That's , rare combination. be-

diamond tiara stolen from her. These
thrown discretion 10 the winds They
had said good by 10 caution and were
perfectly prepared TO see every dol
lar they bet so 10 the bookmakeTs.
There we're going TO be seven Of thess
dollars: one for each race. That
made s. So that each woman had put
into the pool and they told each other
with evident sincerity that they didn't
care IL they lost il all. All.
That was where I ought TO have
started out and borrowed right and
left and made a procession OF myself
in their wake But I Just felt sorry
for them and really wondered il |
couldn't manage to give them tips on
8 few of the sure things you were
picking out in the paddock
We'll. they decided TO take turns
at picking out the horses. and must
say they decided on the first turn
fairly enough. The one whose initial
was nearest to the head of the al
phabet got the first choice and then
they went over the names of the
horses together.
~Trillo was the fayorite in the bet
ting. but. heavens, they didn't know
or care about that. The one who was
to choose the horse disposed of Trillo
as if she were rank outsider. She
hesitated over Ginki. Ginkl. you know,
with odds OF $50 TO l. She said that il
he had been AIMED Dinky she certainly
would have bet on him Well. it was
lucky for her he wasn't, because there
was a good eight lengths between
him and the winner
when she got 10 Blueaway she
was simply tickled TO
said that blue was her color, and she
knew she ought TO bet on that horse.
But she thought il over and finally
she said she'd take Lucky Star. be-
cause she could say something to
make it a lucky one for her And
sure enough. when the horse came out
she said:
Star light. star bright.
First star I've seen tonight
wish | may. | wish | might
Have the wish I wish tonight
Il suppose she wished then that
her horse would win. and the blamed
thing did. by head, They eollared
IS on that race. and if that isn't put
ting a premium on idiotic supersti-
ton | don't know what would do it
Then the other one tried her luck
on the second race First she
thought she'd take O'Hagen. because
she knew a girl by that name and
then she said no. she'd take Homo
lulu, because she was perfectly crazy
to get there some time, I don't know
whether she'll get there. but Homo
lulu did. and they got So for their
one.
Then No. had another turn, and
of course she picked Blue Girl, that
being her color. They got even
money that time. I was glad they
didn't get more. That sort of thing
oughtn't to be encouraged.
For the fourth race. the Belmont
Stakes, No. had terrible time
choosing a horse. She said she didn't
care for any of the names. though
though she inclined to All Green. be
cause it made her think of them
selves. You know All Green was
somewhere up there on the hill when
Commando and Parader finished the
race. / wish she had stuck to old
Slowboy.
But she didn't. For once sls
looked up the jockeys and the mo
ment she saw them she jumped a
Spencer. because she said that thu
day before she had put on a spencer
waist. or something IKE that, of he
mothers, and it had been a perfec
fit. Therefore she knew that Spen
Ger was bound to win.
Now YOU know you can't ge

Commando galloped in ahead o
, Parader and the women made evel
money.
You remember the fifth race, wit
Conroy. Blues and DR.. Barlow. o
course No. picked Blues as a wiz
ner. that being her color. Than
the powers that occasionally befrien
thinking beings Blues and his colo
bearer got left When it got TO tn
