Riddle #2

The five offices of the Mudbridge
Women’s Guild are held by Mesdames
Virtue, Wellbeloved, Xerxes,
Youngblood, and Zenith. These powerful
ladies are also very partial to a
game of contract bridge and, on each
weekday morning, a different one of
the five acts as hostess to three of the
others. The resulting fours are the
same each week, and each lady has just
one morning off each week—the one
on which she is not part of the four. All
those whom Mrs. Virtue invites to her
morning game invite Mrs. Wellbeloved
to theirs. Mrs. Wellbeloved invites
two of the ladies whom Mrs. Xerxes
invites and, as the fourth member, a
lady not among those invited by Mrs.
Youngblood. Because she is president,
Mrs. Zenith’s invitations confer a
certain distinction on the recipients.
Who, besides herself, does not receive
one? This problem is a bit tricky. Be
sure to think outside the box.
