Broke Up Bridge Whist Club
Tempered Leader Of Society Slapped Her Partners Face
in Rage Over What She Considered Msplay-Ioo
Many Women Involved for Affair to be Kept Secret

One bridge club has recently gone
out of existence and it's last meeting
is scarcely mentioned by the members
to the outside world, says the New
York. Sun. The list Of the members
reads like page out of the social
register. Even that fact, however,
could not save it from disruption after
the exciting incidents that marked the
last meeting.
One of the players was a woman
whose social position is as well estab-
lished as the fact that she has a vio-
lent temper, which she has never
found it necessary to control. Her
partner was a. much younger woman,
who thought she was doing as we'll as
she could with her cards.
Her high-tempered partner did not
agree with her. She repeatedly showed
her disapproval of the others plays.
After one that especially displeased
her she lost all self>control, and lean
ing forward she slapped the offending
partner on the cheek.
. All the women jumped to their feet.
The astonished hostess rushed across
the room. The irate player had just
raised her hand to apply another slap
to her unfortunate. partner when the
hostess attempted, to separate the
two <'f:s =. T.. - ~, f. :. =

such that she fell under the table.

The Peach and Pear Crop
Almost Failure. Plenty
of Potatoes and Tomatoes.

According to the latest estimation of
officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
the peach crop this year will be very
poor. Last year the market was glutted
with the fruit. but the season was one
of the most prosperous ever known. This
years crop will be less than 500.O bask-
cts, and the price will be so high as to
make the fruit "a real luxury in many
homes The smallness of the crop is
due to the frosts in May and the June
drop. which is greater than had been
anticipated. The farmers this year will
be able to secure their own prices from
the commission men. who heretofore
had the bidding at the peach sales their
own way. The commission mems prices
to the consumer, accordingly will be
high. Peaches last year that brought
80 cents per basket early in the season
will be more than double in price. Those
of the higher varieties will soar upward
in price.
