NON-STOP BRIDGE.
PURSUIT OP PASTIMES. LONG WEEK-END GAME. The lengths to which bridge-lovers will go in the pursuit of their pastime almost pass belief. At a week-end party at Lord Michelkam’s house some friends came over to lunch, among whom was Lady Searsdale, an enthusiastic bridge player. The friends had come to lunch 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 at G o’clock dawn fond Lady Searsdale finishing a rubber and reluctantly tottering to bed. Lord Michelham is a perfect host. Although lie 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.
