 living in the city who owned one of these portieres whom l could call on. to inspect it. MRS. J. T. B." Can some one supply full directions for making such portieres? As l recall them the grains of corn were strung on stout cords something in the fashion of the Japanese curtains which Josh Whitcomb described as $ whiplash curtains" These last were made of beads or other non edible materials, but the corn portieres had the disadvantage of offering attrac- tions to hungry rodents, and have heard of more than one corn drapery which was ruined by the nibbling of mice. The strings on which the grains are held yield quickly to the attack of sharp teeth, and one break brings the whole line to the ground. None the less, the corn portieres are attractive when grains of good color Are chosen, and hope the correspondent may have a chance to view the hangings and to receive instructions for making them. Our Cornerites may write to me for the address of Mrs. J. T. B. with view to granting her request.

Anthony Wilding Would Per.
init but One Serve, Com
Pelling Accuracy.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-At the annual
meeting OF the United States Lawn Ten
ms association, 10 oe held here OH Fri
day, new rules defining the amateur and
foot-fault In service viii be considered.
Some attempt Will he made TO enact
rules conforming 10 those recently adopt
ed by the international Lawn Tennis fed
Grafton.
In this connection players will be sur
priscd to learn that Anthony Wilding,
worlds singles champion. advocate
changing the service rules 10 but one
serve in place OF the double chance now
permitted by the rules. Wlding believes
there Is a universal demand for speeding
up the game at all points. He thinks that
the substitution OF one service for two
would not only shorten sets. but also
would improve the general standard OF
service.
The player who hits more or less blind
ly at his first effort, conscious that its
failure need not necessarily bar him from
winning the point, would be forced 60 cul-
tivate more restraint and therefore more
skill in placing his delivery Thus lie con-
tends that the service Of the average
player, now often loose and Improbable,
must essentially improve. since greater
care would be expended on its delivery.
Wilding believes that the difficulty OF
administering the present foot-fault rule
would disappear when the penalty in
volved the loss Of the ace: players woulG
