 Bridge bids fair to be as popularsas ever the coming winter. At all the
 leading clubs 1t seems to have taken precedence over all other forms of amusement. Many of those who have
 become proficient in the game have set themselvs up as experts. and are kept busy from morning till night giving in- struction. The best instructors are charging ten dollars an hour for their work, and even at this figure are, obliged to turn away great many applicants. One of the best known

 The law of supply and demand has
 begun to get In it's work with the owners of the large apartment houses on Washington Heights in the neigh .bofhood of 10th street. Last year there were no apartments for rent. but l the agents are telling a different | story this fall and while 1t
 has been customary in the past to give l leases only from October to October,

 Of course the one most talked of | event in New York society at present
 is the approaching wedding of. Miss Vanderbilt to Count Laszle Szechenyi. | owing to the uncertainty as, to the ex act date of the wedding it has been
 impossible for New York's society lead CTS to make definite plans either as 10 going away or for home engage ments. In fact the majority of the dates that have been marked on the
 social calendar have been tentative.
 However, 1t is now believed that the wedding will occur early in January | instead of December, as the first re- ports had it. Incidentally the society | leaders are having some difficulty in | pronouncing the counts name correctly They find Szechenyi difficult combina l tion to twist the tongue around prop
