For the first time since bridge was intro
duced in Omaha social circles several sea-
sons ago. the devotecs OF the game admit
that they are tired Of II and are looking
elsewhere for amusement. The puzzls
craze does not seem to take the place
Of bridge. In the first place anyone from
the children to the grandparents can
while away the time with puzzles. but
with bridge It takes a season to learn,
and only a few become expert. Prob
ably the principal reason for the decline
Of bridge is that there are so many club
meetings each week. that after one has
accepted the invitations to two or three
parties, besides the club meetings 1t
loses It's novelty.

golf and ennis and members OF the vari-
Gus outdoor clubs are longing for the
chirp OF the birds and the appearance of
the green mat on the fields, those assur.
ances that II Is time to get out the golf
clubs and prepare for another summer of
pleasure. The ever popular dance at the
Field club twice each week may be twice
as popular as ever and still not crowd
the participants because the dance floor
has been doubled In size. The dining room
space has been nearly doubled and other
improvements lay been made. The win
ter season of bridge and theaters and
dances Is all right in a way but It does not
take the place of Gods great out-of-doors
for those who have learned to enjoy them
selves in the fresh air.
