WAIDNER WON OUT
IN TENNIS TOURNEY
CHICAGO STAR To CD
AGAINST K. COLLINS
Jayne and Love Put Up Sensa-
tional Game Against Visit
ing Cracks.

The finals in the Northwestern Ten
his association tournament at Deephav-
en- were played yesterday afternoon and
resulted in the winning of the tourna-
ment championship by L. H. Waidner
Of Chicago Waidner will play. Kreigh
Collins Monday afternoon for the
Northwestern championship. The ma
jority of the close followers of the
game look for Collins to win.
Waidner s victory over Nat Emerson
was something Of surprise. After the
defeat of Hunt Friday by the Cincin-
natl crack, nearly every one. predicted
that Emerson would get the cup. Emer-
son was handicapped in the match by a
game knee, acquired in the match on
the previous day. The match was full
of spirited play and at times so spec
tators on. the lawn on either side would
rise to their feet and applaud the play
ers to the echo. The sets and games,
however, were not so successively close
and hard fought as those Of the Hunt
Emerson match of the day before.
Waidner took the first two sets. 6-3,
6-3. The next set was taken by Emer-
plays. The streak was shortlived, how.
ever, and Waidner took the next and
deciding set by Ga.
A greater surprise than the outcome
of the singles for the afternoon was
the result of the last match of the
doubles. Jayne and Love won the match
over the two cracks, Emerson ant
Waidner. by 60, 6-1, 2-6, 6-4. Loy'
and JAYNE played remarkably well, boil
individually and collectively.
The week 3 tennis showed some de
cided improvement on the part of man,

participants, Greer, Storms and Tel

SIMPLE GOWN OF WHITE.
Idea in Chiffon BroadcIoth Comes
from Paris.

White chiffon broadcloth is always
charming and the Partisan dress
makers have sent over many hand
some models in this material. One Of
these, though simple in outline and
detail, is distinctly successful, and has
already been much admired.
The skirt falls in soft folds from
tiny vertical plaits, which fit it close
ly around the hips, and on the bottom
is an interlacing design formed of the
most infinitesimally minute pinched
up tucks taken in the cloth. The effect
is almost that of very fine cord trac-
ing design upon the cloth surface,
and this handling of the cloth, with no
slightest pickering of the surface, is
a triumph of skilful tailoring, for all
the apparent simplicity of the effect
obtained
The bodice of the frock is as simple
In Outline as the skirt. 1t crosses in
surplice fashion low in front, the
fronts ending in rounded tabs but
toned down to a girdle by big shaded
brown pearl buttons set in. gold rims.
The deep girdle has a pitted lower
part of cloth adorned with the tucked
cording, but around the top of the
girdle is draped width of soft silk
shading from white to light warm
brown, with charming color graduation.
This silk is drawn up in the back to

FIND MIRROR A NECESSITY.

The chatelaine mirror is becoming
an indispensable part of the toilet of
the young woman, as the heart locket

The girl of to-day has discovered
that it is not box Of sweets that she
most needs, or the sight of the face
of some absent friend, but her own
countenance to look at whenever she
will.
Kind owners of shops and ferry
boats, cars and hotels have put up
mirrors everywhere for the use OF
the feminine half Of the world, but
women have found that they must
often look into them with dim or dingy
backgrounds and surroundings, so
they have taken to mirror Of their
own.

BY MARGARET E. sANesTER.

