TENNIS JOURNEYS
ON WANE AMONG
CITY EXPERTS
Players of New Generation Pre-
fer Friendly Practice Game
10 Sharp Contests
By Gram Smith

1t looks as though the two local
tennis clubs would allow the holiday
season to pass by without an event of
any kind. In past years New Year S
and Christmas days and the preceding
and following Sundays have brought
the cracks together in various events.
A few years ago il was customary
to hold a class singles tournament at
the California club New Years day.
This event was one of the most popular
Of the year. In the last few years,
however, the new generation. which
seems to prefer a friendly practice game
TO the more strenuous tournament
play, has changed the order of things,
and it looks as IL tournament play
would be thing of the past before the
end Of the coming year.
The California club is the oldest and
largest organization in the west, and
never had a larger membership list
or enjoyed more prosperity than it
does at present. How long this pros
perity viii last with tournaments elm
mated is a question.
Tournament play in the past has
been the life of the game, and it is to
be hoped that the newly elected board
of directors will appoint committees
that will take an interest in the club S
affairs and put some life into the mem
bers.
The Hammond cup tournament
which was started at the club two
weeks ago, was the first event held in
months, and the fact that it drew 25
players showed that the members could
easily be induced to participate in
tournaments. The tournament now in
progress has not been as successful as
many held in the past, but il is start
and shows that with good. live man
at the head OF the committee a sched-
uIe could be arranged and carried out
that would compare favorably with any
| IN past years.
/ Two tournaments will be completed
to-day. At the Park the final match OF
the handicap doubles tournament, which
was postponed two weeks ago after
two sets had been played, will be COM
pleted. The contestants will be NJ. A
Peck and James Strachan and Paul
Hardeman and Joseph Schwarz. The
] former will receive a handicap of Is.
/ Play will be resumed from the second
set, each side having set to its credit
The Maurice McLoughlin-G Rose

nit club this afternoon. These two
players, winners of the championship
and first class respectively, met in the
finals of the Hammond cup tournament

necessitated after each had won a set
The Christmas tournament by mem

THE SWINGING SETTEE.

There mas come INTO fashion crude
" made settee that does not rest on the
aoor, but swings from the wall.
II has been considered an ideal rcst-
ing place for years by many luxurious
women. Some Of the artistic homes
have these swinging couches in the liv-
ing room or private sitting room instead
OF the ordinary divan.
Oriental Fabrics.
The fashion has come about through
the importation OF a few wonderful
carved ones from the East, which are
upholstered with glowing Oriental fab
RIGS and embrOideries.
They are suspended from the wall by
iron links, and are used in the middle
of the room instead Of the corner.
So lovely is one that belongs to a
literary woman who had II swung In
the middle Of her library, then covered
with yellow satin embroidered in gold,
which had come from China. via an
army officer, that many Inferior ones
have been made.
Made of Heavy Wood.
Although these latter are not expen-
sive and are not carved they are quite
as luxurious as the other kind. They
are made Of heavy wood stained black
and jointed together 81 the mission style
without nails. There IS a woven wire
spring inserted, and above this a small
hair mattress.
Whatever one can afford in the way
OF ornamental draDery is laid over the
mattress and at both ends are heaped
cushions, many of which are stuffed
with sweet smelling herbs, spices and
mint leaves.
One can get any number of these
cushions at a small price now since such
wonderful cotton fabrics at slight cost
have been copied from the barbaric
Eastern ones

DYED SEVEN TIMES.

As green is the artistic color for house
decorations this year the manufacturers
are trying many methods to produce a
green that will not fade.
So far all wall papers and drcperies in
green that receive the effect of light
give way to dull brown or dirty ecru in
a shor- time
Therefore IL has been an expensive
color, for it has TO be renewed every
season unless one rather desires the
queer faded brown that results.
This season they are dyeing certain
green draperies for all room hanging

be quite an interesting experiment

For now thy verse has a rebeIlious
ring:
Unto the people as a gift to bring
Transmute thy gold into the common
dToss."
Oh, all who sang and, singing, bare the

YiIlon and Byron heard the selfsame
thing,
Yet had they needed and had ceased to

Were not the earth the poorer for their
loss?
Stand back in silence. as with trembling
awe
Upon the masters OF High Song 1 call;

What though my blind steps stumble

ESSENTIALS TO HEALTH.

To keep we'll, one has only 60 regard
these three essentials: Air. water, food.
There is no use looking any further if
you are H. One OF these three things
is not Of the best. You may take medi-
cine to remedy the immediate situation,
but to get well you must remedy the
cause.
Thousands of men and women go
around in a circle trying to find the
reason for their troubles. They never
look in the center ak the core.
If you feel depressed, II you have a
pain, If you are not in good condition,
/ investigate the air you breathe. ths
water you drink and the food you eat.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR
THE SEWING ROOM

Lay paper patterns on goods; press
with warm iron and pattern Will stay
in place while cutting without pin
ming.
II you want the collars Of your thin
waists 10 stay up around your neck
put piece Of betting around first. This
IS better than the stays and the collar
Will last twice as long. Colored belt
ing looks pretty under lace collars.
On extremely fine material 1t is easy
to make a neat seam by first whipping
the two edges together with very
fine thread letting the needle fold under
the raw edges as you whip IL over and
over the goods. Next turn the goods
and make q very narrow seam. This Is
frequently done with chiffon or materi-
ais that slip when sewed on the ma
chine.
Why mark Sheets with ink in a hap
heard way? II Is so easy 10 find a
nice initial IN newspapers or magazines
which may be transferred to sheets
with carbon paper and then traced with
tndeihle ink Without the slightest
cost and with little trouble a good and
uniform marking may thus be prOcureS
and, If preferred, the letters thus mark
ed may even be embroidered In this
day. when engraved headings are. the
rule, not the exception letters for the
whole family may be found too.
The usual method Of padd!lg en-
broidery designs before applying the
real embroidery pattern is tsdiOus to
say the least but there Is a simple,
quick method Of doing this work which
makes the task less labOTiOUs. Fill in
the space with the old-fashiGned chain
stitch. This stitch is maze ty throwing
the thread back Of the needle with
every stitch, producing a ne like stitch
which quickly covers space and fully
answers the purpose of padding. This
will be found very helpful when making
a centerpiece OF floral design upon thin
meshed scrim. which is most difficult
to work II Is equally helpful on solid
designs worked upor art linen.

The velver is very narrow. from half

usually placed at the base Of the lace
stock: the ends are then crossed in the
front, and a small brooch or buckle
holds them IN place. The ends left after
crossing are not over an inch or less
IN length. They are seldom placed at
the top Of the stock, being too heavy
and hot looking; besides it Is not near
~ so dainty TO have the velvet close to

HOW TO TRAIN
THE SHY GIRL

If your daughter is growing I'd too
quiet and never seems TO have anything
70 say. exert yourself to draw her out.
Lead her into general conversation at
every opportunity and let her feel that
her thoughts and opinions are Of some
weight and Importance.
Do not let her sink into that state OF
mind which Is content 10 let other peo-
pie take the burden Of conversation.
while she sits BY in apparent stupid
silence.
It is a habit which will grow upon
her and prevent her being gracious and
attractive, and Will become more deep
ly fixed If referred TO in any way
Some day her chances OF happiness
may be ruined by it.
