She understood great many things now that had been bunk and poppycock to her before. She knew now why women carried bas- kets to ifers; why women poisoned rivals; why teamsters' wives and thieves women kissed the bruises of their blows.

Purviance, movie star, and Court
land 5. Dimes, Denver millionaire,
held another dinner party last night.
this time in the Brown Palace hotel
in Denver and without the drama
tie climax of the party held last
New Years day in Los Angeles.
Rumors that Dimes and Miss Pur,
Vance were here to be married
were stoutly denied by both. Dimes
admitted he "ha dthe greatest af-
fection in the world for Miss
Puryiancc but spoiled it all by end
ing bis statement '' for both of these
girls. - meaning both Miss Purviancc
and Mabel Normahd, the other par
ticipant in the now famous New
Years party.
After five hours of hiarity start
ing in the hotel suite of Dimes az
six yesterday evening, participants
i'll the party suddenly departed and
their destination was not learned,
Newspaper reporters who attempt
cd to follow the. party from the
Brown palace in taxi cabs were
soon left in the distance. Dimes
appearedto get the first @muse
ment of the eveifing out of the
presence of the press representatives,
when roared with laughter at their
futile attempts to keep pace with his
and those of other mem
bcrs of the party.
The climax of the marriage rumor
'amo when, beautiful girl closely
resembling Mabel Normand register
ed at the Brown Palace as "Miss +.
ID. Packard, Salt Lake City" This
gave rise to II story that Miss Nor
mand had. come to take part in
the wedding party. Later, how
ever, it WAS learned that Miss Pack
ard was not Miss Normand.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 26-It is time
to write an end to useless discussion
over what happened to Georges Car
pcntier in the fourteenth round of
his losing fight with Gene Tunney
= Thursday night. 1t also would be as
well if Georges and Francois Des-
camps would realize that the French
man, despite the gallantry Of spirit
he displayed i'll the memorable tenth
round is no longer a potential cham
pion at any weight and might grace
fully retire, as he promised.
Carpenter has confused the is
sue by a statement in which he now
says he was struck in the groin by
Tunney s knee instead of by a low
punch. If the Frenchman says it
was Genes knee that did the dam
age, then he lays himself open to
wide suspicion. For this reason:
Those who were ut the reporters
table on the east side of the ring
were well able to see what happen
ed. Carpenter had forced Tunncy
TO the ropes in the northeast corner
and had missed a terrific right and
left to the jaw. His body was wide
open and the American drove a
smashing blow to the Frenchman IS
middle. 1t seemed to land little
too low. 1t was this blow which
drew from Georges an involuntary
"oh" of agony, which caused him
to turn away grimace and moan with
pain and sink to the floor.
Gene says it was right smash
which did the work. Those of us at
fingsidc thought it was a left. If
Georges had stuck to his original
story the only dispute would have
been as to whether the blow was
fair or accidentally foul.
There was talk of leaving it to
the slow movies to show what really
happened in that corner, but when
the film was shown last night some
one had blue pcnciled a lot of action
and all that shows in the blow,
Tunney's s left, ripping i'll the gen
cral direction of Georges stomach.
