FOUND SOMETHING new

Yes admitted the girl with the
resort. And I've had the best time.
They were perfectly wonderfully nice
to me-and they entertained continu-
ally.
Il dressed early the first day and
hurried down to the store after a
book on card games before the party
began, because | knew that | was
ignorant of anything except old maid
and I've heard how they played
nothing but bridge whist and such
things. l hated to appear like an
ignoramus.
We'll, by the time the party began
l had mastered the principal rules of
bridge and 500, and l kept repeating
them under my breath, for fear I'd
forget. But when they put out the Ia
bles and we were gathered around
l had them so mixed up that / couldn t
think for the life of me which was
which and | was in cold perspiration
of fear. l knew l was about to ruin
all my prospects of reputation for
having brains!
Then what do you suppose? Boxes
and boards were laid for checkers!
was SO relieved at first that | couldn' t
speak. Of course used to play check
ers when | was young, and l remem-
bered how, so | got along swimming
ly. l never dreamed of explaining
where I'd got my training and couldn't
imagine why they were all SO sur
prised that could beat occasionally.
