TENNIS IN CENTRAL PARK.
THE GIRLS WHO PLAY THERE.

The words Thank you !" 90 Thank you :" 1ha-a-a-n nix
y-o-uu" Thank you ple-a-s-e!' shouted out in
all kinds OF plaintive tones and infections from
hundreds Of throats, male and female is what
hears the tops Of the trees long before he reaches
the Central Park lawn tennis on any fine
summer afternoon. The uninitiaed might imagine
that lot of the most polite and obging people IN
the world engaged in bestOwing countless favers
upon each other, were it not for that curious ex-
preston THANK you p-le-aser always uttered in
must suppcatng tone. This rather upsets his
preconceived notions of what the words generally
mean, and he pushes to upon a gay throng
of healthy looking girls and active young men banging
the balls back and forth over the long lines Of white
that cut up the great meadow into hundreds OF
paraelograns.
Every now and then ball seoots of into neigh
boring court, and it is the rule Of the players TO
return such balls to their proper owner without
obging them TO come after them. This works both
ways of course, and saves time and trouble In some
remote season, when the rule was in its infancy
perhaps, players said Thank your after the ball was
returned, and doubt called the attention of their
ncighbois to the fact that stray ball was under
their feet which needed returning by some request
beginning with Please But now by long Usage
the phrases have become little mixed and "Thank
you!" means Please throw up my ball." and Thank
you, please is only more duplicating way Of saying
the same thing, used In cases of dire distress
The girls who play tennis Central Park lawns
form an interesting study. There is the girl who
chews gum. Her jaw works necessarily in times OF
excitement and when she misses hor point it tlghtens
on the mouthful with an angry snap that seems 10
afford her much relief. There IS the girl who wears
veil her face to preserve her complexion or 10
hide it, How she must stife in her bird cage and how
uncOmfoItably the cngS TO her moist checks
and pouting lips. There is the girl who gloves
TO keep her hands from being tanned Little wonder
that the racket slips and twists In her limp grasp and
that people who play TO win do want her I'm their
set. Here is girl in a dazzling snit come ont to
show her clothes and win admiration and envy. She
gets IT, Here two girls too lazy TO set up their
own net, casting furve gances about for some young
fellow TO and help them. Perhaps they get it
and perhaps they don't That depends cool deal
sad to say, their personal appearance Hero IS a
group of children, three boys ani girl whose father
hs brought them out set their net and allowed them
10 play only condition that they keep their tempers
speak to another politely. Their self restraint
is painful to witness and their interest in so unnatural
an occupation soon flags
