grudging admiration for the poise
and the indifference to surroundings
which mark the bridge addict.
The Hollywood documentary Of
the sinking Of the Titanic showed
passengers playing bridge at a time
when more normal persons were
vesting themselves in kapok and
contemplating a moonlight dip, !.
Nevertheless, il must be ac-
knowledged that bridge has its ad-
v~antages. The average bridge game
occupies little more space than a
medium-sized mud puddle.
1t is low enough to the ground
that two people can easily talk over
the heads of the participants. AS a
matter of fact. it can be stated as
a general principle that ii is not
at all hard to talk over the head of
a bridge player.
Bridge is a quiet game. yet it
has all the super-charged excite
ment Of a game Of mumbly-peg II
develops keen powers Of analysis.
and an intuitive instinct that can
quickly strip the Pinky Lee Show Of
all It's mental challenger.
But. best Of all, bridge reduces
to virtual silence a group Of people
who, Judging BY their card-playing
tenacity. would be inSufferable. ar
gumentative bores II turned loose
in normal society.
Help stamp Out bridge You can
do your part EN- destroying every

bridge, set the group on their heels
with a burst Of impassioned de-
nouncement.

Today, bridge is regarded as
almost a social necessity. 1t is esti-

players in the United States That

manac has to say about bridge. My
opinion Of 1t is somewhat different.
| think that bridge should be
eliminated on the grounds that it
is a social evil, In the early medi-
eVal period, Switchboard was out
lawed because the men spent more
time playing Switchboard than they
did practicing archery, and the
kings thought an able army more
desirable than a top-notch shuttle
board team. This example VIII give
a good general notion Of what should
be done with bridge.
The facility with which bridge
can work itself into ones daily Ak
