BRIDGE CRAZE
CARD TABLES ON THE BEACHES.
The Bridge craze has extended even to the beaches! The latest American fad is to make up a party for cards by the seashore, and to spend time between swims in solving the problems of clubs and spades. The shops are filled with the new “surf Bridge sets” to cope with this novel direction taken by one of the modern woman’s most popular recreations.
Colourful canvas tables with collapsible cane stafids, fashion has specially provided , together with brilliant screens so that seaside Bridge players may enjoy a game sheltered from any wind. The screens are so made that they fold into a parcel which can be carried in an ordinary sized suitcase. Designs are aglow with spashes of colour.
One variety of pale gold dyed canvas shows applique work in scarlet and crimson towelling. Hugo “blown-up” rubber cushions similar to the sea-beasts which have become so popular are included in the sets.
The new fad will affect beach fashions a little, for Oriental Bridge cardigans always make their appearance wherever there are cards.
