TOKENS OF HIGH CHARACTER
Good Manners Recommend, Prepare

Fortune Of Ambitious Youth.

We are told much of utilities, but
It's our manners that associate us. In
hours of business we go to him who
knows, or has, or does this or that
which we want, and we do not let our
taste or feeling stand in the way. But.
this activity over, we return to the
indolent state, and wish for those we
can be at ease with; those who will
go where we go, whose manners do
not offend us. whose social tone chimes
ours. When we reflect upon their per-
suasive and cheerful force; how they
recommend, prepare and draw people
together how, in all clubs, manners
make the members; how manners
make the fortune of the ambitious
youth; that, for the most part, he
marries manners; when we think what
keys they are, and to what secrets:
what high lessons and inspiring tokens
of character they convey, and what

the subject has, and what relations to

Last year when everybody called

and glad carols rang out the joyous

from the front windows of their home,
while Lady Fair was crying out her

PROPER GOLF CLUBS TO USE
Player Who Is Inclined to Slice Should
Select Club With Medium Lie
Don't Go to Extremes.

The player who is inclined to slice
should not play with an upright club;
he should choose one with a medium
or even fiat lie. and he should also
see that there is not too much heel
on the face of the club. In fact, he
would be we'll advised to have as
much as possible taken off.
The reverse applies to a player who
hooks; he should not play with fiat
lying club or club with the least
bit of hook on the face; he should
choose a medium or upright lie and
should have the face of the club al
most parallel with the shaft. Very
frequently club with little more
spring in the shaft than usual will
greatly assist player who is troubled
lengths and weights of clubs, as long
as the player does not go to extremes,
say, for instance, he does not use any
wooden clubs longer than Al inches
or shorter than AZ inches, between

matter of fancy and experience. AL.
most any kind of player could adapt
himself to these styles Of clubs. A
fairly accurate guide is the weight and
strength of the player. A strong
heavy man can, of course, use pow
