The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-12-10

PLAYED BOTH ENDS, AND WON
Father John of cronstadt, the emit
nent prelate of the Greek church, must
be given credit for knowing a thing or
two.
When Father John was first APP
preached by his majesty. the ezar, and
asked for prediction concerning the
sex of the expected addition to the
Romanoff household. he communed
with himself at length and finally gave
forth prediction that 'it" would be
a girl. The prelate. who holds high
place as prophet in the mind of the
ignorant and superstitious Russians.
had probably been studying the law OF
chances with relation to medical SCI
ence and he put his prediction on
what he though to be solid ground.
But later there were many manifes-
tations Of imperial anxiety and Faith
er John was called on again. The fate
of the dynasty was at stake. II an
other girl came. there was great like
lihood that some playful grand duke
or other would put bomb under the
cars bed or add tincture OF Rough
on Rats to his morning coffee, and St
Petersburg would have another bril-
liant funeral with Father Johns pro-
tector playing the principal part.
So the prophet went into seclusion
and evolved another prediction. This
time he did what the sporting frater-
nifty would call playing long shot
he declared that the unexpected son
and heir to the troubled throne might
be soon expected.
Now. in recognition OF his prophetic
ability. the car is heaping honors
upon him. But Father John was sure
to win whichever way 1t came.

all till after the age of thirty. A tradi-
ton, superstition, belief or whatever
it may be, obtains that married women
cannot play golf as we'll as unmarried
ones. Whether matrimony shakes their
nerves and nerve so that they lose con-
fidence in themselves or whether they
lose interest in the game itself is not
made plain, but a married woman golf
er is not expected to top the heap. 1t
is pleasant to find that Mrs. Sanford
has given the prevalent superstition a
jolt. She did not fall very far short of
being the woman golf champion in the
final game in which she was beaten by
Miss Georgianna Bishop. Mrs. Sanford's
method is said to be the same as that
of Champion Walter J. Travis and con-
sists mainly in patient persistence.
Since Miss bod, the British champion.
was beaten early in the season by an
American girl, Georgianna Bishop may
be considered the worlds woman golf
champion, as few women outside of
British and Americans play the game
at ALL
1t must not be supposed, though that
there are any really great golf players
among women, whatever the future
may evolve. Not till little girls cease to

their clothes spoiled, not till they are

HOW TO MAKE THE
CHILD TRUTHFUL.

How to inculcate and encourage
truthfulness in the breast of child is
a problem which taxes the Judgment of
the best among US. 1t is one of those
inevitable problems which no parent
can escape, and it may be taken as an
axiom that the road to truthfulness
must be sought through trust, and
trustfulness can only come through
mutual sympathy, a sympathy which
enables the mother to know what de-
nlands she can and ought to make
upon the childs obedience to her higher
will and which teaches the child I'M
complainingly to accept her wishes as
law. To win this trust a mothers cor
rection should never outrun her love,
maxim never to let the sun go down
that the day has gone by with loss or
lessening of the mothers love the in
fiuence of the mother for good is dam
gerously weakened; a link is snapped
in the chain of trustfulness and a pre-
cious idol is in danger of being hope
lessly shattered. Undue harshness is
one of those irreparable errors we are
sure to regret, and as it behooves us to
temper our justice with mercy it is
equally important for mothers to tenn
per their reproofs with love. The re-
sponsibilities of motherhood are in
deed heavy, but they are not beyond
their powers, and it is within a moth
er's scope to control far more fully
than she may be ready to acknowledge
the environment of her children and to
weld their characters for good or evil.

The PERFECT NOSE.

Nothing is more rare than really
perfect nose-t.sat is, one which unites
harmony of form, correctness of pro-
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are, according to the
rules of art the conditions requisite
to the beauty of this organ:
The nose should have the same length
a s the forehead and have slight de-
preston at its root. From its root to
it's extremity it should follow a per-
fectly straight line and come exactly
over the center of the upper lip. The
bridge of the nose, parallel on both
sides, should be a little wider in the
center. The tip should be neither too
thin nor too feshy, and its lower out
line neither narrow nor too wide. The
lobes must be gracefully defined by a
slight depression. Seen sideways, the
lower part of the nose will have a third
of it's total length.

BAD MANNERS.

Ridicule is said to kill, but, sad to re-
late, neither ridicule nor vituperation
has had any effect upon the manners of
some of the men and women of the
present day who by virtue of their
birth, education and social advantages
ought to set an example in this re-
spect. Manners are, speaking gener-
ally, improving. but the absolutely
scandalous behavior of the guests at a
certain great party recently revealed
the tone of some members of society
better than a thousand journalistic til
rades or novelists' sermonettes. Even
at a swell ball the officials could not
stand upon ceremony with a guest who

sylvania. The Griscom family, whose
country place is near Philadelphia, have
done much to popularize the game in
america Mrs. Clement A. Griscom,
mother of Miss Frances Griscom, the
golf player, last year entertained at her
home the British woman champion,
Miss Rhona Adair, and this year show
ed the same gracious hospitality to Miss
Charlotte bod, the present champion of
England.
Last year Miss Rhona Adair, the pref
ty and vivacious Irish girl, defeated
our American women players in the
championship games. After she went
back home, however, she said in a con-
versation with a newspaper CORE
spondent that it was doubtful if British
women could continue to hold the
championship against American golfers.
Miss Adair was greatly impressed with
what she called the smart appearance"

