M. H. S. REVIEW Page Fifty-Nine but I can't see why a bereaved person always plays upon public sympathy by considering herself privileged to'be late for everything-if you see what l mean. And don't you consider her weeds unnecessarily profound? What I mean one does hear rumors of course-in a small town, you know, but l have heard that they didn't get along any too well. I know my dears, that I can quite safely say this to you as it won't go any farther of course- I Doorbell. Exit Mrs. Whalebone. Mrs. Cluck- My dear, isn't Mrs. Whalebone getting tremendous ? And that bouffant style she atlects simply destroys her. Now you could wear that type of dress because you're too delightfully slight. But-- Enter Mrs. Wlialebone and Mrs. Teel. Mrs. Cluck- I-lere's Mrs. 'Feel now, and looking simply stunning as usual. My dear, how you must have hurried-you have such a marvel- lous I Mrs. Whalebonc- Shall we start 7 We'll cut for partners-Mrs. Cluck and I against Miss Vine and Mrs. Teel. Mrs. Cluck- My bid, isn't it '?-O dear, it's so hard to decide these things. Oh, a spade. Miss Vine- Two diamonds. Mrs. Whalebone--t'Two diamonds. Mrs. Teel- By, Mrs. Cluck Qbeaming across at Mrs. W.7- How lovely, my dear, we get it at two spades! Now to begin. I simply adore bridge, don't you '? What I mean, there are so many fine points, and one simply must concentrate. Oh I'm so sorry, are you waiting for me ? Oh well we'll let them have that one. But as I was saying-Oh my dear, what shall I play on that '? May I ask-whose Jack is that? I think I shall take a trick, just for exercise you know. And speaking of exercise, don't you think skiing perfect ? My Guinevere has gone skiing with that sweet- looking little Curry chap. O Dear, is the lead from my hand or the table? Thank you Miss Vine. But to go back to Guinevere, the poor child, we really don't know what to with her. Pshaw, my finesses never do work. You don't mind if we go down, do you Mrs. Whalebone ? But poor Guinevere, she simply refused to remain any longer at Braddingdon Hall. She says that they lay such stress on mathematics and science. etc. Things that are so unnecessary. Why they don't even make an attempt to cul- tivating an accent, if you can imagine that ! So we're thinking of send- ing her to the Van Veneer school in Snobville-quite small, and very exclusive, my clears. Gracious I how stupid of me. May I take it back '? It isn't covered. I see you are letting your hair grow Miss Vine-so wise of you, I think. Mrs. Alden is letting hers grow too, and she looks posi- tively ghoulish! Really, isn't that too bad-down three-so fortunate it wasn't doubled. She's on a milk diet, too. Of course' she's a pet and everything, but don't you think she's rather indelicate at times? For instance, The other day she said that she had drunk so much milk, she felt like a dairy. I guess it's Miss Vine's deal-now do give me a good hand this time Miss Vine, it's so discouraginng to bid and go down. But as I said before, one learns something everytime one plays. Bridge is so fascinating and so entirely scientific. Of course concentration is the keynote of success.
