tainments.
OF her entertainments the most remark
able stories are told. One Of the most
talked about was umbrella dinner
given in the late 90s, each guest being
shaded by a costly umbrella. Her might
in Japan" given to 100 guests, afforded
the New York Jenkinses almost as severe
case Of hysteria the famous James
Hazen Hyde dinner, which preceded the
insurance upheaval in which her husband
is now so prominent q figure. On the night
of st. Valentines day, 1903, she had the
Chinese Honeymoon" company give per-
Torrance for the benefit of guests at her
house
These are only a few of the remarkable
functions to her credit in the social annals
of New York and while there has. no
doubt, been some exaggeration in the news
paper accounts of her sayings and doings,
she really Is a daring woman socially.
stuyvesant Fish Homes.
There are three stuyvesant Fish homes;
one on 18th street, in New York Glen
clyffe," at Garrisons-on-the-H Hudson, oppo-
site West Point, and the celebrated Cross
ways" the cottage at Newport, which. like
most cottages" at that summer capital of
fashion, resembles a palace more than 1t
does a real cottage.
Stuyyesant Fish spent much of his boy
hood at Glenclyffe. and there used often to
take his college friends for weekend recre-
alton. There is story that one Saturday
night he and his guests devoted some hours
to the study of draw poker. Next day, as
all who were staying IN the house invari-
ably did, young Fish and his student
guests all went to church. The text was:
And Ephraim went out with a full
hand"
Remembering some OF the previous even
ing's incidents, Stuyvesant had hard work
TO keep his face straight when the text was
Ha col Of oil xx-Iaa
of his friends leaned over and whispered
huskily in his ear:
Say. Stuyve, what a chump Ephraim
must have been!"
The social wars with which Mrs. Fish
has been credited have been as exciting as
her husbands wars in railroading have
been or the present insurance war is likely
to be, and she has had as much nerve In
prosecuting them as he has ever shown.
She has been credited with saying that
she wished she were man; If she were
she would 'go into politics. which she was
sure would prove much more interesting
than society.

game for society, game for the
masses. Lighter and less serious than
whist yet possessing chances for science to
such a degree that it is worth real study.
The game becomes more and more interest
ing and greater pleasure as one begins
to analyze hands. learns TO outwit the ad-
versary and to make the small cards count.
The fascination of bridge Is Its combina-
ton of skill and luck. There is an immense
amount Of luck in it-luck through the
honor score and luck in having a good hand
when you are the dealer. How often 1t
seems to bridge player that when he has
the make" his hands are poor and he is
hunting around to know what to do and
then, when he has no chance he has three
aces or four honors in hearts. But such is
bridge, and men and women would have 1t
no different. That element of chance gives
always ready for lone more rubber
A Few Preliminary Suggestions.
Be careful TO avoid all mannerisms at
the bridge table. 1t is not only bad form,
but often gives important information as
to your hand; If to your partner, then
1t is unfair, and if to the opponent he can
take advantage of it.
Never make a remark about your hand
before the play. Many a rubber has been
won by finessing against such cards." said
with disgust before the hand was opened.
Arrange your cards, suits together, and
each suit in numerical order, that the
the lowest card. Alternate the color of the
suits. black and then red to prevent as
much as possible the chance of a revoke.
Make mental note of the number you
hold in each suit. If, late in the hand your
memory is dim to what has been played
Of suit, or what is now the commanding
card ability to recall what or how many
you originally held oftentimes will bring
back to you the entire play of it.
If you are the dealer, be sure you look
over the hand well before declaring the
trump for, once having made a declaration,
you cannot retract it
As to "No Trumps."
First consider the possibility of making
it mo trump or without" Four aces, of
course, make the ideal mo trump hand,
but, fortunately for the other side, one sell
dom gets them.
Three aces or their equivalent Is a good
rule for mo trump make-the king and
queen of a suit or king and jack of suit
being equivalent to an ace. Thus:

is no trump, the king and queen of clubs
and the king and jack of hearts being
equivalent to an ace in each of those suits
Sometimes. in using this rule one may
