|ANE R|CAi WOMEN
PLAY BEST BRIDGE
Lady Lister-Kaye and Mrs.
Mackey Astonish Society.
PROFICIENT At THE GAME
Duchess of Devonshire ousted From
Place of Premier Player of
England.

LONDON. Feb. 1s--It is being remark
ed OF two prominent American women
IN London society that they can fairly
claim TO be champions at bridge.
Not only have they yet to meet de-
feat. but they have several times ex-
pressed their willingness to try con-
clusfons with any other two players
male or female-and found no takers.
These two bridge experts are Mrs.
Frank Mackey and Lady Lister-Kaye
No Longer Premier.
1t was considered at one time that the
Duchess of DevonsIlire could give points
| to any player in England, but at
bridge party at Devonshire House one
evening not long ago Mrs. Frank
Mackey easily established her super.
iority over the duchess.
1t was the first time that. her grace
met defeat since she commenced to be
recognized as d star performer.
since queen Alexandra expressed her
disapproya1 of bridge playing for high
| stakes the Duchess of Devonshire's
| enthusiasm for the game has waned,
and her friends say she is not now the
brilliant player she once was.
Brilliant Parties Ahead.
Mrs. Frank Maekey is expected TO
have some brilliant bridge parties when
she comes to town for the season. Lady
Lister-Kaye is fine, steady player
who keeps cool head even amidst the
greatest excitement. but in spite Of her
devotion TO the game she will not be
induced to play for high stakes.
She maintains that playing for high
stakes involves such a nervous strain
that the pleasure derived from the game
is entirely lost
Game Still Popular.
The colossal preparations being made
for the conversion of the West End
under the leadership OF the American
revivaIists, have not diminished the
popularity of bridge among the social
elect

"Leisured Women"

NO one has moral right to waste
time. This is a concluding sentence of
Mrs. Russell Sageis article in November
North American, on the Responsibilities
of LeiSured Women" The whole article
is Il telling protest against the idlencSs
of women who do not have to work. She
refers to two clasSCs-yOung ladies with
an interim of five to ten years between
school days and marriage, and rich wo-
men, who employ somebody else to do
everything for them.
Mrs Sage speaks for her sex in elo-
qnent tones. but notes the sad conse-
qucnccS of the neglect of duty among
lciAwed lives. Work is the only sup
port of true character, as it is the only
condition Of happiness and this is first
enjoned-the necessity of doing some
thing useful. Leisure is the mother of
SclhShnesS, and this brings with it so
many evils. The leiSurcd woman should
have some real wOrk-in art, in charity,
in civics, in moras-some good thing to
occupy her mind and to engage her
thoughts. In civics woman is deeply in
teTc>ted. To organize in advance the
health, the morals, the beauty, the order
of ones town or city is Il task that
women can do as well as men; and the
woman who engages in such efforts is

Patterson, N. j., Thrilled BY Young

patterson, \. j., recently witnessed the
spectacle of a young woman. as earnest
as she is good looking, presiding over a
throng Of GOO social outcastS who had
crowded into a saloon. The place hither-

Mr. and Mrs. William Asher, a young
and earnest couple of religious workers
members Of the flock of revivulsts now
carrying the northern portion of New

meeting in Cogan Il Luhy's saloon and

Mr.. Asher talked to the men who were
attracted by the novelty of the meeting,
while Mrs Asher thrilled and inspired
then by her singing.

these human drvchcts had denounced
their present mode of living. and asked
the couple to guide them on the way to n

As the woman sang. gradually the bet
Ter life which the men had once known
began 10 assert itself and before the
meeting war well under way they added
respectful ard ~ubdued voice to her
music.
The climax of religious enthusiasm
came when, at the finish of one song, n
haf dozen men S.HaE& to their feet and
led their fellows in singing Nearer Nv
