it out and begin play over again meant
the loss of two strokes and the hole, so
Wilkie waded into the water, which
was about two feet deep, and played
the ball from there. He made a pretty
stroke and was on the green, making

The Girl of the Netherlands.

The Dutch girl does not enjoy any
thing like the amount Of freedom
granted to her English or American
sister. She is very carefully chap
eroned young person, and when she
goes to the theater it is with her elders,
not merely with-a friend or two Of her
own age. At the dances she attends,
songs, recitations and music for the
entertainment Of the elders form a
part Of the regular programme. and the
chaperons sit ut tables socially enjoy
ing their coffee or other refreshments,
while the young folk glide over the
waxed floor to the strains Of the latest
waltz. Dutch maidens have to make
the best Of their opportunities Of
amusement, for when 1t pleases their
parents to seek the quiet of home they
must meekly accompany them. In
their country the idea of girl being
unchaperoned at n dance is not to be
thought of-at any rate, not yet.-Ex-
