ABOUT LOVERS QUARRELS
 AND WAY TO AVOID THEM

Shun them as you would the smallpox, flee from them as you would from some deadly cobra; forget all the nonsense you ever read or heard about the joys of making up; remember the old story of the fox without tail
 The longer you can keep from quarrel ing the less likely you will be to start. Every impulse which passes through the brain makes a path for similar impulses to quarrel-hrst a bridle-track, then a lane, last a highway. This Is why the It. tie tiff grows into misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding into a real ugly quarrel. and every time one or other of the pair is put out the angry words come more glibly
 It's absurd, when you come to think of 1t, how very easy 1t Is to find things to quarrel about, says a writer in Woman's Life. You only need to be little self opinionated, trife vain. not very sym pathetic, and you can get up a real old row over the merest trif1e
 But it's very undignified to quarrel. Anger generally makes people grow red in the face, and it always makes them feel very ill-philosophers say 1t gener- ates definite poison which circulates

BddmlntOn Threatens
 PinQ POnQ'S Vogue

Badminton Is coming into vogue again in a way that promises to lay ping pong on the shelf as a society game. English social lights, which took so devotedly to ping pong have begun to serve notice that Badminton is in better taste. and so- cial organ says of the game, "Badminton can be played out of doors, on a lawn or on a carriage drive. or indoors in large room. Two, three, four, six or eight may play at once. The best game. however, is six, when there are two wom- en up at each side of the net while a man keeps back behind them The game. as might be expected, derived it's name from the fact that 1t was first introduced in England by a member of house par ty at Badminton In the time of the late Duke of Beaufort
 Sober tennis players who had scorned ping pong as something immeasurably less than tennis may incline toward Bad hinton. though 1t, too, may be reduced to indoor quarters For, with the excep- ton of the balls used Badminton is ten his. it's plays and scores being observed according to the same rules, and only the lack of the rebounding quality in the balls differing from tennis.
 The ball used Is the shuttlecock that goes with the game of battledore. It is ball of cork weighted with lead or it may be hard rubber, and in either case 1t Is winged with feathers, which causes the ball to revolve. at the same time flying swiftly, guided by the feather wings. As the ball will not rebound when striking the earth or floor, it must be "volleyed" and each failure to return the ball is counted against the player who misses.
 For playing Badminton the best court Is 28 feet long and 20 feet wide, with the service line ten feet from the base line. A net one foot deep Is stretchd across the court five and a half feet above the ground.
 Only in the fact that these hard balls are winged, do not rebound, and have to be 'volleyed," does the game differ from tennis. In this volleying. however, Is the tension and strained interest for both player and spectator, and as a rival for ping pong 1t looks as If society needed only to pass the word to effect the change.
