost impossible to men
ton all the clubs of this kind. They
meet all nights in the week, all AFTER
| Moons, too. The majority are known as
.sThe~ Euchre Club. Several are called
the Matinee Euchre, a number more are
| called the Afternoon Euchre, and the
| Evening Euchre is the name OF many
more. There are a few clubs with dis
| tinguishing names such as the Six Hand
| ed, the Clifford Avenue Neighborhood, the
| Arlington Avenue Neighborhood and
1.-THE Merry Twelve"
When one considers the great number
of euchre clubs in the city the lack OF
other social diversions seems accounted
for. Who has the time to attend re-
ceptions and dances? Who has the time
to make the necessary arrangements?
Not the euchre players. Euchre absorbs
their time and thought. The prize buy
ing takes what little time is not used in
actually playing cards.
There is one lady in the city who is
said to belong to not less than twelve
euchre clubs. All the clubs are not in the
city. Some are in Newark, some in
Orange, some in New York. She is a
member of the Arlington avenue Neigh
borhood Euchre. Can this lady be ex-
pected to attend receptions and dances?
1t is wonderful if she has time for any
thing but her euchre clubs.
