THEY PLAYED CARDS.
One Found Herself in a "Chain ;
Charity Game, the Other Had to
Write Home for Funds After Party.

Charity Game. the Other Had to
Write Home for Funds After Party.
1t is well to inquire when one re-
ceives an invitation to party as to
what kind of a party it is. One guest
who was asked to spend and afternoon
at. friendly game of bridge recently,
failed to inquire.
The result was that when her hostess
enthusiastically announced that this
was one Of those "chain" parties, and
that each guest was to contribute a
quarter and then accept the obligations
to give similar party to three Of her
friends, charging each one quarter
and requiring them to go and do like
wise, one of the guests was trif1e dis
gruntled about it; although she did
not think it would be socially discreet
to show it, she was quite Fpeeved. !"
Being conscientious individual she
felt it her duty to pass on the buck,
but she has decided to tell her guests
when she invites them what they will
get into if they accept, and as result
she finds it difficult to fill the three
places at the card table. In the mean
time the other "links'' in the chain
are dragging it along and the quarters
are rolling in for the charity fund.
At the same "sitting' where this
story was told, young matron who is
just returned from weeks visit in
Milwaukee, said she knew of worse
sort of a surprise party than that.
Writes Home for Funds.
"With my hostess I was invited to
q game of auction in Milwaukee. Just
before the game began it was an
nounced that we would play for a half
cent point never had played for
a stake but felt it would be impossi-
BILE to drop out at the eleventh hour
and leave the other three players in
the lurch, so [ ''sat in They were
all good players and they all played
easily and quickly and with luck fairly
divided would have stood chance.
AS it was my partner and I drew Yarl-
borough hands half dozen times in
the evening and if one of us did chance
to have enough in hand to make a
trump invariably the other would have
a hand that just wouldn' t fit with it.
Every inesse either of us made, lost.
Every coup either of us tried, met dis
aster.
When we counted our losses we
found ourselves $15 each to the bad.
| had to give a note as [ had brought
only car fare with me, and before I
went to bed that night I wrote my
husband for funds. And it's never
again for me. Unless I am certain
what kind of game I am getting into
and that it not stake game, I shall
plead the densest ignorance of it and
keep out. -

McsHANE GOES TO OHIO.
Health Officer of Kenosha to Become
Health Director in Big Ohio
City on April 18th,

City on April 10Th.
Kenosha has lost Health Commission
er DR.. John j. McShane, as the city
council of Akron, Ohio, on Monday
night unanimously named him to take
charge of The new department. of health
in that city at a very large advance in
salary and he will become director of
health at Akron about the 18th of
April. DR.. McShane returned to Ke-
nosha this afternoon.
"The position at Akron offers a
great opportunity" he said, "and
while I regret deeply to leave Kenosha
| feel that the opportunity for service
at Akron is such larger field that l
must accept the offer there. [ have
been assured chance to build up a
real health department at Akron. The
council there has appropriated $40, 900
for the first years work and I am
given the assurance that I will have
the complete cooperation Of the Off
Gals of the city and the people as
well. Akron is offering wonderful
field for a man in my profession, but
with all this, I feel deeply the fact
that [ must leave Kenosha to serve
Akron. The people of Kenosha have
treated me with such uniform kindness
and consideration that my great regret
in the whole matter is that l must give
up my work here
DR.. McShane said that he would not
leave for Akron until some time about
the middle of this month.
Members of the board of health when
told that DR.. McShane had accepted
the position at Akron expressed deep
regret eve did not expect to keen
DR.. McShane here very long, said one
of the members OF the board, "but we
were hopeful that he would at least be
permitted to finish this year. We
knew that when the work Of DIR. Nc
Shane became known, that other and
bigger cities would be bidding for his
services. Akron is a city of 10000
people and I suppose that it would be
useless for the board here 10 attempt
to bid against Akron for the services
of McShane. Akron is getting a won
de1ful man for health job. I doubt
if he has a superior in any of the
smaller cities in the country"
The election of a new commissioner
of health will be a matter to be taken
up by the health board and it is ex-
pected that they. will name a new man
at an early session. It is certain that
the members Of the board will not
stand in the light of the advancement
OF DR.. McShane regardless of their re-
greet at his leaving Kenosha.
