tossed and tumhlcd pretty locks With The most
neartiess disregard for feminine feelings whisted
tts way over the Ardsley links yesterday and four
sturdy little golfers at least were unanimous in

as bravey and played as royal good golf as though
the sun smiled and the breezes were as soft ma

in the days doings The other competitors were
Miss Naude X. Wetmore. OF Newport; Miss Carol
Ei1lnz. Of Ardsley. and Miss Frances E. Griscom

prising I'm view Of the prominent place taken by
Miss Griscom in last seasons championship. but II
was the natural outcome Of long series Of prac-
