| A rumor comes from New York that
| bridge is about to be superseded by
bid game and the German game Skat
| seems to be having something of a
/ vogue in the eastern smart sets now.
| The game is said to be too complicated,
| however, to attain any general popular
| ity, although, as it is known in Topeka
! its concomitants might be expected to
| do a good deal for it. Speaking of the
rage for bridge and the excuses of
some of its devotees, it is recalled that
the game quadrille had an equal if not
| greater vogue in England in the first
| part of the eighteenth century.
The crusty bachelors who wouldn't
get married for anything in the world
are always trying to apologize for this
| sin of omission Though why, it would
\ be impossible to explain as nobody is
blaming them for IT'D by criticizing the
| girls nowadays" who, they say are so
| frivolous, foolish, tickle and extrava-
CANT that no man would think of marry
| ing one. And all the time the poor girls
are striving only to please and would
willingly make themselves entirely over
and abandon any of their habits or ideas
is not as Lillian Bell said, for men
to cavil at the girls for they are what
the men have made them. Let any
man say. for instance, that he likes
Presbyterian with straight hair and at
least half a dozen nice girls with fluffy
hair and high church tendencies will be-
gin to plaster their refractory locks
and study up on Calvinistic principles"

invited to attend the service.
