Until the moon arose,
But through it all brave Dewey and
His girl bought wedding clothes!
Whist is now recognized as the most
fascinating card game and it affords

entitled whist Rules for Long Suit
Play, adopted by the American Whist
League at its last Congress, which

distribution. 1t is a valuable little
work to minister's, and may be hats at
the counting room of the publishers for
