That there are a great many people who | play for money it well known. But In the rank and file of bridge clubs this is not true. An authority on the game declares that probably not more than 10 per cent of the devotees of the bridge table play for stakes “'henlzhe game s played for money it is | usualiy fof { or 5 cents a point, although in many instances the stakes are $5. It is sald that in only a very few cases do pro- tessionals at the game make much of a liying out of it.

A few years ago there was a game at Sara- | toga which lasted for twenty-four hours in which the stakes were $ a point. A story {8 told of another game at this | resort, in which a young man was asked to make up the set. He inquired as to what the table stakes were. “Five,’ was | the laconic answer: The young man poined | In the game and played for several hours At the end of the sitting he thought he had | won about $30.

Most men object to their wives playing for money at bridge aven though they them- are | selves are frequenters of the gresn coverss table. The story 18 told of one woman whose husband was very insistent that she should never be guilty of playing for money. Yet upon one occasion she did play for money and was so interested in the game (hat she got home only after her husband’s dinner hour. His righteous in- dignation knew no bounds. After listening meekly (o his outbursts of wrath for awhile, took from her pocketbook twenty-four crisp $1 bills and handed them to him. With little show of appeasment he took them and sternly assured her that he could never any other excuse than that Washington devotee of Roosevelt, States, aceept is a favorite home of the bridge. ~ Although Theoders when president of the United thundered mightlly against tha habit, even in his own official family thers Was one of the best bridge players in the diplomatic werld. George A. Von Meyer, secretary of the navy, learned the finer points of the game In Russia, and some of his piays arc said to be classic in the art of forcing the hand of his opponent. The literature of bridge is very large, considering the comparative infanoy of the game. The booksellers' catalougues list something lake seventy different works explaining Ite mysterles and codifying ite jaws. For a long time bridge players sup- ported a magazine devoted exclusively to the game, but In recent months this magazine has taken up other forms of whist, skat, etc. There are In nearly all important cities men and women who earn a living by introducing strangers to the subtleties of the game. In some cases they supplement their earnings as teachers by their winnings elsewhere. Bridge not only has taken the place for- merly occupied by stralght whist as the most popular card game, but it has done much more, it has taken the first place as the means of social entertainment in America. Bridge is played for itself alone, and bridge parties are more numerous than all other entertalnments taken together. Bridge precedes and follows luncheons, succeeds dinner and Is hoped for even when it is not In evidence. Ones qualifica- tions as a bridge player form the measure of his social stature. The most charming and brilliant man or woman in’ the country will be soclally lost unless the charm and brilliance is supplemented by the ability to play bridge. If one would commit social suicide and foréver erase his name from the invitation lists of his soclal world, lef him abjure bridge.
