Depends on short Game.

All through her round Miss Hyde
strangely enough depended more upon
her short game than she did upon the
long driving for which she has become
famous Time after time her tee shots
took her of into the rough, sometimes
on one side Of the course and some
times on the other. ON the sixth hole
she threw away a stroke by driving out
Of bounds. Her short game. especially
her work with the mashie, was much
better than II has been I'm past tour
neys. II earned It's greatest reward

pther time this season and although the
New Yorker was right at the top OF his
game he was no match for the Califor-
MAN. The Comets service vas partic-
ularly effective and he scored a dozen
clean aces during the course OF the
match. His drive too had terrible power
behind them. and should he have his
strokes going the same way when he
meets Johnston. .he match would prove
a hummer. Mclaughlin Is picked gen.
orally to beat the yOungster. notwlth-
standing the latter's brilliant victory
yesterday because both he and Nc
Ioughlin play the same kind OF game,
n tho Comet seems to have more
power.
Peh started service. and although he
got away to a lead Of 4o-i5. won the
opening game only nrter II had been TO
deuce twice. Mclaughlin then took I'VE
straight games before he ased up long
enough TO drop one prior to finishing
the set. The second set saw the Comet
NJ his best. He allowed Peu to score
only ten points In the set and did not
let him get even close to n game. In
the third set the Californian did not
extend himself. hut managed TO keen
on even terms until the set was even al
Ave all. On the eleventh game, with
Pell serving, Mclaughlin broke through
and finished the match or his own serve.

Business Girls Club to
Hold a Christmas Sale

of West Philadelphia Is rapidly nearing
its first anniversary, and so enthus as

More than a year ago meeting was
held at the Philomusian Club to discuss
the welfare of the self-supportlhs slrI'
Prominent speakers were present ana the
members Of the club became so impressed
with the meeting that they decided TO
become doors and not hearers OF the
word"
Soon after it was decided TO start a
number of self-supporting girls in n
homemaking enterprise which would
make it possible for them to enjoy real
home; not an institutional boarding house
where, after having paid their board the
girls are subjected to such kindergarten
restrictions that no self-respecting, self
supporting girl will submit to them.
The Philomusian Club guaranteed the
rent of house for year and furnished

mother, was engaged, and in short time
10 girls were enjoying "A real home Those
who live there pay 81 week, which pro-
vides them not only with their rooms and
meals. but with their laundry. The privi-
lcge of inviting n guest to meals by pay
ment of % cents is also accorded.
Each room is furnished differently and
there Is no look whatever of an institu-
ton or even of boarding house. The
strong individuality of many of the in
mates Is seen the moment one enters the
rooms.
There is pleasant reception room
where the girls receive freely their friends
of both sexes.

so small sum. But the girls are not
satisfied, and though they have n great
love for the older club which has made
this home life possible to them and all
feel that the president, Mrs. B. +. Rich
ardson. is the personal friend of each
one, they wish to make the club entirely
self-supporting.
For that reason they are holding n
sale which represents many a long eve
ning's work after hard day at the office,

will avail themselves of this opportunity
to purchase Christmas gifts for their
friends and will come and see the house,

ITO RAISE motherhood TO the status or
i profession Is the ambitious dream Of
Julia Lathrop head of the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau at Washington. Through
two channels Miss Lathrop expects her
dream to be realized: By the creation
of graduate schools for training women
in original research into matters relating
to the life and interests OF the family
and by studies by the Census Depart
ment into statistics of the family.
Motherhood says Miss Lathrop,
'the most universal and essential of en-
pigments, remains the most neglected by
science. a neglect long hidden behind
tradition and sentimentality." Little Is
known of infant mortality, OF the de-
velopment OF chldren's minds and bodies
that might help in determining methods
of lessening this mortality and educatir3
children to their greatest usefulness.
We do not know how many children are
born in the United States. because only
a few States return statistics of births.
We do not know how great is the in
dustral employment of married women,
nor it's effect upon the children and fam
ily life. Worst ignorance of all, we do
not know what is the decent support of
n family or how much 1t costs to keep
children alive. or how to insure mothers
and babies against death by starvation.
in fact, all we do know Is that children
are born and their mothers II they re-
main at home and devote themselves to
their families. are recorded in the census
as y. G. This does not exactly mean no
good 1t means nonGainful. which is
almost as inaccurate a description. In
other words, instead of being a profess
sion motherhood is a badly sweated
trade.
II Miss Lathrop's plan of departments
of research into maternity and family
life and child bearing is realized we shall
no doubt quickly follow the example set
by England, Germany and the Scandna-
Wan countries and establish State ma
ternity insurance. The basis of this is
sickness insurance. The mother Is paid
sum which enables her to rest for
short period before childbirth and covers
the expenses of her confinement. Con-
servative people argue against this
scheme as socIalistic. They say that

Peasant Costumes

The Dutch type Is n favorlte in
the peasant adaptations, for the
costume OF Holland has n particu-
larly picturesque quality. An aft
ernoon frock which shows Dutch
suggestion Is built of navy blue
faille classlque, a lustrous ribbed
silk of soft but substantial quality.
The gathered skirt, short enough
to display a dainty buttoned dane
ing boot. has trimming bands OF
navy blue velvet, each edged mar
rowly with skunk fur. There are
two bodices-for every Holland
woman wears bodice upon bodice.
which has much to do with the
clumsincss of the Dutch figure.
This little frock, however, with one
bodice OF blue indestructible voile
and the other of silver embroidered
faille classique, is anything but
clumsy.

Nothing is more tragic than the wom-

DO | look very old? Would you think
I was older than she is? Is my hair

keeps anNiously asking.
And there is nothing more absurd than

prefaces her remarks with such phrases
as "Of course, for a girl like me,

Mt the time! oh! I couldn't wear n gown
