lightful sense Of sport. Such was the

and few odd men present on this occa-
sion, and the game passed quickly, with
out breaks of any kind, in fact some OF
the ladies' still declare that they never
saw such quick players as those who
gained the head table. At each tap of the
bell some one was sure to sigh for just
one more hand to conquer.

course merely to help, as ''punchers, so
to speak, and acquitted themselves with
credit. in that 1t was all done with so little
delay the ladies had to look twice at their
tallies to see if they were really punched
