Miss Towne wants luncheon for
two, Mr.. Waldron. In her room.
Something nice. she says, and plen-
ty of it."
Little Lucy had never seen such
a room as the one to which Edith
led her. The whole house was, in
deed, dream palace. Yet it was
the atmosphere with which her lov-
er would soon surround her. She
had feeling almost of panic. What
would she do with a maid like Alice,
who was helping Josephine set up
the folding-table, spread the snowy
cloth, bring in the hot silver dishes?
As If Edith OWNED her thought,
she said when the maids had left,
Lucy, will you let me adviser"
"Of course, Miss Towne."
Don't try to be-like the rest of
us. Like Del's own crowd, / mean.
He fell in love with you because
you were different. He will want
you to stay-different."
''But I shall have so much to
learn"
Edith was impatient. "What must
you learn? Externals? Let them
alone. Be yourself. You have Dig
nity-and strength. 1t was the
strength in you that won Del. You
and he can have life together that
will mean a great deal, if you viii
make him go your way. But you
must not go his"
Lucy considered that. "You mean
that the crowd he is with weakens
him?"
81 mean just that. They're So
phisticated beyond words. You're
what they would call-provincial.
Oh, be provincial, Lucy. Don't be
afraid. But don't adopt their ways.
You go to church, don't you? Say
your prayers? Believe that Gods in
His world?"
Lucy's fair cheeks were flushed.
"Why, of course I do"
"Well, we don't-not many of u.s."
said Edith. 1.-THE thing you have
got to do is to interest Del in some
thing. Don't just go sailing away
with him in his yacht. Buy a farm
over in Virginia, and help him make
a success of it."
'tBut he lives in New York"
tOf course he does. But he can
live anywhere. He's so rich that he
doesn't have to earn anything, and
his Office is just fiction. You must
make him work. Go in for fad;
blooded horses, cows, black Berk-
shires. Do you know what black
Berkshire is, Lucy?"
mo, I don't"
"Well, it's a kind of a pig. And
that's the thing for you and Del.
He really loves fine stock. And you
and he-think of it.-riding over the
country-planning your gardens
having a baby or two" Edith was
going very fast.
'It sounds heavenly" said Lucy.
"Then make it Heaven. Oh, Luz
cy, Lucy, you lucky girl-you are
going to marry the man you love.
Live away from the world-share
happiness and unhappiness-" She
rose from the table restlessly, push
ing back her chair. dropping her
napkin on the floor. 'Do you know
how | envy your"
She went to the window and stood
| looking out. "And here | sit, day
after day, like a prisoner in a tower
and my page sings-that was the
beginning of it-and it will be the
end"
mo-" Lucy was very serious,
"you mustn't let it be the end. You
you must open the window, Miss
Towne."
Edith came back to the table.
! "Open the Window" Her breath
came fast. "Open the window. Oh,
little Lucy. how wise you are ="

Edith had told Mrs. Toilette frankly
that she wished Adelaide had not
been asked.
But she fshed for it. She always
does. She fatters Uncle Fred and
he falls for it.
Baldy brought Evans and Mrs.

The $1,000 first prize is only a
fragment of the financial return
that comes to the winner, provided
he is a professional. Gentlemen
with swollen check books were all
over the course during the Open,
waiting to shove gold at the winner
in return for services rendered.
What a pro earns out of the
open title depends a great deal
on his personality and whether he
has the Intangible thing called COL
or. A Hagen or an Armour usually
does all right. A fellow like Sam
Parks-a good golf player but not
a brilliant showman-doesn't do so
well.
People who know think Nelson
may get as much as $4,000 for
Endorsements, radio appearances
and sale of clubs and equipment.
But the financial return is so pre-
carious that there is agitation TO
increase the $1,000 that goes to the

from his grasp, and his mind must
have turned back to that afternoon
in Georgia in 1885 when SaraZen
frustrated him in the masters tour
nament by holing out a No. a Wood
on a par five hole. Wood already
was the clubhouse, receiving con-
gratulations on his triumph, when
word came in that Sarazen had
pulled off one Of COLTS "impossi-
bilities" and was coming into tie
him for the title.
1t was Craig's first wedding an
niversary, and, thinking he had won
he had told his pretty and charm
ing wife that the masters victory
was her anniversary present.
Mrs. Wood was here yesterday
when Nelson fired his miracle shot.
She took the blow amazingly well.
Her only comment, as she walked
from the final green with the cheers
of the crowd for Nelson ringing
in her ears, was:
"It hardly seems fair, does it?
l mean, for fellow TO sink such
a shot in a play off for the nation
al championship. And it's always
Craig who suffers from such shots"
With no thought of disparaging
Nelson's play (after all, you can't
do much better in golf than Byrons
final three rounds of 68-68-70 +,
Wood certainly is the tough luck
boy of golf.
Twice he has been just a blade
of grass away from winning golfs
two greatest titles. In 1888 a slen-
der spear of grass stopped his ball
on the green at st. Andrews when
it was within a turn of the cup. Had
it fallen in he would have won the
British open and not been forced
into a playoff (Which he lost) with
Denny Shute.
Suncdy afternoon he had a seven
foot putt for a 67 and the open
title. But again the little blade
of grass turned aside his ball, and
he missed it.
Why?
Well, If I knew the answer to
that one I'd have a much bigger
story than any golf tournament to
write about.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

PHILADELPHIA, June l3. CUP
Byron Nelson could stand on the
fourth fairway of the Philadelphia
country club and hit No. l irons
toward the green for the rest of his
life without sinking one for an
eagle two.
Gene SaraZen could plant him
self on the fairway of the 18th hole
of the masters course in Augusta
and fire No. woods until his beard
swept the ground without holing
one for a double eagle deuce.
Such shots are miracles, not golf.
The chances against them are
10000 or 100000 to one. With
out taking too much for granted,
a man has the right to believe that
his journey through life won't be
marred by a million to one chance
working against him.
How, then, do you suppose Craig
Wood feels today? What must be
the emotions of a man who, with
in the brief span of four years,
IldS 1du tWO OpPOhCheo uhShs i'S
hopes by banging off 100000 to l
shots? Nelson brought one off in
the second playOff for the national
open golf championship yesterday.
1t was a brilliant battle between
two fine golfers until the Texan
uncorked his No. 1 iron shot on the
fourth hole to send the ball 210
yards and into the cup.
The ball hit the apron off the
green, took a hop toward the right,
and streaked across the carpet to
snuggle up against the flagpole
There it rested, just waiting for
someone to lift the pole and allow
it to plop into the cup. 1t was
Woods sad duty to do this. First
on the green, Craig tapped the
flagpole with his club, and when
he heard the ball drop he must
have felt (and rightly, too that the
golfing fates had turned thumbs
down on him forever.
Wood knew then that the open
championship had been snatched
