Mr.. Jarr on New Years Eve Becomes
Brooklyn's Most Unwelcome Guest


The gentlemen. by the way. had said

cried. Won't that be lovely!" and
got out deck Of cards and a soup

In all the great cities poker Is a
lost art. Dancing. moving pictures
and auction bridge have supplanted
the simple and primitive folk-ga
Of poker.
But In the remote byways, and in
the quiet country places, such as
Brooklyn. the quaint old pastime OF
poker still flourishes.
Mrs. Bogus played a wonderful
game. Even for n woman, she played
a wonderful game. In fact. Mr.. Jarr
complimented her on her game. He
told her, and truthfully. he had never
seen poker played as she played 1t.
Mrs. Bogus's way OF playing poker
| ESPECIALLY when she was dealing,
was to take all the cards she needed .
even seeking In the discards for the
ones she most desired. She also had
merry way Of saying, "Oh, that
isn't fart" when better hands were
held against her. And just for that
she would take the pot.
Don't thwart her" whispered her
husband. she gets hysterical and
bites when thwar,ed."
Playing the remarkable game that
she did, not to mention her habit OF
rnerrily exchanging the blue chips In
the pot for the white ones In hel
stack, morning had not dawned before
Mrs. Bogus had filled the soup tureer
three times and sold the chips bacl

bark where his fingers met, then pull
out some hair from the back OF his head
and put It In the slit.
Another curious case was that OF 4
