under the impression that she was being taught the game, and not having the faintest idea that she was playing for money, became frightened and wired for her father. He came down post haste, gave the hostess piece of his mind, and fiatly declined to pay the money.
 Bridge owes it's popularity to the fact that 1t is game of quick returns, a gambling game, where you are bound, save in exceptional cases. to pile up big score one way or the other in even an hours play. Society loves a gamble, but it's men and women love even better the thought that they have outreached an op- ponent by superior cunning. Bridge af- fords them both sensations. It is the con junction of the two which has brought about its popularity in London.
 ''It is argued by some of the defenders of bridge that high play is nothing new; that the beaux and dandies of earlier days staked their guineas more recklessly than do the gamesters of the present gen. eration. But the difference is this: When the world was younger a cheat was doom- ed. however high his birth. Today many man plays bridge with the knowledge that he cannot pay and that 'alrs fair. |"

two out of the three cases women have been implicated.
 "A well known financier told me re- gently that during the last year he has received scores of letters from ladies of position asking him to pay debts con- tracted at bridge. Some of these people he knew. but the majority were absolute strangers to him. In nearly every case they declared they had not the courage to tell their husbands
 "In the smart clubs bridge has de- stroyed the art of conversation. Mem bers disappear into the card room im- mediately after dinner.

''The crusade shaping against this de- moralizing social condition, which is mak- ing gamblers and cheats of women as well as men, is fathered by such men as the bishop of London and Canon Hensley Henson of St. Pauls cathedral Wives Of several bishops have signified their in- tention of forming a Ladies' League, which will direct it's efforts to persuading well known hostesses to prevent gambling in their own houses among their women guests, and especially among young girls. Many hostesses, the Duchess of Portland among them, have refused all along to allow gambling at their house parties, anu III SOLle rare lHStdIlCeS DrluB6 4S dlIQ- gether forbidden.

Yet the most extravagant conception of Amer lean get-rich-quick competitions possessed by the average untraveled Englishman is not so extravagant or so deserving of condemnation as is the present bridge fever
 "One prominent ecclesiastic declares that the Salvation Army and the rescue missions might, with profit. turn their at- tention to the West End and try to save some of the girl gamblers who spend their time and, money in a hopeless en- deavor to become experts at bridge.
 Some hostesses deliberately entrap the unwary. A case in point: A girl was asked to spend a weekend with form CT school friend in the country In the letter of invitation she was told that she would be taught bridge. Toward the end of her stay she was informed by her hostess that her liabilities amounted to 40 pounds. The girl

Winter, who had played at the club in New York were summering at Lons Branch, where number of the New York bridge faction was also spending the summer. He taught them the game and they on their return home introduced 1t in Montgomery.
 The players who became at once inter- ested in the game were Mrs Wm. Shoe maker. Judge and Mrs R C. Briekle and Mrs. Julia Hartwell.
 The "troubIe'' is not more than two years old here, and the guilty culprit who fought through the quarantine Montgomery generally establishes against the new" can not be pointed out. To several it is accredited and several claim the honor, but the above is the true story.
 Among the best players in Montgomery are perhaps:
 MT. and Mrs. Louis B. Farley, Judge and Mrs. J. G. Winter, Mir. and Mrs. J. K. Jackson. Mrs. s. G. w. Thorington, MT. and Mrs. J. L. Hall, MT. and Mrs. Phares Coleman. Mrs. Phillipi Stratford. Misses Elizabeth Winter. Annie Lou Chiffon, Bessie Thorington. Caroline Hannon, Mary Hannon, Kate Bureh, Mary Hannon, Kate Davidson, Margaret Lahey, Messrs. J, P. oConnor, Temple Seibles, Kent K. Perrott, T. M. Mo Clelland. Edwin Joseph, Thad. Watts, Gaston Gunter, Percey Wyatt, w. w. Lodge, Thomas Arlington, Dave Whet- stone. Middleton Michel, J. I. Mckinney. Isaac DeWees.
 nmany large cities bridge whist has risen above-or sunk below-the level of mere social pastime, and become purely gambling feature. This Is said to be the cause of the press crusade against the game.
 The following is written by London correspondent in The Pittsburg Dispatch on the subject of bridge whist:
 "A mighty crusade against bridge threatens to convulse London society The cabled accounts of gambling in smart circles have by no means been overdone. On the contrary. 1t is safe to say that half the truth has not been told and that some grave scandals are on the verge of publicity as a result of this re- markable mania. During the past winter there have been three serious scandals at big country houses, at which implica- tions of cheating were freely made. In
