TOMS FIRST IMPRESSION

Mrs. Kent watched her son Tom as he assisted Miss SheTwIn into his motor car.
 T do wish that he'd fall in love with her and that she'd marry him. she said wlstfU4Iy as the car rounded the corner and Miss SheTWlu turned and waved her hand at her hostess. And l believe Rhoda would Il he'd just go at 1t right"
 Her daughter. to whom Mrs. Kent was speaking. laughed.
 Did you ever know Tom to go at
 There, indeed, was the rub. Tom never did go at things" right. While he was not of that OdiOus fraternity that goes about boosting that it says just what it thinks" and while he was not in the least vaingloriOus about this pecuiarity he simply could not help telling the truth disastrously.
 Sometimes I feel as if there were really something wrong with him. his mother used to mourn. How can he be as intelligent as he seems and yet say the perfectly dreadful things that he does? You know, there are times when I'm really afraid he never will get anybody to marry him-that Is, Of course. any desirable person. This most unnatural fear shows her des- peFate state of mind.
 Mrs. Kent had been quietly delight ed when Rhoda SheTWin, the daugh- ter of an extremely prosperous old friend, came to visit them and seemed to take a decided liking to Tom. Rhoda was desirable in every way. She was far from pretty in her re fined, sinuous blondness, but she was most attractive, if you happened to he discriminating enough to admire her type. And then she would have plenty of money. and money was So convenient. Of course nothing could have been more distasteful to Mrs. Kent than to have her son marry brazenly for money but there was no reason why he shouldn't fall in love with sweet. refined girl like Rhoda-
 With utmost delicacy Mrs. Kent nursed the incipienJ love affair along. Her maternal hoverings were tactfUJ and uRobtrusive her method subtle. guided into showing the guest seemed spontaneous.
 The night before Miss Sherwin was to return to her home Mrs. Kent, hay ing sent her son and the young woman out for a moonlight stroll in the clear, cold beauty of a January night. re- tired to her Spartan couch in the sleeping porch, feeling that, whatever might be. she had done her best. The sIeepin~ porch, by the way. was G- rectly over the front entrance to the house. Hope rose high in her breast as she went sereneIy to sleep.
 Some time later she awoke. The first thing she realized was that her sleeping cap had slipped from over one ear. The second was that. owing to this fact certain sounds were reaching her. There were two voices one was soft and murmuring, the other clear cut and distinct. Instantly Mrs. Kent was on the alert. Casting aside all sense of honor. but retaining her multitudinous coverings as well as she could she softly dragged herself up could sea Miss Sherwin's long, pale face uplifted to the sparkling winter sky.
 With her chin pressed to the top of the railing, Mrs Kent listened.
 T always wonder" Rhoda was saying softly, about other peoples minds. their thoughts, don't you know If we could just know how

 While rapid progress is being made in the matter of accommodating spec tators at these matches the same can net be said of the assembling of the players who will form the teams of the leading entrants. considered as nations. Australasia is to date the only competitor with it's team formed and practicing as a whole. In view of the formidable aggregation of play CTS that the Antipodes possess in Broc&s, Wilding, Doust and Dunlop, this advantage is not one to be disre- garded.

New York, June 20-With the Davis cup international tennis sched- ule completed both the National Asso- citation and the clubs allotted pre- liminary and challenge rounds are handling the matches and the thou sands of spectators expected to wit ness the play. If the English and Australasian teams reach the final round, as is generally predicted, there will be almost as much interest in the match between these two na- .tions, to be played at the Longwood Club on August 6, z and 8, as in the challenge round at Forest Hills( Long Island, the following week. With this in view the Boston Club is prepar-
 ing to seat ciose to six thousand spec tators and the West Side Club will all most double these figures for the se- ries between the United States team and the challengers which will decide thS lJlt NiHHtlS Ol tue IiOfny tlii- blematic of the worlds team tennis championship.
 Interest in the international play will not cease with the Davis cup matches, however, for the members of the Englishv Australasian and German teams, if the latter come to America at all will play in the national cham pionship tournament at Newport dur ing the week of August 24-29.

 That this will be the case is clearly indicated by the demand for reserva- tions even at this early date. Despite the fact that the seating capacity at the Newport courts will be greatly in-

of the strength or arrangement of these teams. D
 The American cup defenders will be called upon to face a heavier attack this summer than in any Davis cup match in years, and the expert tennis authorities are emphatic in their dec larations that at best the Ulited States team will not have better than an even chance of retaining the tro~ phy regained at Wimbledon last sum- mer. It is certain that Champion Maurice Mclaughlin will form the foundation of the team, but beyond that all is speculation. The Califor- mia delegation, including Mclaughlin, William Johnston, Clarence Griffin, Thomas Bundy, and possibly Ella Fot- trell and Roland Roberts, has been re- quested to come east early in July. Here they will be joined by Lindiey Murray and H. l.. Hahn, who have been playing brilliantly ia the east for
