INCREASINGLY is the worst said G~eorgianna
Lancaster emphatically
Georgianna and Claire Adams and Julia
Wilson were sitting in a corner of the
veranda Of the Clarkson camp in the Adj

three women are gathered together the
topic was mt G~eorgianna's remark
was not Of general application. 1t was
aimed directly at one Of their fellow guests
who had come to visit the Clarksons only
three days before.
Matters had been dull In this house party
In the mountains since Guelph Higgins, the
actor. and Dorothy Millbank. cousin OF the
hostess, Margaret Clarkson, had departed.
Their romantic courtship and its dramatic
ending had made things lively.
Dorothy had summoned her father and
mother and was in New York preparing for
an early wedding while the actor was re-
hearsing his new play. He had offered his
fano6e a part in it. but she changed her
mind and decided to forego a stage career.

The new arrival who was now an object
Of interest to Georgianna and her friends
had the name Of Prudence Ames and in
tended to keep It. or course shc expected
to marry some day. but she had determined
to make the name Of Prudence Ames famous
quite independently Of any name she might
later On acquire.
This girl-ehe was not much more than
al-had apparently all the markings Of the
woman who prides herself on the fact that
her husband Is known only because he is
her husband and not because he is himself.
Prudence was fresh from college, where she
had acquired a deal Of those vast stores
Of knowledge they sing about in Alma

She displayed her erudltion on every
occasion and wondered why it failed to
arouse admiration. II It had been yue-
gested to her that learning to be val liable
should be tempered with experience she
wouldn't have known what you meant.
She could not be called good looking.
Severely plain is a phrase that one heard
In reference to her, and it seemed to fit. She
had brown hair OF no particular tint. fea-
lures somewhat irregular, and her dark
eyes looked through spectacles. spectacles

MORE VICTIMS OF THE AUTO.
Golnng and Sailing Affected by the Present
nage for Motoring.

It Ia to the charm Of the motor that the de-
cline OF interest In golf at country places
Is now attributed. 1t may be true that the
golf clubs situated near cities find no loss
Of patronage. yet the situation is different
at the watering places.
When men get away from New York they
want to do something more exciting than
play golf. So there is ak Of selling the
property and dissolving the golf club at
Newport. East Hampton has ten appli-
oants for it's tennis courts. while the beauti-
full links are never crowded. and other Long
Island golf clubs not readily accessible
from the city have the same story to tell.
Clubs in Rhode Island. such as those at
Watch Hill and Narragansett. have been
similarly affected. The clubs that attract
members In large numbers are nowadays
suburban. On the other hand the tennis
courts, wherever they may be. are never
neglected.
Although the golf courses may have suf-
fered, their case To- not 30 full OF human

There 10 little sailing. and consequently

Few q them are young men, and the boats
out OF which they formerly made a livelihood
are In many cases their only capital. They
sit at their piers waiting FOR parties that

a cloud Of dust toward inland roads.

philosophically as he watched many So
journers at q Rhode Island resort rolling
away In the motors that were TO land them
