The w. c. T. U. educates the pub
Thought editor, on the emotional
drunk, and here is one on the bridge
whist drunk. She is, quite likely, the
most unpopular woman in town, and
one of the best bridge players. She
dislikes to meet, either as a partner
or an adversary, a player that fails
to measure up a good way above the
average in skill. At a party lately she
sat at the same table with the Timid
Woman who plays only a fairly good
hand. After. every play by the T. W..
the Bridge Ffend-ceuld be heard adj
done. eWhyd aiIg you play it so ?"i
"You surely must. know that was a
silly play and so on through the
game. At the close of the AFTERNOON
she addressed the Timid Woman be-
fore the company on all her sins of
omission and commission in a bridge
game. you should learn to play
you, and some day I'll just go over
to your house and show you some of
the most important points of bridge
game
81 thank you," the T. w. replied
sweet1y, you are most kind. 1 never
like to take favors without making
any return, and when you have taught
me bridge, will reciprocate by teach
ing you a few of the most obvious
points of good manners"
