Excerpt from Entertaining With Cards

No other form of entertainment allows such diversity of style and variety of detail as card parties. They are appropriate for morning, afternoon, and evening and for all assemblies require little oversight from the hostess, and may be as Simple or as elaborate as is desired. Once seated with a new, crisp pack of cards before them, the guests will entertain themselves.

Euchre is still a reigning favorite for progressive play, though in certain localities it has been supplanted by Whist - Bridge, Duplicate, Progressive or Drive - Cinch or Pedro, Five Hundred, sixty-three, and others. Euchre is sociable and easily mastered, and, as almost everyone who plays cards at all is familiar with it, its popularity is not likely to wane. There seems to be a sociability in six-handed games that is rapidly bringing them into favor. It has been said that an evening at six-handed Euchre makes old friends out of chance acquaintances. Five and seven-handed Euchre are also played, but not progressively. The score is kept at each table, and a favor given to the player having highest score at each table.
