" The
identity of this "unknown" (who is usually Jack Dempsey or some
other noted professional pugilist) should be kept carefully
secret, so that all the guests are in a glow of mystified
excitement when the contest begins, and you can imagine their
delight and happy enthusiasm when the "masked marvel" cleverly
knocks the "champion" for a double loop through the ropes into
the lap of some tittering "dowager."
Refreshments should then be served and the "champion" can be
carried home in a car or ambulance provided by the thoughtful
host.
BRIDGE WHIST
"Bridge whist," or "Bridge," as it is often called by the younger
generation, is rapidly replacing whist as the favorite card game
of good society, and "bridge" parties are much en vogue for both
afternoon and evening entertainments. In order to become an
expert "bridge" player one must, of course, spend many months and
even years in a study of the game, but any gentleman or lady of
average intelligence can, I believe, pick up the fundamentals of
"bridge" in a short while.
Let us suppose, for example, that you, as a "young man about
town," are invited to play "bridge" on the evening of Friday,
November seventeenth, at the home of Mrs. Franklin Gregory. Now,
although you may have played the game only once or twice in your
life, it would never do to admit the fact, for in good society
one is supposed to play "bridge" just as one is supposed to hate
newspaper publicity, and on the evening of Friday, November
seventeenth, you should present yourself in suitable attire at
Mrs.
