GENTLEMEN'S CLUB
Well everyone else had iinish I
NEWS ITEMS
ed their five games when we
commenced our third. It started
as usual with my partner asking
what was trump. Ethel took us
on a trip to Vancouver and May
told us about her operation. Once
I put my head down and said,
dear Lord if you get me out of
this dungeon I promise never, to
swear at Charlie Draper again or
cuss Art Henry.
Barb McCutcheon came strol-
ling over, she had only been
five or six tables away and nat-
urally had been listening to our
conversation all night. I went
into my act which. I only use
when asked to go somewhere I
don't want to go, or do some-
thing I don't want to do. My face
turned a ghastly gray color, my
eyes went glazy. I quivered my
lips and my—cioice was shaky. 1
said, "Barb I'm in terrible con-
dition, will you take my place for
a hand. She says, I wouldn't think
of cheating you out of your play
ing. Why, only two weeks ago
you mentioned ijn your column
how disappointed you were be-
cause you didn't got invited to all
the euchre parties. No indeed, I
Will not deprive you of the
pleasures involved. She waved,
her hand, said fiddle-de-de and
took off.
Well, we finally got to where the
score was eight for us and nine
for them, with Ethel's deal. She
flipped, face up, one of F4dna's
cards, the Jack of; hearts, and
turned up the ace of same. I held
Jack and ace of diamonds, king
and queen of hearts and ace of
clubs. We needed two, they one.
I knew my partner held right
bower. What would you have
done? With Edna holding the
Jack of hearts, and ace turned
down I could make it diamonds
and get one but wanted two so
I ordered. I lead the queen of
tump, so Edna could take it with
right bower. if she came back
with spades I could would even
trimnp her ace to get lead with
my right. Well, May put on a
little spade and to my horror,
Edna throws out ten spot of
trump and Ethel takes trick with
her ace. I lost the next deal at
nine First time in G2 years.
;Well back conies Barb to see if
I had improved in 'Leann, hut
more to bug me. I said, I'm feel-
ing terrible, my head Is splitting,
I see spots in front of my eyes
and r have terrible pains in my
hip. She says; there's, nothing
wrong with your head except
bit of dandruff. Try head and-
shoulders. The spots before your
eyes are the nines and tens. Yes,
and everyone around you, not only
hag pain in one hip but in both
hips. Fidddle-de-de she says.
Well, Winifred Edgar came
over and took my place, which
proves a good neighbour is better
than a bad relative. Next morn-
ing I went up to George McCut-
cheon's for my daily coffee and
what good things that I prefer
in the fridge. She says, you should
hai,e stayed last night until the
Prizes were given out. See what
I got. She placed before me a
nice , shiny toaster, first prize.
Now, she says, here's your booby.
It was a phamplet entitled, 12
points on how to win a euchre
game, by professor Thynne. It was
copied from an article I had
written thirty years ago. I looked
for a hammer or axe to take the
shine off the new toaster but
couldn't see anything so I beat it
for the door with only one (,up of
coffee drank and I had never
even looked in tile frig. There she
stood smiling so sweetly and
said, where are you going my
pretty fair maid. To Bridge's to
buy a new Ford, T said, Fiddle-
dee-dee. She said, on Lor heavens
sake finish your coffee you are
giving me a headache. I said, it's
probably dandruff, did yeti ever
try iiead and Shoulders. Anyway
while she warmed up my coffee
I helped myself to a big piece of
chocolate cake. Then she went
and called tip Pieta, told her
everything about everything while
I Was busy making rotig deep
,scratches, with my fork, on the
shiny toasiter.
Tlye for new. See you at euthre
