~ OILY CHUCK was flattered.
= Yes, indeed, Polly was fiat
tered She was very much
i f1attered. Not since she had
been young and handsome, as
beauty goes among Chucks, had she
been so fattered. She was about to
be fought over Yes, sir, there GER
tainly was going to be fight for her,
and one of those fighters was young
and the finest looking Chuck she had
seen for many long day. She had
quite lost her heart to him, or thought
she had. The other was-why, it was
Johnny Chuck, who had fought for
and won her SO long ago, and who
was no longer as young as ne used to
be.
Johnny was very. very angry. He
was grizzled veteran of many fights.
But this young Chuck was not in the
least daunted. He was ready and
willing to meet Johnny half way. It
was wonderful to have such hand
some young champion once more, or
so Polly was silly enough to think.
They were circling around each
other now, each looking for an open
ing. 1t was most exciting. 1t took
Polly back to the first time she had
sat and watched fight for her favor.
1t was Johnny Chuck who had won
then. How big and handsome he had
been.. This young Chuck reminded
her of the Johnny of that long ago
time with whom she had fallen SO
greatly in love.
They were growing and gritting
their teeth at each other now and
seeking a chance to fly at each others
throats. Polly drew a long breath
and-what was the matter? Both
Johnny and the other Chuck had
stopped circling and both were star
ing at something. Polly looked in
that direction. There was another
Chuck, handsome young miss, who
had approached unnoticed and was
looking on with lively interest. See
ing that she was being noticed, she
now coyly turned as If to hurry of.
Instantly both Johnny and the
other young Chuck started after her.
Never had Polly felt so chagrined.
They didn't give so much as a glance
in her direction. It was bad enough
to be SO suddenly and completely for
gotten by the handsome young
stranger, but for Johnny to treat her
like that was more than she could
stand. She started after Johnny and
she nipped his heels. He stopped and
turned with a snarl. When he saw
Who it was he looked sheepish.

silly thing. Yes, sir, you ought to
be ashamed. The idea of an old fel-
low like you thinking that she would
give you so much as look! I don't
know what the times are coming to-.
I really don't"
Johnny looked sheepish. Then his
eyes began to twinkle. What were
you making eyes at that young fel-
low for?" he demanded.
II didn't do any such thing!" de-
clared Polly Chuck Indignantly, try
ing to hide her confusion. How
could I help it If he came over here
and said nice things to me? What
should I have done-run away?"
You could have turned your back

NEW YORK, April 13-The last

flnesse taken, the last trick collected
The Sims -CulbertSon bridge match is
ended.
Victory goes to Ely and Josephine
Culbertson by 16,l3O points.
That was their final margin over
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Hal Sims at the end
of the l50th rubber Of the match that
Culbertson called the Bridge Battle
Of the Century"
The match was supposed to dem
onStrate the superiority of either the
Sims or the Culbertson systems. but
it did more than that. Two hus-
bands and their wives sat through
more than 100 hours of bridge with
out an argument-which possibly may
set a new all-American record.
Sims Conceds Nothing.
So far as the superiority Of the
Culbertson system is concerned. Hal
Sims is not ready to concede it.
"Our play was certainly better.
even though we did lose the match,
he said.
Culbertson laid his success entirely
to the effectiveness of his system.
ut brought us a decisive victory
despite splendid play by the Simses
and my usual bidding fantasies" he
said. II am so satisfied with the 1885
streamline6 model that I can now an
nounce there will be no radical change
and few Improvements for many years
to come"
During the three weeks match the
two families played 870 hands. dur
ing which the CulbertSons rolled up
127270 points and the Simses Ill .140.
The Culbertsons led in rubbers, 80 to
68 With the exception of the first
nights play, the Culbertsons were in
the lead all the time.
Ending Is Dramatic.
The play ended dramatically last
night. in spite of the fact that the
Simses were hopelessly defeated long
before the final session started. In
the last rubber the SimseS bid vul-
nerable small slam. Had they made
it the match would have ended at
that point and the Culbertson plus
would have been only 1910. They
went down. however, and the Culbert-
sons went on to win the rubber and

SYNOPSIS

It had been a wonderful picnic, Lu-
cinda Stanford enjoying every minute
of it even though Howard Scott. the
artist, persisted in proposing for the
hundredth time. The party retreats
Someone puts a pail of water over the
door intended for BERTHE Sprlgg, a
sponger, but Lucinda gets soaked in
stead. While her clothes are drying,
she wraps herself in gunny-sack and,
tired out, falls asleep in the hay.
Later, the crowd goes off and leaves
her, believing she has gone ahead in
another car. Lucinda awakens at four
o'clock the next morning and rushes
from the barn terrified. Wealthy Car
ter Chalaire finds her by the roadside
and takes her to his home. After a
refreshing bath, and dressed in pair
of Carter's pajamas, Lucinda feels
like Cinderella. Carter, greatly at
tracted, asks her if she could learn to
like him. Her heart leaps, but she
answers lightly, THAT'S a tall order.
For all you know l may be engaged or
even married" Suddenly his mother
appears in the doorway, a look of hOr-
rOr and disgust upon her face as she
stares at Lucinda. misunderstanding
the reason for the girls presence in
the house at that hour, Mrs. Chalaire
orders her out. Carter takes Lucinda
home. Bubbles, her gold-digging sis
ter, is out and Lucinda has no key so
she suggests that they go to Towards
studio where the picnic party had
gone for breakfast. The party is
still in full swing. Bubbles, sens
ing money, tries to flirt with Carter
but he is entirely taken up with Luz
cinda.

Now they, too, consumed the bath

Presently it gave out. There was
much lamentation among the guests,
and suggestions as to where it would
be possible to get more?
"I've got lots in my locker at the
Club. I'll take you all up there" Car
ter suggested. His pleasure in Lucin-
da, combined with lack of sleep (for
he had been up all night and the
drinks he had consumed, made him feel
blissfully reckless.
"Atta boy, Carter! We're on our
way! Lead us to it."
1t was only BERTHE Sprigg who
perhaps because he was British and
had a respect for the sanctity of

But no one listened to BERTHE.
In their assortment of cars, led by
Carter in his gorgeous one, with Lu-
cinda alongside-the blue pajamas
covered by one of Towards Chinese
coats-they arrived at the Unity Club
on upper Fifth Avenue, where live
