BRIDGE WHIST AND POKER.

Whence came the involved punctil-

of bridge whist? The study of It's
DEVELOPMENT must be quite as inter
esting as the study of the game it.
self: for no lone philosopher or soli-
tary satirist ever evolved that signi-
ficant interchange of comfy. 1t is
the gradual accretion of ages of
mortal cynicism, doubt suspicion
and social veneer. 1t is the
refinement of slander on human ma
ture; an elegant expression of the
belief that the baser motives rule
the heart. There may be loftier
systems of moral conduct. but no
truer epitome of human standards
was ever invented or developed than
the ethics of bridge whist, whose re-
quirements of two decks, cross
shuffling, back cutting, and strin-
gent penalties for irregular play re-
fleet mankind's doubt of his fellow
man, and whose delicately shaded
etiquette cloaks suspicion in the
hypocritical garb of polite inter-
course. Bridge whist is old country
bred in its sophistication, scarcely
recognizable as cousin german to the
shirt sleeve game of poker, wherein
the player, who is afraid to turn his
head. spits in his beard. and re-
marks, "Lemme cut them cards. 1t
might save funeral expenses"
