The DOMINO DIMPLE
BY KEITH KENYON.

nclent IN most OUTDOOR Sports, lleIe
was more than mere pastime in golf
for her this year. For she had set
her heart on marrying Jack, and she
was keen enough to see that the girl
who got him would have to use driv-
ers, putters and cleeks as the keys to
his heart.
A match was pending, a tournament
for women, and Nettie felt that to
carry off the laurels on this occasion
would mean much in her campaign for
matrimOny.
With so much depending on the re-
suit Of Saturdays play, Nettie was
practicing. One morning, at eight, her
little road car turned in at the club
gate and in fifteen minutes she was
out on the course.
Crack! The first shot whizzed past
the marker and straight up the course
nearly two hundred yards. The caddy
ran on ahead and pulled out an iron
for the next shot.
Nettie took the iron. pat, who is
that person just starting down number
two? Is she playingT
A girl in a pink sunbOnnet and n
pink dress was plainly visible against
the green background of the trees. The
course doubled and one and two lay
side by side with only narrow strip
Of rough between. The other girl,
coming toward them, stopped and
made n play. The ball went high and

caddy.
He grinned. 81 should say she is.
Dandy shot, wasn't it?'
Nettle frowned. The shot had been
too good for comfort.
The girl stopped and watched the
play. Caddying for herself, she had
her bag slung over her shoulder Net
/ tie had had n good chance to see that
! she was pretty, very pretty, and that
/ the pink linen dress and pink linen
! hat, made sunbonnet style, were not
the mllkuaid get-up that she had at
/ first supposed.
Nettie seemed to have lost her power
of concentration, for the rest Of the
morning was bad. After playing IS
/ holes, she went home hot, tired and
in Il dangerous humor.
But the prospect Of dinner with a
party at Sycamore inn and a ride
home with Jack through the MOON
light gradually restored her spirits.
"Does anyone know who our new
acquisition is at the club?' she asked
in conversational pause at table. Ev-
eryone was interested, but nobody
knew.
Il believe you mean the girl met
on the course this afternoon" said
Jack.
Nettle was instantly alert "She
wasn't in pink, but she was a cracker
/ jack of a player and peach for
! looks" he added enthusiastically.
Nettie didn't sleep and was up early
practicing. An anxious week followed.
She watched the score board TO see IL
any new names had been turned i'm,
but neither that nor the list Of hanGi-
caps warned her of any formidable
antagonist to be dreaded on Saturday.
But at two o'clock on Saturday,
when the players began to arrive, a
new name had been placed on the
board.
Katharine Hilton
Eyebrows went up. No one knew
the Hiltons were home after five years
in England.
Nettie consulted the handicap list.
Her name was not there. "Shell get
the maximum, twenty-four, l suppose !"
"Nol Miss Hilton is playing scratch.
No handicapl" said Bert Morton, COM
ing up. "Oh, how do you do, Miss Hill
ton? I'll have to introduce you anew
to your old friends, see, since you've
grown up"
Nettie suddenly realized that Katha-
rine was the pink girl and moreover,
she was paired to play with her.
The scores were close-in fact, at
the eleventh hole the girls were even,
counting Nettie's handicap Of four.
Then they drove, Nettie first, then
Katharine. 1t was down a slope and
over the creek and both lost their
ballsl
eff I find mine" thought Nettie, tri-
umphantly, "and she doesn't, 1t will
mean an extra count for her, for she'll
have to take it over again"
Then Jack found a ball. "Here's
one" he cried, "beside these reeds, in
good shape for drive. Whose is It'll
It's a Dimple-four black dots"
"Mine!" cried both girls together.
"You must be mistaken" said Nettie
quickly. II was playing a new ball,
four black dots, and it went down here
just where Mr.. Price is standlng"
II was playing one, tool" said Kath-
arine simply. "And thought it came
just about herer'
II must win !" thought Nettie. SIN
sure it's my ball." she insisted.
Jack looked from one girl to the
other-the one that he had about de-
cided that he would ask to be his life
mate, the other whom he had seen
only few times, but who had stormed
his heart. A sudden notion possessed
him, for he was impulsive. 81 believe,
he said to himself deliberately, that
