va Jam., of awp by Willie Byron During the late reign of James I, first of the Stuart line to rile England, Barnabus Patrick O'Bridge was born in a little hay-thatched bungalow in the suburbs of Hunkhew, Flumdumberlin County, Ireland. His father was Michael Aloysius O'Bridge, a parsnip merchant, who grew a variety of parsnip, now extinct, but then very popular as Irish Greens . His mother was Maggie Murphy O'Dowd whose chief occupation in life was to pick and pepper Poppa's parsnips. Barnabus' early existence was spent in growing up, his youth passed regretting it, and he recahed middle age only after he had passed his young-man- hood picking potatoes in the neighboring fields. When his mother died and his father went to Haiti to experiment with bananas, Barnabus, having been left an annuity, moved to London and passed his second childhood therein. Barnabus was a callow cynic. He soon developed a sneer-like sneer and for a While was content in mastering a complete line of sneers. However, Barnabus began to tire of slum society and suburbanity. Time dragged and his humdrum existence bored the caustic ibut none-the-less subtlel cynic. Barnabus finally decided to adopt a hobby and to adopt one satisfying all the qualifications he set up as requisite. Herein, our hero came to an impasse. No conventional hobby was satisfactory, all demanded a surplus of attention and activity, and Barnabus couldn't even summon a mite of the above-mentioned. However, his inherent genius rose to a new peak. If he couldn't find a satisfactory hobby, he'd create one according to his own requirements. He now commenced to model a game along the lines of poker and fifty- two pick-up. The game thus concocted was called bridge after its founder and Barnabus soon became exceedingly proficient in it. We can lay this proficiency to the fact that Barny was well fitted to the game so well fitted to him. He bore a physique marvelously adapted to easy chairs, he could sit for hours blankly blinking, and he learned at an early age to blunder blindly and yet maintain an indifferent and nonchalant air. Barnabus' Book of Rules and Requirements for the Successful Conduct of a Gayme of Brydge was published in 1684 by the Scratch and Scrape Printing Company of London. The original copy still remains resting piece-fully in a plush case at the Hunkhew School of Higher Learnings, Hunkew, Flurndumberlin County, Ireland. This novel and intriguing amusement was immediately taken up by the smug members of English society for economy's sake. For generations, groups had met and gossiped over coffee until this quaint little habit grew to a custom, and was religiously carried on by suc- ceeding generations. But the present members of English society were 4 MANET
