WHEN BRIDGE BECOMES A VICE

The Woman Who Plays the Game Madly Secures
4 Little Real Enjoyment-Lack of Curiosity
aSign of Oncoming Age

vITHAT a queer conception some OF us
NV have of enjoyment The so-called
hours OF ease cannot be given over to
really sane thoughts and pleasures, but
must be filled with the unending mad
rush after the elusive bird Of happiness.
am speaking particularly of those
who have the bridge habit TO such an ex.
tent that It has become vice.
Personally, I rarely play. But one
evening recently was drawn into rub.
Der. Two of us played a rather indiffer.
ent game. but the others were mad on
the subject. One made quick, decisive
plays. the other was more deliberate, but
very sure Of her game.
"A good time may have been had by
all" except myself. Although feeling my.
self nonentity. knew 1 was responsible
for certain number of points. and so
played to the best of my meager ability,
But at the END of the evening 4 was a
rag. Instead OF the quiet, peaceful hours
20 which l had looked forward had been
keyed up all evening, and really was
''all in"
L doubt the pleasure the others may
have gotten out OF it. Those OF you who
are keen about the game will sniff. You
will say you adore bridge, that you al.
ways spend your mornings. your after.
moons or your evenings playing. and that
It provides mental gymnastics, etc. etc.
But 1t always seems rather a queer Gus
tom to me.
