Mrs. T. M. Asselstine, Mrs. I. G. Bogart and | Mrs. Travers Hora received. A view of the splendid sheets of ice was tantalizing to the curlers and also to the guests who always enjoy the play from their comfortable chairs. But a bright fire burning in the big fireplace above which are several trophies of the chase as well as the silver trophies won with the irons and the brooms, and the music of an orchestra stationed in the ' secretary's room were in themselves attractions and the membersof both clubs were splendid hosts and hos- teases seeing that every one enjoyed themselves. A table centred with fragrant white nareissi in a silver bowl and gay with pink candles in silver sticks was in charge of the Ladies' Club. Here Mrs. T./M. As- elstine and Mrs. R. N, F.

If it be true, as suggested in some quarters that Mah Jongg is likely to become the fashionable game even to 'the displacembnt of bridge, then there will be a break in the contin- unity of our scientific table games. The passage from whist to bridge and from bridge to anction bridge and from auction bridge (if we ad- mit the later development) to con- tract bridge hag been'a steady se- quence, since bridge in its various forms is merely a development of whist. One must admit, though, that many devotes of whist would have been horrified by the various conventions aimed at 'beating the game" which have been introduced into the most modern forms.of bridge. But it may be said that we have had nearly the same game, since it wag in 1780 that Lord- Folkestone' and 'other prominent persons met in solemn ses- sions at the Crown, Coffee House in Bedford Row and proceeded, with the help of Hovle, to introduce the game into "polite society." It can- not be claimed that whist asserted it- self at once. It was played a geod deal from the first, it was introduced at Court but it did not provide suffi. cient opportunities. for taking huge sums for the "bucks' of that or the next generation. Yet it made its way steadily, and by the middle of the Victorian era it was firmly estab- lished. Bridge has not yet completed 30 years of life in England, though it was played earlier on the Continent. Perhaps it has not deserved a life as long as that of 'whist, ithe varia- tions in the rules have heen too fre- quent and, while claiming to be more scientific than whist, it seems to be developing conventions' which are merely methods of signalling in var- fous forms. Possibly also there is a limit to its evolution, the climax has been passed, and so the card-playing world was ready for so complete a revolution as that suggested by the ! arrival of Mah Jongg.
