WOMEN AND CARDS.
The Newest Fad Of the Fashionab.

The Newest Fad Of the FashionabI.
Set In New York.
Card playing for money among the
fashionable women OF New York has
become such craze chat they have
found it expedient to emulate the ex
ample Of their husbands and brothers
to that extent that there are few
games now that kitty doesn't play
an important part-that is to say. a
percentage Of the stakes goes to pay
for hired room and refreshments.
The big Broadway and Fifth avenue
hotels are the scenes Of many quiet
little games Of bridge these wintry aft
ern0ons, and here is how they are
arranged: Women who launch upon
shopping Or calling tours IN the morn
ing hours agree to meet for luncheon
at some well known hotel One wo-
man In the party IS designated as
cashier. and she pays the bills. While
the luncheon IS in progress orders arc
given that a room be reserved and the
furniture so arranged that one or TIVE
tables Of bridge can be INDUCED In.
Play starts, and the cashier Of the
party ''cuts" each hand or pot until
sum sufficient to defray the cost Of
the luncheon, hire Of the room and
whatever refreshments might be or
dered while the game is on has been
provided for.
The Waldorf-Astoria, the Knicker-
booker and the New Aston Of the
Broadway hotels and the Plaza. ST.
Regis and Gotham are the favorite
rendezvous just at present for those
women who wish to buck the tiger
outside the prosy confines Of their
homes.
Yes. afternoon bridge parties have
become quite the rage said one Of Tie
managers at the Waldorf d few days
ago ~ Is such an easy matter for
women to meet Id the restaurant and
then adjourn 70 d private room for q
quiet game Of bridge
Run a kitty On, dear. yes. and
there are many lively scenes. I am
told. when some grand dame who hap
