 Eight o'clock
 | A clever surprise at the bridge game which makes the party live up to its name is having all of the club cards in the deck painted green and calling them shamrocks throughout the game. A variety in playing is also introduced by arbitrarily an- nouncing for any particular hand that shamrocks are trumps The prize could be given to the partners who win at the shamrock games rather than the usual rubber. A green potted plant Is suggested q suitable prize. If something more elaborate is desired, a snake-skin purse or bill fold would be appro- | priate.
