snow-whte ball, drew from the bag the
driver, and then--consulted the book
The crowd Erinned, giggled, laughed.
But of other actions the red haired one
seemed utterly oblivious. After placing
the open book upon the sand she went
as deliberately to work to copy the OIL
lustration on the page as if she had
been alone on the links. After a few
preliminary Notwithstanding to di-
rection-she elevated her club. brought
it down to earth with a terrific whacl1
and raised cloud of sand, but left the
ball mistaken on the tee. This seemed
to astonish her, but after consulting the
book again she essayed another trial.
This time the ball r lied reluctantly
away a few feet in the direction of the
lagoon.
The crowd shrieked with amusement.
The red haired divinity was as indf-
ferent as a deaf mute With unruflel
face she consulted the book once more,
inserted the driver in the bag, extracted
the midiron and went after the ball.
The trio of impatient boys Immediately
following her were obliged to wait until
she had taken ten strokes-and the
crowd had had ten spasms-before she
was far enough out of range for them
to proceed. BY that time she had lost
the ball and had ceased temporarily to
be a retarding force in the game.
In three hours she had reached the
third hole, her course thereto being
marked by a zigzag line of plowed-up
sod and followed by volley of hot Eng
ish expdetives expressive of rampant
emotion.
For three weeks she appeared daily
on the links, obivious alike to heat CT
wind or criticism During all that time
the only improvement noticeable in her
playing was the absence of the little
black book.
Then she stopped coming and has
never been seen since. Had she become
discouraged? 1t hardly seemed pos
Sible.

WHY THIS SALESMAN FAILED

He was too anxious.
He lacked resourcefulness.
His tongue outlasted his brain.
He could not read human nature.
He did not work by program.
He did not know how to approach
men.
He did not carry confidence or con-
viction.
He could not take rebuff good-na-
turedly.
He did not bring the whole man to
his task.
He was not a man before he was a
solicitor.
He ran down his competitor and dis
gusted people.
He went in the spirit of Il will try
instead of II will"
He scattered too much could not
concentrate his talk.
He knew enough, but could not tell
il in an interesting way.
He did not believe he could get an
order when he went for it.
He did not have reserve argument
enough to overcome objections.
He spent most of his time trying to
overcome bad first impression.
He was too long-winded. People got

New Beauty Sleep

Women who wish to be handsome
must sleep face downward. At least
that is what Nine. Linda Ross Wade
told the women at the dressmakers'
convention. Incidentally she gave
demonstration of the real thing, with
the aid OF brass bed and a model in a
beribboned 'nightie" Now, when [
studied physiology" said Nine. Wade,
Il learned that people ought to sleep on
their sides. 1 slept that way for many
years before l found 1 was wrong 1t

gan to study the matter, and came to
the conclusion, after a scientific process
Of reasoning, that the proper way to
sleep is face down."
Then the model gave an illustration
Of how to do it. First, she lay on her
back, and then slowly rolled over on
her face, hiding completely the decor
ations on the robe de mutt. Then she
pulled pillow from a surplus stock
az the side of the bed and tucked it un-
der her chin. That didn't seem to fit
altogether, for there was something
wrong at the foot, so another pillow
was requistioned and placed at the
foot of the bed. The inner curves of
the ankle seemed to dovetaiI with the
pillow, and the toes We're tucked in
between the footboard and the mattress.
the pillow readjusted under the chin
and the head rested upon a third pill

sigh of satisfaction, you see the proper
position in which you should lie when
you sleep. If you want to get the
correct poise you must sleep this way.

you do. Fashion doesn't amount to

Got II From
the Golf Book

HE first appeared at the golf links
in the park one day in early June,
~ sat awhile patching the players
and then went away. She returned the
following day and the next also. On
the third day she brought with her
book, little black covered volume on
which was splashed in glaring gilt this
title: "How to Play Golf
Her intention was evident. She was
learning the game.
With diligent regularity she came
every afternoon for five days and
studied that book for an hour or two,
comparing the players with the illus
trations in the volume. She was always
alone. Never addressed any person and
was spoken to by no one. There was
something in her air that repelled
familiarity. She was foreign looking
woman, tall, handsome, well developed,
and about-well, a little past the age
when birthdays are an unmlXed JOY.
Her hair was as brilliantly red as
stormy sunset and very luXuriant, ap-
parently, though, of course, one can
never be quite sure. AS If to accen-
tuate the redness of her hair she in
variably carried gorgeous red parasol.
Most ornamental she looked as she
sat there on the bench under her GRIM
son canopy, .poring over the little book.
But one sad Saturday she ceased be-
ing a bench ornament and became in
stead a public nuisance. On that par
ticular day she arrived early with gay
plaid bag slung across her shoulder con-
tanning three unscratched shining golf
clubs. In her hand she carried the book
the little black book with the gilt
title. Having procured ticket from
the attendant, she seated herself. While
waiting her turn she carefully conned
the pages, after first rolling her sleeves
to her elbows like the golf girls on the
calendars. When her number was called
she marched unconcernedly over to the
teeing ground. built miniature hill Of

Wherein some double meanings lurk;
You'll have to have it spicy too

Its Passing

surprise for you. 1 am informed by
Mr. George Rice, sr., who did so much
for the destruction of the cotton
cushion scale in the years de-
scribed, that on turning over a cluster
of a geranium on the cornice of his
house at Highland, the other day. he
found lot of these pestilent scale and
strange to say there was. side by side,
the lady bug, which has reappeared
promptly with Mr.. Cushiony. on whom
she had already done her work. He
found this also to be the case with
some rose bushes. AS the remedy
comes with the disease, there is no
occasion for alarm.
