The Brdgets held their last regular meet
ing for the season Friday, May Sth, at the
home of Miss NJ. D. Pilsbury. Supper was
served at $50, the members finding their
places at the table by means of pictorial
place cards. After supper bridge was in

surprising difference in the seasons scores,
which were announced at the close of the
evening. The highest score for the season
was 1880, and the lowest 1880. The re-
port of the treasurer was read, but was not
accepted. A feature of the evening was the
unexpected arrival, at intervals during
supper and later in the evening, of seven
handkerchefs, which apparently belonged
to the club member whose engagement was
ecently announced. The four losers are
soon to be the hostesses for their compi-
mentary party to the winners.
