The Thirteen Months Year.

TT Is DIFFICULT to believe that the Gregorian
year of twelve unequal months, with only one of
them twenty-eight days long, wili be replaced, soon
or ever, by a year of thirteen months, each con-
tanning exactly four weeks.
Nobody who has studied the question would DENY,
however, that this second kind of year would be
better in many ways than the present arrange
ment, or that, if the problem were one that had
risen newly for solution, not the twelvemonth but
the thirteen-month year would be established.
Against the change there is one strong argument
it would substitute for a longfixed custom an
other with which nobody now is familiar. That ar.
gument is not without force, but n large and ap-
parently fa~st-growing number of people are bal
ancing against it n considerable array of argu-
ments to which they ascribe force still greater.

The Dividing Bridge.

All society these days is divided into
three parts-those who play bridge
well, those who play bridge badly and
those who sit aroun saying they're
not Interested and don't ever want to
learn to play. And among those who
play for love or for money or Just
for prizes, there are again three divi-
s!ons.
First come those who play in COM
parative silence, obeying every writ
ten and unwritten law and rule of ETH
quette, gravely announcing the bids,
slapping down the cards systematical.

most serious in the universe. Second
is the scrappy. noisy group usually
consisting of husbands and wives or
sisters and brothers.
why did you do this?' why id
fou do that?" You know hearts were
trump" "Why didn't you take me
out?" and such expressions compose
the popular refrain as the tricks
mount up.
The third subdivision is the gossipy
group, generally made up entirely of
women. They start out brave'Y
enough, but between bids; "oh. I say.
did you know Marian S. got her d.
~vorce?' Yes. yes. What u shame"
Then Marian's affairs are discussed
until finally some n notices the
cards and the chatterers drift back
into bidding.
So the ever ready topics of servant
tits n food formulas and fashions
take up long intervals and Between
deals and the game moves along in
differently until it's time for refresh
ments.
So, surely it's the persons who do
play bridge and not the fascinating
game itself TINT drives the third
group of serious obectors TO keep on
Directing to being drawn into the
clique that draws up nightly. or week
ly. to the spindly. green felt covered
tables. in rooms. where cigaret smoke

Whose CHEEKY voice cried out

With h same old hearty greetings
You had heard so Oft before?
Into the light Of your morning star

Who led you to some quiet spot,
Where, bright and pure as evening

You found-all else but love forgot
Every cherished dream come true?
Whose heart beat warm with rap.

To greet us There with welcoming

IT'S such a little way, is why

Is waiting there TO grasp our own.
