' PROOIUESSIVB ' BRIDGE.' ' '" '
"Bridge" has retired Into comparative
obscurity during the crowded Winter
months, but as the end of the. season
approaches there Is little doubt that It
wilt emerge ready for spring division. So
lnuch scandal was created last year by
the heavy losses at "bridge" among men
and women in private houses tfeat the
best people" are now setting the exam-
pi of moderation. t
Some hostesses have abolished money
stakes . entirely and substitute prises,
where the same people meet frequently
to play bridge. These are bought from a
pool, to which every player contributes" a
small sum. From this fund the prizes
for the next meeting are purchased, and
furnish the incentive that cards seem to
require. These are " distributed , in the
sanal wayone to the woman ind hne to

A "progressive bridge party" Is one
of the newest forma of n'terfainmeht.-. It
Is run on th same lines as ,the now ob-.

At progresrlve hridgtf 'ii is best to jet
a time limit on the play. It Is almost Im
possible to arrange that a certain num
ber of games or rubbers shall be accom
plished before the prize winners are de
clared, for some hands and rubbers take
so long a time to get through. When the
game begins at 9 o'clock midnight Is a
good hour to stop, -as that leaves time for
the refreshments that are generally
served.

NEWEST SHIRT WAISTS. (
The shops are putting forth, delightful
little house waists tor the Summer girl,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Made In
the surplice shape, with' frilled elbow
sleeves, and In the most delicate lawns,
dimples and batistes, they are intended
to be worn with white pique and duck
skirts. Fine , embroideries, tucks and
cheap laces trim them effectively and the
model of them Is sufficiently, simple to be
followed by any fairly clever needle-woman.
, " "-
Among the new buttons, the pal yel
lows, azures and whites may be recom
mended for these waists, six of which,
with three white skirts, would provide a
charming hot weather outfit. Any good
pattern firm will supply tho correct
model. .'.,'-. ( - ' , .

The length of sklr shows no likelihood
of being diminished during the summer,
but Instead of clinging round th feet in
embarrassing folds, they stand out In well
rounded flutes on the ground, an effect