The forsnken rift.

should be, is tired of her husband
pardon me, who is bored with him. We
don't hear so very much about her, be-
cause she is either supposed to be i'm
proper or without a sense of the fitness
of things. OF course it should be the
other way around; man should be the
one to be bored, and woman should
stay I , for him and devise means to
keep him from the club; but. take my
word for it, it isn't always that way in
real life. 1 know of at least half doz-
en- young matrons who are simply
bored to death and sick of life as it is.
They are women without talents or else
with husbands whose old fashioned
ideas will not let them exercise their
gifts. They are even deprived of the
mild exhilaration of flirting with other
men on account of the jealousy of their
lords and masters. Their only relaxa-
lions are pink teas and inane affairs of
that sort. From the bottom of their
starved hearts they envy the girls who
can do things in the world; they envy
even the very working girls-nay, al
most the despised spinster.
But the bored married woman does
not reign in fiction; she is too great a
blow to the conceit of man-and man
helps materially to swell the circulation
of the fiction magazine. So we have
the disappointed spinster and the SEN
timental married lady instead. And
the sooner they disappear the better.

Some Distinguished
Women Golf Players

However intent on the game, the Amer
lean woman golfer never loses sight of
becomingness in the matter of attire on
the links. Miss Adair mentioned espe-
cially the we'll cut golfing dress of our
players. Indeed, so much attention do
some of our ladies pay to their cos
tunes for golfing that there is room for
suspicion that the golf links may be
merely the arena for exhibiting the
costume.
Miss Adair paid handsome compli-
ment to the spirit and behavior of
American women players. She testi-
fed that they are thorough sportswo-
men, equally pleasant as partners or
opponents, and that she herself, as a
foreigner, found hearty appreciation,
fair field and no favor These were
kindly and graceful words from one
who had beaten our best players.
But this year the tables were turned.
Miss Adair's doubt whether British wo-
men would be able to hold the golf
championship against Americans be-
came an actual negative this year,
sooner, probably, than the fine Irish girl
expected.
The British woman champion of 1904
Miss Charlotte bod, has been famous
in athletic games over the water for
some years. When only seventeen she
won the cup given to the best woman
tennis player in Great Britain. Twice
she won the tennis cup, then turned
her attention to golf. The young lady
had advantage over most girls in that
she had big brothers devoted to outdoor
games. These gentlemen kindly coach
ed their sister in her athletic training
1t is a wonderful help when the ath-
letic girl has such brothers. Besides
getting so fine training, Miss bod is
naturally muscular and uncommonly
tall, with a generous reach of arm.
And yet, with all this in her favor
Miss bod was defeated in the first
round at match play with an American
girl Miss Pauline Mackay, who de-
feated Miss bod, is a Boston girl only
twenty years old. She belongs to the
Oakley Country club. Miss Mackay
has a short forearm swing which
makes her victory over the English
champion more notable. 1t is to be re-
membered, however, that Miss bod had
not been long in America at the time
of the game with Miss Mackay The
game was played on one of those warm
autumn days that enervate even Amer
leans who are used to them. Miss bod,
dressed for the cool weather she would
have encountered at home in autumn,
was oppressed by the heat and rendered
languid and nerveless. 1t is justice to
the English girl to say that with a cool,
bracing day she would have made a
better fight.
Some of the best women golfers in
this country are Miss Georgianna Bfsh-
op of the Brooklawn Golf club, Bridge
port, Conn; Mrs. E. F. Sanford of the
Essex County Country club Orange, N.
J.; Miss Pauline Mackay. the young
Boston player; Miss K c. Harley of
Fall River, Mass; Miss Louise Wander
hoef of New York and Miss Frances
Griscom of Philadelphia
1t is notable that in feminine golf of
1904 one of the two final contestants
for the championship was a married
lady, Mrs. E. F. Sanford; that, too,
lady who did not learn to play golf at

to procure one of these from the fiction
property box, and his story will be
''sure thing The greatest pathetic
drawing card is without doubt the old
maid; not the contented old maid-she
does not exist in story land-nor the
rich old maid, for her lot is too near
being enviable, but the poor, withered
1oweret of an old maid. She is never
large, this old maid of fiction. She is
tiny and delicate, with cameolike fea-
lures and faded blond hair, and the one
great romance of her life comes too late,
for the hero she silently worships is
sublimely unconscious of it. In spite
of his gallant attentions to her. atten-
lions which, alas. bring "a soft light
into her eyes," he only thinks of her as
a mother or an elder sister. Presently
the blow you have been expecting all
through the story falls-he confides his
love affair to her and goes down on his
knees with the girl to ask her blessing.
