Portable, every man must be a law unto
himself, but there are certain general con-
ditions which all in common must observe
Two main requirements invite attention
the grip must be such as TO enable the club
10 swing freely, and ii must also be such
that when the stroke is made the club is
brought back to the same position il oc-
cupied when addressing the ball.
It is therefore essential that the hands
should be evenly balanced. If one be held
much further around the shaft than the
other, the tendency will be for them to
force a more equable distribution during
the making OF the stroke, and the shaft
will be turned around so that the ball is
net with the club face turned up or turned
down. as the case may be. In either case
a mis-hit would be the result.
Because of this it is well in addressing
the ball 10 see that the head Of the club
lies square TO the ball. and is not simply
made 10 appear so through the grip being
twisted TO accommodate it. The wrist will
soon right itself as the swing is being
made, and the club will return TO the posi-
ton appropriate 10 the way in which il is
held. The test is that the face should lie
straight behind the ball when the hands
holding the club are allowed TO hang nat
uraliy.
Common sense, moreover, should suggest
that the hands be held a close together IS
possible. so that the club may swing with
perfect freedom. 1t should be held firmly,
but not tightly The pressure of the grip
should be enough TO insure absolute con-
troll of the clubs direction. without exer-
cising any cramping or restraining effect
upon the force of the swing
Every one knows that when a stone is
tied n the end OF 4 string and swung
gently so that il moves around in a circle,
in the arrangement which mathema ticians
call ''conical pendulum" the tendency is
for the string TO become more and more

SOME OF HER INSTITUTIONS.

At Ormesson was established a sana-
torium for children suffering with tuber-
culosis There was also another at VII
liers-sur- Marne, with a large branch
dispensary. These institutions were so
besieged with patients that all could not
be attended to by the physicians or
cared for in the sanatoriums. DIR. Petit
devoted a large sum TO the establish
ment Of a paying sanatorium near
Hyeres, which was styled Mont-des-
Oiseaux. This was offered later to the
Red Cross In the neighborhood OF Tou-
lon. at San Salvador, was the chateau OF
Edmond Magnier, an old Senator. This
was acquired, and by its side was
erected a sumptuous structure, intended
as a hotel for tourists.
1t was not used as a hotel, however
for Mile. Forester in connection with 1t
made her first blunder. Apparently
with the intention of making it a source
of revenue for her work, she attempted
to turn the attractive spot into a fash
ionable resort. She asked the govern
ment to authorize the establishment of
a gambling casino in connection with 1t.
The government refused. This venture

CARELESS ABOUT SIGNATURE.

Perhaps il was the ease with which
she was able to obtain the financial as
sistance of others which made her care
less regarding the use Of her signature,
for some say that she would affx il to
almost any document which was thrust
before her. What have been the faults
and imprudences, her friends ask, that
have brought this woman, renowned for
her firm faith in religion, her initiative
in charitable work and personal dtsin-
terestedness. to the pass of arrest on g.
charge Of larceny?
How are the contradictory known facts
70 be reconciled with her previous ap-
parently sincere character? Is it simply
that a great desire 10 benefit sick and
needy children was not matched by the
ability TO manage the financial end of
others? Or has she belied her character?
It remains for the investigation of her
career TO answer these questions. II is
hinted that the names Of prominent per-
sons are connected with this curious
scandal, a scandal which has created in
France quite as profound an impression
as that of the liquidation Of the unau-
thorized congregations. The investiga-
ton is now in progress.
Apparently little is known about the
early life Of Mile. Forester, the correct
name of Sister Candide." In her earlier
years she was in a convent of the Order
Of st. Anre. from which she passed to
organize her work for tuberculous chill
dren. While a novice in the convent she
was noted for her headstrong nature

her organization, the Nuns Of Ormesson'
and her chief coadjutor. committed sui
eide. accusing Sister Candide" of bring
ing ruin upon all associated with her,
and leaving documents which have been
described as particularly injurious to
her record.
It was asserted that in the course OF
the eighteen years since the first of her
institutions was esta blished more than
S5.600,000 had passed through her
hands. It was further asserted that her
institutions had never cost her more
than $4,000 a year for maintenance.
The question was asked, What has be-
come of over S4,s00OO0 which was not
required for maintenance" This ques-
ton has not been definitely answered.
although it has been reported that she
sent large sums to the Vatican.
Since her arrest it has been declared
by the French ecclesiastical authorities
that Mile Forester, or SISTER Candide."
never took the vows of nun
Her downfall is credited by some OF
her friends in part to her inability
through her excessive kindliness of heart
to say mo to any penniless stranger
who sought entertainment in the old
medieval fashion at one of her hospices
and in part to her belief that some
miracle would save her from the conse-
uuences of a lack of balance between the
two sides of her ledger
New-York tribune., 1910-06-12

first aroused a suspicion as to her busi-
ness methods and the real condition Of
her financial affairs. It was turned into
a thermal establishment and sanatorium
for children.
An old convent on the Rue de la Pompe.
Passy in Paris, was also opened as
sanatorium. These various institutions
were expensive to operate, and the re-
suits were not all that were hoped for.
She won for her cause many friends
high in the social life of France. Ex-
President Loubet was the honorary head
of the sanatoriun at Ormesson. NJ.
Casimir- -Perier, another ex-President of
France, showed his interest by presiding
at a meeting Of the patrons Of another
of her philanthropic enterprises, while
NJ. Wa1deck- Rousseau, as Premier, be-
slowed upon her the red ribbon Of the
Legion of Honor.
LOTTERIES PROVED COSTLY.
The beginning of her financial mis-
fortunes is believed to have been the
lotteries which the government author
lied her to open for the production Of
funds to carry on her work. While these
lotteries were very popular, owing to
the favor in which her work was held,
and millions of francs passed through
her hands as a result, it was generally
believed that they did not yield the
funds necessary TO meet the heavy ex-
penditures. This has been credited to
Sister Candides" lack of business abil-
ity. AS time passed she engaged in other
enterprises, some of which have been
characterized as foolish ventures" in
volving a waste of immense sums of
money. She is said to have invested in
patent medicine undertakings. Recently
1t was discovered that she had placed
in country towns a hundred slot ma
chimes for which no payment had been
made. These are reported to have
brought in a large revenue. She pub
lished a small magazine called 1.-The
Welfare of the Little Ones" and is de-
clared to have been interested in a
theatrical project.
A suspicious fact in her career has
been her dislike OF publicity Of her finan-
cial affairs. The protection which was
afforded by the high character of her
patrons for a time served her in this
New-York tribune., 1910-06-12

and domineering temper. She did noI
as has been said, take permanent vows
but upon leaving the convent continued
TO wear the habit of the order. The or
ganization which she formed eighteen
wears ago she styled the Nuns OF Ormes-
son. Associated with her from the hrst
was DR.. Petit. Together they developed
the large charitable work for which,
ostensibly, SISTER Candide" raised the
money.
