i IFFL LIE

Today, ladies and gentle
men, we're going to break
a confidence. For the bene-
fit of those unfortunates
who have never been initial
ed into the mysteries of
golf, we're going to tell a
secret. It's about the 18th
hole.
First of all, there amt no
such thing. Now we have
you wondering more than
ever what kind of a nut
game golf might be. Be-
cause all your life you've
been reading in the sport
pages about the 18th hole,
and imagined that 1t was
something similar to a home
run, or a goal kick, or a
game-set in tennis.
There is only IS holes in
golf, patient sufferer. When
you've played Is holes,
you're through. Unless, of
course. you're playing SO
holes, or As holes, or "a
holes. Which, of course, is
different again.
But when you've played
an 1S-holes game you are
not through. Oh. no! You,
always get in the shade of
a tree, OF crawl into a cady
house, or stand around
somewheres, and explain
why you played such a rot
ten game. Your identity
Immediately changes, and
you become Alibi Ike. Every
golf player is an Alibi Ike
every time he plays. Un-
less he's a dumb man, and
no dumb man could ever
get any satisfaction out of
golf, anyway.
Well, the place where you
happen to stop and offer up
your time-worn and oft-re-
peated alibis, is the 10th
hole. See? II Is and it
isn't. Everybody plays it,
yet there isn't a line in the
official rules that says any
thing about 1t.
In this respect Il Is some
thing like that mythical Hot

about the inside of the border. A
small bow of the ribbon. which rib
bon should be about an inch in
width is placed in the end of the
cushion.
"Bordered handkerchiefs make
nice oversleeves for either the bust
ness girl or the little school girl.
One handkerchief will make two
sleeves. The raw edges which is
hemmed neatly. is used 70 go about
the wrist.
The half of the handkerchief is
then folded in two, so that the
hemmed edge is at the bottom. A
seam is run up the handkerchief
so that the sleeve is the right side
for the arm. This leaves a ornamen-
tai point at the top which can be
worn under the arm for further pro-
lection to the dress or left in the
