 on Series

Schwengers today gave much better account of himself against Wilding than he did against Brookes. and at the start of his match seemed to have a chance to win. The marvellous ae- curacy of the tall New zealander. how ever, triumphed in the end. The Canadian was forced all over the court by Wild ing, while the latter barely moving, did practically his work with his wrist and racquet.

For Pett Ridge is as drily funny outside his books as he is in and used to keep a favored few of us in fits when he made us welcome, as he frequently did, to the rooms he used to occupy in the rather drab road that leads to the yet drabber Camden Town, where he used to get most of his types
 One night I remember when he had been interviewing number of board school teachers with a view to getting them to let their children attend some entertainment or other, he read us a lot of unconsciously funny letters from these school ma ams regarding the proposition and his comments on these missives com pleted the mirth-provoking process.

 As for Jerome K. Jerome, who is. or at all events, used to be, one of Pett Ridges closest pals. perhaps he will turn 10 and give us another novel or two, since Fortune seems so disinclined to smile upon him as a dramatist.
