The Play Was ‘Bridge; The Dialog—Feminine’

By JOAN SCHOEMAKER

IFTY-TWO times each year the same play is presented on a different stage. The players trade parts from time

to time,

Orice each week eight local women

gether. They take turns as hostess and vary the menu accord-

ing to the temperature. Mrs. B. M. Angell, 4810 Graceland Ave, a recent hostess, chose shrimp salad as the main course, since

Mrs. Wayne Warrick and Mrs. M. L. Thompson arrived alone for the noon get-together, put Mrs. V. R. Rupp and Mrs. E. J. Ittenbach came together, followed by a trio, Mesdames Kenneth Pettijohn, Arch Falender and Arthur Pratt—all in their “neighborhood” clothes, as Mrs. Angell described them.

”. . » ONCE THERE, Mrs. Angell left the guests with Mrs. Rupp

while she finished details in the kitchen. Mrs. Rupp answered the door and even accepted the dry cleaning. The conversation opened with the Republican convention. “The convention reminds me of a sorority rush,” Mrs. Thompson volunteered. “1 thought Dewey looked more attractive on TV than he did in the newspapers,’ Mrs. Pettijohn added. «1 didn't vote when I was first married,” Mrs. Warrick commented, “and I've voted for the losing side ever since.”

» » . MRS. JOHN KELLEY, the ninth member of the group, is on vacation in Canada. “It's a shame Dorothy (Kelley) isn’t here to tell us about all the fish she and John are catching,” Mrs. Warrick continued. “Her father plans to join them next week.” “e3ris sald Mrs: Pratt, “I want to know how you would have bid the hand 1 had Tuesday night at the Marott Club game.” “If a person bids twice,” says Mrs. Pratt, “then I assume that he must have a good hand.” «1¢ I bid at all, I bid three times,” - Mrs. Falender volunteered. “I'm glad (John) Chappelear and (Harold) Erner finally won that night,” Mrs, Thompson gaid. “Chapp is a good boy.” «. ., and quite intelligent,” added Mrs. Falender. “we play bridge like some people work crossword puzzles,” Mrs. Pettijohn explained. “Your partner is constantly trying to outsmart you. The rules never change, but strategy does, of course.” . “Each of the girls has to be sure to attend the Marott Club meetings,” Mrs. Rupp pointed out. “so she will be able to understand the discussion of the hands each time we meet.”

He'll just start the conversation at the end of each hand with . ‘Basically speaking it's re “1 don't ever want to be congervative,” Mrs. Pratt said. “I like to gamble.” When the cocktail conversation ended, the luncheon chitchat picked up notes on the coming Summer Natioals bridge tournament Saturday through Aug. 3 in Cincinnati. “Henree (Rupp), are you going to the nationals?’ Mrs. Pratt asked. “I plan to go up for two days,” she replied. “You're going, aren't you?” . » ~ “YES, I PLAN to drive over, and then I'm driving on up to

Prats obvious interest in Cape

Cod with a thumbnail sketch

of her before-marriage career in Eastern stock companies. “I was in several musicals which Jerome Kern wrote the music for before he became famous,” Mrs. Pratt added. As Mrs. Pettijohn passed the relish tray at lunch, each guest took a portion of Mrs. Angell's pickled mushrooms and proceeded to brag on the newly ine troduced relish.

“I'got the recipe,” Mrs. Angell

said, “when my husband and I

were in Denver recently. They served them at the hotel and we thought they were delicious.”

Here's how she makes them. ” 5 ”

“Remember all the manner{sms of the masters?” Mrs. Pratt said. “I certainly do,” answered Mrs. Rupp. “The Baron Von Zedwitz always twists his hair into a peak. Of course, there's always the gallery behind Charles Goren and Oswald Jacoby,” she continued. “Jacoby has been known to

play with his cards in his pocket. He arranges them and just pulls out the correct card as he is ready to play it. This always makes a big impression on the gallery.” “Remember the time he handed his cards to one of the kibitzers,” ~ Mrs. Pratt said, “and then called for which card he wanted played? He has a terrific memory.” “No one ever talks about anything except bridge at a tournament,” Mrs. Rupp continued,

As the first hand was picked up Mrs. Thompson quickly spoke: “No one ever gave me time to ‘talk about my grand-, child. The family is out taking pictures of the 7-month-old this

Conversation, at a bare minimum during the game, was in a quiet whisper, since in duplicate team-of-four play the two tables play each other's hands and loud bidding and discussion influence the other players.

At the end of the first hand Mrs. Rupp chided Mrs. Thompson, her partner, on her bidding with: “I'll tell Skitch (Mr, Thompson) how you bid.” The game ended in a dead tie which happens twice or three times ,a year since the players are comparatively evenly matched and are familiar with each other's general strategy.
