the public attention as tennis cham
pion. is also somewhat of a philosopher,

STARE an antidote for the person of pre-
mature romance. / said % years, be-
cause [ Judge entirely by the nearly
universal happiness of the English
wives, and they don t marry young. Do
YOU hear much of divorce in England
No; and here it is growing to be act
nally distinct feature of this country.
/ have often thought perhaps the Eng
1ish girls tendency to sports has some
thing to do with her observation-disclosures
concerning men. Athletics aren t spe-
eially conducive to sentiment.
amy athletic girl, American or Eng
Iish. is not as apt to marry young as
the typical society girl. The society
girl lives in the atmosphere of dancing,
of music, of soft lights and of flattery.

is considered quite poor form for a de-
butante not to marry at least two years
after her coming out. L don't mean
that society isn't necessary to a girl s
development, but I do mean that ath-
letics is the best antidote for the per-
son of premature love affairs
