THE UNIVERSAL GAME.
Tennis Is Som ethinE That 1t Is Of Ex-
IRENE Moment to Acquire
Knowledge OF.

Certainly of them all tennis is the
most universal; small boys, girls, wom-
en-, men of three generations play it,
and the crack has not very much more
amusement out of it than the duffer,
writes Arthur Sherwood Pier, in At
lantic. So long as player feels within
him possibilities of growth he enjoys
the game; and even when these fail,
even when he realizes that he is slip
ping backward, he clings on, light-heart-
eddy contesting every inch of the de-
cline with some of his contemporaries
"If cannot keep pace with the advanc-
ing battalion, shall not head those who
are in retreat" cries your optimist; and
so-because tennis players are gener1.y
optimists-you will see on any warm
summer day veterans urging their old
limbs upon the grassy courts, crouching
in their play with the racket held stiffly.
trotting with little, timorous steps, polk
ing at the ball with the gesture of un-
certain vision; and you watch them
awhile and think perhaps in the pride
of your youth: There can't be much
fun in that" And then, while you are
looking on, they begin TO wrangle about
some point; they are suspicious as to
whether or not that ball actually did
strike the line; and such verbal vitality
as these four old men will then display,
congregating at the net, wagging their
- ads, and finally examining the ball it
seq for traces of whitewash! You do
not doubt any longer that their tennis
is something of extreme moment to
them: and you wonder if with your own
occasional slipshod indifference to your
rights on doubtful points you do not
show an unworthy slight regard for
noble game.

and l am going to give few hints of

After all Dame Fashion is iIaclined to

modes along the same lines so far as
they are applicable to the heavier ma

1ngs. ruchings, ETC., so fascinating in
sheer summer fabrics, will not lend
themselves to zibeline and cloth and vel
vet. OF course, house frocks and even
ing frocks for winter will be in ma
terials soft enough and sheer enough to
adapt themselves to any handling, but
Just what compromise will be effected
