THE FIRST ANNUAL
 TENNIS TOURNAMENT
All of the Events hut One, Disposed
 of Yesterday.

The second days play of the open tennis tournament which is being played at the courts of the Phoenix Country club took place yesterday and the ladies' singles and the mems sin gles were completed. Of the ladies' event, Miss Ruth Ainsworth was the winner and of the gentlemen's singles Edward Penick was the winner The only event not completed is the mixed doubles event, which will be played next Saturday afternoon The day could not have been a better one for tennis playing, ana as a result there were some very pretty contests Par ticularly was this so in the gentle mems singles event, when the final was played by Messrs. Penick and Ayre. A very interesting round was the last in the ladies' singles, when Miss Ainsworth wrested the ladies' championship from Miss Fraiser. Dur ing the afternoon the veranda of the club house was crowded with visitors and presented a gay sight. Many of the visitors were from Tempe and came to applaud for the Tempe candi- date for honors.
 The prize won by Miss Ainsworth. with the ladies' championship, was a small clock donated by the Country club. This was not ner first victory she having won an interscholastic tour nament at Tempe several weeks ago, the ladies' singles event. MT. Penick. the winner of the gentlemen's singles, becomes the owner of the first prize offered for this event a handsome sil- yer loving cup, presented by the mer- chants of the city. IL will be engraved showing the date of the tournament and the event for which it was award ed Mir Penicl1 has been victorious on the tennis courts before. Last year at Sewnee, Tenn, at the University of the South. he won a silver cup having defeated in an open tournament several of the best players of the state. It will be recalled that MT. Penick with Ar thur AinswoTth won the doubles in the present tournament last Thursday.
 During the tournament Mir. Colder of Tempe acted as umpire and his de- cisions were at all time justly made His courtesy was very much appreci- ated by all of the players. Much of the success of the tournament was due to the efforts of Arthur Afnsworth under whose direction the affair was planned and so successfully carried out. It is now definitely decided that the event will be made an annual af- fair and the one just closed will be called the first annual open Phoenix tennis tournament.

professional merit is made merely be- cause he is an acquaintance, or is a good fellow or is in ones set or has a pull From this fact it also follows that an undue premium is placed on such adventitious qualities as personal magnetism and ability to hustle at the expense of the man who either can not or will not work people and who depend for recognition solely on pro- fessional merit. It therefore not infre- quently happens that a first class man has a reputation among his confreres wholly out of proportion to the extent of his practice. and that in fact, he may have an absurdly small income.
 This lack of status and of adequa te public comprehension leads people to demand of architects without renum- eration' sketches that largely solve the plan problem and determine the main lines of the design; and similarly to ex- pert architects to compete without pay save to the one who chances to please. If the self-respecting architect accedes to the demand for an unpaid, catch-as- catch-can competition, not ju6egd by experts, he is handicapped by being placed in competition with those who make catchy meretricious designs, or who wilfully deceive as to probable cost, and who thereby seem to offer more for the money
 The complexity of modern life as echoed in modern buildings is so great that the work of the conscientious ar- chitect is arduous and wearing fin the extreme. if he faithfully tries to be and to continue reasonably well posted on the technical processes that enter into the buildings he is called upon to erect. His leisure will be proportioned to his neglect of things he ought to know and to do-an unfortunate situation for conscientious man, but inherent in the situation of the smaller architect whose compensation does not permit the employment of specialized depart mental heads"

FURS.

Sable is the most expensive of all furs," a furrier said. "The emperor of Russia, the emperior of China and the duchess of Edinburg have the finest collection of sables in the world. The czar has a sable coat that is worth $22,OOO.
 "A sable skin is twelve inches long and five inches wide, with tail of six inches. A fine dark skin is worth S1O5. An exceptionally fine. dark one is worth sS5O
 "Otter is the only fur that requires no dressing. It is beautiful, but women dislike it because it is very heavy. It is mostly used for the collars and cuffs of mems coats.
 "A silver fox skin. when black, Is very expensive-often it is worth $40O. A Chicago woman has a mantle lined and trimmed with silver fox that cost $1O,OOO.
 "The best seals come from Alaska. The skins run from three to seven feet in length. They come to us packed with salt, in casks like mackerel. We buy them soaked in brine, stiff rough, dirty In this condition we must de- eide on their value. It takes years to become a good seal buyer. and the best of buyers often get fooled. '
 "Ermine is nothing more nor less than the winter coat of a weasel. The weasel is white in winter. In the sum- mer it is brown.
 "The most fashionable fur is a very broad stole of dark Russian sable, with an ermine lining. Such stoles are worth S5,OO0 apiece. Shal I wrap you up six."-Los Angeles Times.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the nerve centers. Properly digested food furnishes these reservoirs of life with vitality which leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus nourishes life.
 Peruna is in great favor among women, especially those who have vOca- tions that are trying to the nerves.
 Peruna furnishes the lasting vigor for the nerves that such people need.
 Thousands of testimonials from women in all parts of the United States are being received every year. Such unsolicited evidence surely proves that Peruna is without an equal as a nerve tonic and vital invigorator.

Nervousness is very common among women. This condition is due to anemic nerve centers. The nerve centers are the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These centers become blocdless for want of proper nutrition.
 This is especially true in the spring season. Every spring host of invalids are produced as the direct result of weak nerves.
 This can be easily obviated by using Perura. Peruna strikes al the root of the difficulty by correcting the digestion.
