WELL, you never can tell these dajs. You go to a bridge party for charity and you spend, a dollar, say, for jour ticket, and you feel you have helped a good and worthy cause, and are about to have a nice time playing cards with your friends; but, take It fiom me, ou bad better know how said friends play bridge before you get caught, ns did a cer tain woman of my acquaintance at a char ity affair of late. Sho bought her ticket and Joined a table where three women she knew were waiting for a fourth plnyer and who asked her to Join them. They tnlUed about points and how much each owed and so on, and our unsophisticated friend, thinking it a great Joke, plajed on com placently till the time was called for re freshments. Imagine her horror when one OJ1 the women said: "Well, we had better settle up before we Ieae the table. Tou owe $17.50, Mrs. H." Poor woman, she was embarrassed to death, and had to explain that she had not itplajed for money. She had thought they were Joking. The three women eyed lher rudely and made It very plain that iney. considered tills nt true, nut mat lie was a bad loser. Sufllce It to say T .Kb BlIU ICLUniHl I1I1II1H uriii LlltlH .1 ILA L,to a store a frock she had bought that 5f. morning, and on receiving the money In Sj return for it sent It immediately to the ti Ifftlnnrl smUrt Unil nlnlmA.I ttsn nmnlinf Kow the victlnrtif this game was a joung married woman who is not greatly blessed ,witn this world s goods, nnd who I happen to know had purchased the frock i ter having economized for several weeks to 6e able to do so. Her husband, who Is touch in lovo with her and feels very Ji'much that he cannot afford to ghe her the best In the land, was about as angry a man as I would ever care to see, And 1 doubt if the three women involved in the affair will bo able to count this nfc charming and much sought-after young couple "among those resent" at any af Jfalrs they may give In somo future date. . Ana the worst of it is some will say tbeee things happen at "charity affairs" and condemn the affair instead of the in Viduals who take advantage of such an occasion to do these things.
