NON-STOP BRIDGE.
The lengths to which bridge lovers will go in the pursuit of their pastime almost pass belief.
At a week-end party at Lord Michelham's house some friends came over to lunch, among whom was Lady Scarsdale, an enthusiastic bridge player. The friends had come to lur>ch only, but they began to play bridge, writes a correspondent in a London paper. They stayed to tea. They went on playing. They stayed to dinner. They went on playing. Some of the visitors went home. The rest went on playing, and a six o'clock dawn found Lady Scarsdale finishing a rubber and reluctantly tottering to bed.
Lord Michelham is a perfect host. Although he neither drinks, smokes, nor plays cards, his cellars are of the best, his cigars beyond reproach, and Rolleston Hall is not wanting in bridge tables. A gracious home.
