Uncle Henry's daughter Jennie plays
tennis little, but it's no fun for two
women to play together because they
never can remember how the game
stands, and one says II is forty-love
while the other declares IL is duce, after
which theyquarrel and go into the house
while the fresh air stays out doors and
the exercise develops only the maIilla-
~ muscles. For the information OF the
unlearned | will state that the maIilla-
nv muscles operate the jaw.
Such being the case, Jennie suggest
ed, when the court had been laid out,
that ii would be good plan 10 invite
two young men, Messrs, Atkins and
Bland-who were spending a months
vacation at a boarding house IN Quin-
inehurst-tO come over and play tennis.
1--WE should be happy to have you use
our court whenever you wish" said
Jennie to these gentlemen, and they &C
cepted with slacrity.
When Maude learned OF this she said
ii would be very nice, because daubles
az tennis were great fun, especially
when there were men TO chase the balls.
The next morning Messrs. Atkins and
Bland came over, and put out the net
about nine o'clock. They played nine
sets OF singles, and then went homo 10
dinner. In the afternoon they played
eleven sets. Maude and Jennie
brought two chairs from the
house aud watched them play. Uncle
Henry brought them pail OF
water. Mr.. Atkins said II was Pity
there wasn't more shade on the court,
Mr.. Bland said that he didn't mind the
sun very much, but he thought that
turf court ought either to grow grass
or let II alone. Struggling punches OF
yerdure interiered with his play. Jen-
ME, who is very polite and obllging
girl, said that she would pull up the
grass and see what could be done about
the sun, wherest Mr.. Bland seemed
pleased aud remarked that he and his
friend would come again next day.
They did. In the seventh set Mr..
Bland was so unfortunate as 10 break
his racket. He borrowed Jennie's. 1t
aid not suit him very we'll but he did
the best he could. 10 the afternoon he
seemed 70 get used 10 II, and by supper
time he was one sci ahead OF Mr.. At
kins.
The next day Mr.. Atkins sent bis
racket 10 the city to be restrung. He
borrowed Maude's and did not do we'll
with IL. However, when be returned u
al supper time be assured Maude that
he was not the man TO bear grudge.
| This was while Jennie was taking In
the net and Uncle Henry was hunting
for one Of the balls.
II was on the fifth day OF the great
series between Messrs. Bland and At
| klns that Maude remarked to Jennie
| that tspnls as an exercise was not so in-
yigoratinz as she had been led 10 expect.
Jennie replied that possibly II they got
I'D early In the morning before Mr..
| Bland and Mr. Atkins were astir they
might get more benefit out OF the game
than they had hitherto secured. They
accordingly arose al six o'clock the next
morning: breakfasted in the atmosphere
OF ill-ten per which shrouds the earth
AZ that early hour; aud put out the net
| just as II began 70 rain.
Ii ralned so much that the court did
not dry that day. In the afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams called. They are
Young people whom Jennie knows
very well, and she was delighted 70
| find that they had come NQuinine-
hurst for the sumner , she
