The test of bunker lies in its power
of catching and keeping a badly hit ball.

are found on most inland courses fail to

saws Golf illustrated. has made a sue
cessful attempt to overcome this difficulty
by building the banks almost perpendic-
ular and covering them closely with line
wire netting. This efectua1ly stops the
run of a topped shot and the netting
while preventing the ball from becoming
embedded in the turf, allows It to roll
back far enough TO give the player
fair chance of recovery.
"The majority of players. says Mr..
Hilton .'are not as good putters at forty
years Of age as they were when they
were twenty to twenty-five" This is an
arguable point. says Golf Illustrated.
for there is no doubt that the majority
of good players lose their driving and APP

and at forty many still play about as

that good pEtters of twenty to twenty

THIEVES ROB JEWELER

MILAN, December g. 1913.
During the luncheon hour the other day

Golf has been sneered at as being an
old mans game, one in which the exer-
else afforded is so slight as to be I'M
worthy Of youth. says the World of Golf
The energy expended during the course
of round in hitting a golf ball is much
more considerable than the onlooker
imagines. Despite the advice of the pro-
fessor to avoid pressing. there are few
of us who when playing full shot with
any club do not give the bal! all We know
and exercise most muscles from head to
foot. On those unhappy occasions when
the ground receives most of the blow
the human frame is even more severely
tried
! his is only one part OF the exercise
golf affords. Most of us play two rounds
in day. and two rounds on courses of
average length entail at least eight or
nine miles walking
To several golfers the hiily course is
anathema. yet why this should be is hard
10 see We play golf largely for eXer-
cise-the finest exercise in the world is
mountaincering-an VIXEN a course af-
lords the trials OF the hillside and the
JOYS of the hilltop It deserves blessing
rather than cUrsng. The higher critics
have pronounced the plain to be the most
testing battlefield OF golf. but the most
testing golf is not always the most en-
joyablc. Though ii is undoubtedly diff
iicUit to hit a ball accurately when
struggling for breath and with fast beat

Tramp London Streets.

Many old buffers are hopelessly tramp
ing the streets of London. Some of them
have come to grief owing to some slight
slip in civility Tor which they were re-
morsely punished by employers with little
sympathy OF tolerance. But the chief
cause of the slump in buffers is the fact
that people now prefer to employ parlor
maids In their place. 1t is quite common
Tor big house to have half dozen par
Tor maids, who often do work which used
TO be the monopoly of men servants.
Buffers as a class seem to have the
knack of misfortune. In the old days they
were fond of putting their savings into a
small public house. but nowadays they
are fonder of investing in a shop. and 1
am told that In nine cases out of ten they
invest foolishly and lose their money.
Then. with great difficulty, they get back
into service.
Another new tendency among employers
is to engage married couples. The wife is
expected to be cook-housekeeper, and the
man is the butler. Mistresses say that il
gives a sense of security TO have mar
ried couple living in the basement and for
another thing 1t is easier for the family
to leave home IL they can leave the house
In steady hands.

LONDON DOCTOR NOTES
CHANGE IN WOMAN TYPE
Outdoor Life and Vocation Said to
Affect Features and
Manners.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star

LONDON. December ), 1915.
The type of woman has changed
said DR.. Claye Shaw in lecture at the
Institute of Hygiene on THE Nervous
Factor in Womans Health ''She has
become harder in feature and more
wrinkled,'' he adds: her complexion
is affected by her outdoor life; she is
more independent: she has less reverence
for authority, has fewer home interests
and is less of stay-at-home.'
The doctor declared that the present
style of dress in women, in its shortness
and tightness to display the figure, was
mistake as doing away with the mys-
terry in women.
Sport is bad marriage market" the
doctor declared. The sporting girl be-
comes. too. like the man, and exposes
her character to him too much Besides,
as rule. She neglects her home.
You can always tell the sporting girl
at home Bicycles thrown together and
never cleaned. hockey sticks heaped to-
gether monkeys over the backs of
chairs. ill-shaped, muddy shoes without
lasts. meals at casual intervals. Then
there is the acquired bucoic look and
the athletic carelessness of department
DIR. Shaw drew a moral from the ex-
cesses of the suffragettes: For years
men have endowed women with all the
virtues and have not thought of the
other side of the picture. They now
know that there is another side, that
women can be just as obstinate. spiteful
and-may ! say it?-devilish AS men are.

LONDON, December g. 1913.
change has come over English GUS
toms in more ways than one Of recent
years, and perhaps the last to be shat
tered is. the position of the butler who
formerly reigned almost supreme in Eng
fish houses Of the great. He was an
institution hOnored in Punch and prolific
I'm novels, but like other habits he is
going. n,anageress of a highly select
servants registry gives some interesting
details of the domestic problem as it
works out in the big west end houses
The most striking feature of the work
Is that concerned with buffers There
is noticeable tendency in the west end
to do without buffers nowadays partly
because people are cutting down expenses
In big households. and partly because
buffers as class are less popular than
formerly. Ones notion that the butler
Is the aristocrat of servants who spends
lifetime in the honored service of a
great house is not borne out by facts
On some mornings you may see as many
as twenty unemployed buffers who have
been in the best houses, sitting in the
neat waiting room of the select registry
-\nd there is probably not single appli-
cation on the books.

Naughty Prussians Hated.

The south Germans are genial and
kindly race. With them. perhaps. the
Aisatians might live in peace; but the
cold and naughty Prussians from the
frigid north they hate. So they treasure
little pictures of girls in Alsatian peasant
costume who point reproachfully To from
tier signboards marked on the one side
France" and the other .-Alsace."
And they long all the time for the land
from which they are cut OH by the
mountain barrier OF the Nosges.
These Nosges are a natural frontier if
ever there was one. Indeed. il il because
this center of Alsace is so patiently
markinS-oIf line between nations that il
has given the politicians and the genera l.
such trouble. Man will not SIT down like
a wise child and give nature best. The
French defed the obvious structure o.
the earth, Swooped over and took the
place; but so clearly was it not made for
them that two centuries of French occu-
patton did not secure their possession.
and France had to pay by the humiliation
of 1870 for the old sins OF Louis XIV.
From the German side many valleys ar
proach the frontier. You go uD these val
leys. and at the very end. just as you
think you might pass into France: Your
way is barred by great blank precipces,
hundreds of feet of granite rising sheer
from inhy lakes. This is the wall Of
France. To pass the frontier YOU must
search about between the precipices and
climb through the dense forests OF beech
and pine that cIotae the dizzy slopes.
Such hills are more of q severance be-
tween nations than sea.
