To play or not to play that is the
question the golfers are asking them
selves now, and even IN these days
scme enthusiasts can be seen on the
links. 1t has been rumored that the
Delaware Field Club would change
quarters, but | believe it is decided
now that for another year it will stay
at Elsmere. The links are in such ex-
cellent condition that it would seem q
shame to change just now.
Miss Adelaide L. Jones, who is tras-
urer Of the Ladies' Organization, says
there will be longer LIST than ever
Of women golfers this spring. We
have some fine players who ara regu-
lar habitues of the links when the
weather permits. Miss Jones, herself
is an adapt at the game, and theu
there's Mrs. Harrisob W. Howell, Mrs.
Arthur Garrett and Mrs. william
Speakman, all enthusiasts ard encd
players. Mrs. William S.. Hilles, who
has always led in athletics at the club
will probably pay very little at Els
mere this year, sinte she has gone tc
her new home at Bear Station.