Memory is pack-horse able to
carry safely whatever is entrusted to
him, if it be. properly fastened and
adjusted. If the latter precautions
are neglected he is liable to drop bits
of his load along the highway, and
the strong probability is that they
will not be worth picking up.
Memory is servant, sometimes
we'll trained and responsible, some
times lazy and inefficient. Memory
is a useful friend or treacherous
foe. Memory is a mechanical device,
convenient so long as it is in smooth
working order, and exasperating when
it slips out of gear at an unlucky mo-
ment. To drsp smile, memory is a
quality of the brain which it is in
your power to strengthen or weaken
precisely as you please.
The familiar adage that in early
childhood impressions are most last
ing and that the mind is then wax to
receive and marble to retain, has be-
come a commonplace. During the
earliest years there is great activity
in the human mind, growth and devel-
opment are extremely rapid. there is
expansion on every side, and children
learn with great facility. One often
observes with amazement the won
derful memory of precocious infant,
who recites with accuracy long
poems and fables before the lips have
acquired the trick of perfect speech.
To hear asbaby fuently repeat nurs-
cry jingles in pretty broken English
is very amusing, yet the exercise is
by no means wholesome, nor does it
necessarily imply that the memory
will be retentive at later date. Par
ents would better discourage too
much memorizing by very small chill
dren. AS they grow older and begin
school life in earnest they may lay
the foundations for trustworthy
memory of incidents and events by
the thoroughness and exactness with
which they perform their school du-
ties. The ease with which children
and young people memorize would
never be lost if, as they grew older,
they continued the habit of study.
In many people memory becomes
atrophied, just as would an arm
were it tied up and kept stationary
for months at time. They give
memory nothing to do and it loses
the faculty of doing anything when
called upon.
To retain a vigorous memory it is
we'll to give it daily exercise. The
Rev. F. w. Robertson, famous d.
vine in his day, and one whose infiu-
ence was felt around the globe, mem
orized the entire Greek Testament by
the method of learning two or three
verses every morning while he was
dressing.
Association helps to fix things in
memory Thus, if one desires to re-
member friends residence, it may
be done by mental process involv-
ing the use of the multiplication or of
a little problem in long division,

will prevent balls jumping off the
ground when the border is used as
cushion for carom shots. The bound
airy lines, which are drawn 30 inches
from the borders simply mark the
place for the positions of the balls for
beginning plays and obtaining uni
form distances for the inside field.
To begin game of lawn billiards
the balls are placed in the four cor
ners of the ground. Partners balls
should lie diagonally opposite each
other, the playing ball and the next
in sequence to be placed at the head
of the grounds. Then the object is
to get the balls through the. wickets
much as in the game of croquet.
At Ninth street and Tauromee ave-
nue., West side, preparations have
been made to play the game. The
ground is level, underlaid with Gin
ders, with layer of sand, which is
sprinkled and rolled with a heavy
iron roller before each game. The
surface is hard and smooth.

upon the wall of memory and is as
plain to me as if seen with bodily

the twin factors in bolstering mem

OF course there are always calen-

difficulty in keeping hold of what is
going on in the active circle of the

the thread of the present day and the
mind gropes in search of missing
clue, then one has begun to grow old.

What shall I do?" The advice given
her was to take a single fact or a
single incident each day and go over
and over that, not suffering it to
elude her, and fixing her whole at

it became a real possession. 1t was
slow work, but resolution triumphed,
and in the end her memory again
served her with faithfulness.

to cut entirely loose from drugs and
to live in the open air, regaining by

as the game of billiards is different
from croquet The only likeness to
the time honored and antiquated game
is that mallets and wickets are used.
The mallets have short handles and
the wickets and balls are small. Think
about having to shoot ball through
a wicket with only a space of about
three inches between the wires! You
could not drive one of the old time
croquet balls through such a wicket
with a sledge hammer, because the
old balls were large and the wickets
were wide between the wires.
The dimensions of the grounds
used, says the Kansas City Star, are
~ feet in length; sc feet wide; corner
pieces s feet long. These are inside
measurements with line denoting
the boundary of the field 80 inches
from the inside of the border. The
stakes are 1 inch in diameter and u
inches high, situated outside of the
denoting line at the center of the
width of the field. The first wicket is

The side wickets are feet and 3
inches from the border on line with
the second wicket from each stake.
There is a cage or double wicket in

angles with a line drawn from stake

are to be 81 inches between the
wires. The wickets should be set in
blocks of wood buried in the ground.
The borders should be of hard
wood, that will not warp, laid fiat to
serve as cushion for carom shots.
