| LONDON, May 2l.-The bridge
whist craze is again agitating society
and club circles and quite a revolt
is rising against the game. Archdea-
con Sinclair of London. leading
member of the church and society and
one OF the originators of the now sue
cessful Pilgrims club, was very fierce
in his Indictment of this game.
| Playing bridge whist for high
stakes he says, has become griev-
Gus evil, and from what | hear is Sc
riously on the increase. The present
| period reminds one of the days of the
regency, when women of high posi-
ton remained indoors throughout the
day with the blinds drawn. playing
| faro.
II have recently heard of cases in
which young girls started playing
bridge on Sunday Immediately after
breakfast, and continued playing all
| day. No man, who is man, should
allow his womankind to gamble and
| become in debt to other men. The
consequences of such state of af-
fairs will not even bear discussion.
The only way to check this grow
ing evil is for women of really high
position and high principle to form a
league against playing bridge by
| women. There are many women who
dislike this gambling intensely who
could, if combined, exert an immense
| influence throughout the country"
A member of the Portland and Turf
clubs, who, although devotee OF
bridge. regards with aversion the
| reckless gambling of fashionable
women and would-be smart men, said;
II feel today as many other men do.
that something must be done to
check gambling, at any rate among
them, absolutely refuse to play bridge
with women. Women have been
known to stand up when they have
lost three rubbers and hysterically
accuse some unfortunate male players
of cheating them, before roomful OF
people,
In clubs which never We're card
playing clubs they are playing bridge
for higher stakes than ever. while in
country houses life is becoming i'm
possible because of the game.
