RULING IS FOOLISH,
SAYS CLUBWOMAN
Order Against Sending Invita-
tions to Bridge Parties
Through Mail Arouses Ire
Fair Devotees of the Game Don't
Like Idea of Resorting to
the Telephone

Society women are eagerly awaiting
a final ruling in regard to tho exclusion
of invitations to bridge whist parties
from the mails. Some suggest that the
telephone company Is trying to force
the telephoning Of the invitations In
order to increase It's revenue, while
others contend that It Is none Of the
departments business what Is In q let
ter as long as It lis properly stamped
Some regretfully call attention to tho
fact that the attorney generals opinion
was not announced until after the pres
idential election and see sinister mo-
! tive In Its being withheld until this
time It surely would have taken
precedence over discussions of the tar
iff If 1t had been announced prior to
November 8.
In the meantime the local postofioe
authorities have not received any noti-
fication from the department to ex-
clude the invitations. but Postal In
spector O'Conneu has announced as his
opinion that tho dainty missives are
under the ban No action will be taken
In such cases, however, until a formal
notification of the attorney generals
opinion is received
IT'S NOBoDY,S BUSINESS
Il do not think 1t is anybody's busi-
ness whether an envelope contains an
invitation TO bridge party or not II
the proper postage IS paid" said Mrs.
Robert Chester Foute last evening.
I'VE viii have to obey the law,
guess" commented Mrs. Andrew Welch
Jr., in regretful tone.
THE ruling Is certainly very foolish,
but how can you avoid obeyingf Just
think Of having to telephone" said
Mrs. James K. Steele, when asked for
an opinion on the matter.
II think all of this Is just newspaper
talk. but play bridge very little, any,
F., how, so am not alarmed" was the ex-
preston OF Mrs. Richard Bayne.
The opinions Of other society women
were also secured and 1t was apparent
IN a conservative way, they deeply re-
their amusements. Several suggested
that the government could occupy it
self to much better advantage by reg
uIating the trusts and not warning on
women"
Postal Inspector James O'Conneu was
the only man In San Francisco who
displayed the courage necessary to ex-
attorney general.
Not only is 1t a violation OF the
postal regulations to send invitations
to prize card games through the mails,
but It IS also a violation for a person
to mail an acceptance OF the invita-
/ tion," said OConnell.
THE department would certainly be
forced to take cognizance of any COM
plant for the sending of these invita-
tions under section 49s, which clearly
| explains the matter. Any one violating
this section by sending any matter per-
tanning to a game of chance through
the mails is liable to a fine of $500 or
Imprisonment for one year, or both"
