FARMINGTON STUDENT Ye Old Contract Bridge Game Mrs. Itfloats Stoopnagle is betting two cakes of Ivory, 99 LHXIOOW pure soap, against Mrs. Percival P. C. W. Pother's English accent, that the approach -via-the-shin system will triumph over the once-over method. The latter's outstanding feature is that you bid your hand before you sort it. Persons who use the first method are provided with shin-guards. The winner of the bet will give the proceeds to charity. THE HANDS East-Mrs. Percival P. C. W. Pother West-Mrs. R. U.

Skidmore. While Mrs. Itfloats Stoopnagle and Mrs. R. U. Musclebound are playing and gossiping, falthough they were unaware of it, Walter Winchell has his ear at the key-holej, Mrs. Percival P. C. W. Pother quietly swallowed the king and trey of clubs. Now, having only three suits, fnot to mention the ten dresses, four pairs' of shoes, etc.J, she took this trick and the next thirteen. Mrs. P. C. W. still had two cards in her hand, but one was discovered to be a joker, and the other an admittance to Moey's speakeasy. ' The end of the first nights play in the contract bridge match between the teams captained by Mrs. Itfloats Stoopnagle and Mrs. Percival P. C. W. Pother found the English lady, Mrs. P. C. W., 09990 points in the lead, owing to an almost incredible number of deuces, tno relation to the deuce-take-it J, held by Mrs. P. C. W. Pother and her partner, Mrs. Musclebound. In fact as Mrs. R. U. Musclebound, as dummy, tnothing personal meantj, laid down her hand in the fifty-seventh deal of the still unfinished first rubber and displayed two- spots and it later developed that Mrs. P. C. W. Pother herself had three, Mrs. Itfloats Stoopnagle and Mrs. I. C. Skidmore began to chew their finger nails and curse quietly under their breath. A lousy finesse by Mrs. I. C. Skid- more nearly caused Mrs. Stoopnagle to start a riot, but the riot was out of gas- oline and unable to start. Thus the first rubber of this stupendous bridge contest was ended. The noted players unanimously voted to postpone the contest until after the coming of the Presidential election, for the sake of publicity. Watch your local newspaper for later developments.
