among society folk the game has taken
the place of the o'clock tea parties
which used to mark social life.
Newspapers have warned the govern
ment that Hungarians are becoming a
race of gamblers. One publication says
that even the Stock Exchange suffers
from the "rummy mania" because play

dealing in stocks. Several divorces have
been granted because husband or wife
showed more interest in the game than
in the home.
