Brawls at Bridge Lead to Divorce
A JUDGE ON CARDS PARIS, December 20. A jLidge, when granting Mrs. Gerald Wood, of Chicago, a divorce on the grounds of lier husband’s c.ruelty during games of bridge, pointed out that unsuccessful marriages would be fewer if husbands and wives did not partner each other at card tables. He had heard too much recently, he said, about wives failing to respond to their husbands’ indicating bids. The petitioner alleged that her husband publicly struck her when she doubled “four diamonds,” enabling an opponent to make ten tricks. He again struck her when she trumped his ace, and also when she failed to take him into another . suit after he had doubled “one no trump.”
