more or less frivolous and light-hearted
spirit. nothing Is more remarkable than
the seriousness of the modern sports

oppressive silence.
Women no longer bring laughter and
merriment into the games they take up.
On ladies' golf links there are fewer
voices heard than when men are en-
gagged in the game. and even the ex-
citement of the hockey ground IS not
considered an excuse for those small
squeals Of triumphs and walls OF despair
which we're common 10 the early days OF
the game.
