THE GAME OF THE HOUR. ABC OF BRIDGE By ELEANOR A. TENNANT. from the Brooklyn Eagle: ‘‘Bridge is not yet so well known as whist, but an hour’s study of this clever little book ought to be enough to enable anyone to play with moderate success. It is written mainly for the instruction of amateurs, but, in addi- tion, the author, who is herself an expert, has given numerous hints that will be valu- able to the most advanced player.” .. . From the Dramatic Mirror: ‘‘The game is explained in simple fashion —which is indeed an achievement, consider- ing its complications.” . . . .. . .e From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat : ‘‘The little volume is just what it pretends to be—an elementary treatise on the subject, and is not rendered top-heavy, by overload- ing of extraneous matter. It will take one about an hour to read it, and he will then know how the game is played.’’ Incloth. Gold top. Illustrated with diagrams. Price, 75 Cents.
