BORROWING JEWELRY.

You may think girls don't crave bor-
rowed finery. OH but they do. The
rings of her friends always look pref
tier to her then her own do. Crave
them? OF course she does. Youths
and maidens seem to have penchant
for wearing each others rings awhile.
1t seems innocent enough, yet much
mischief may result from it. A youth
wearing his mothers or sisters ring
may loan it to a girl for while,
though she may have none to loan him
in exchange. If she becomes intense
ly enamored with it, it often seems an
act of cruelty to insist upon her re-
turning it this year, next year, perhaps
never. Then, again, there is such a
possibility as losing ring which is val
ued by young man as a keepsake.
It's loss cannot be replaced.
Hard feelings spring up which can
not be outlived in lifetime. This, al
so holds good among girl friends.
When they loan each other their val
ued trinketS it should always be with
the understanding that If damage or
loss is the result no blame will be at
tached. All girls are not careful of
their own jewelry. How can they ex-
pect to be with the belongings of an
other? One girl may be more than
careful of her pretty jeweled ring,
treating it with the utmost loving care.
The friend she loans it to would think
nothing of plunging her hand with it
on In a cold cream jar or trying to cut
an initial in window pane to see if
the stone is a real diamond or thought
lessly pull it off with her glove. The
bracelet watch which some girls are
eager to borrow from friends who are
lucky enough to have them, usually
comes in for its share of mishaps. The
clasp may become loose, the watch fall
to the floor and away goes .the main
spring.
Girls do not mean to be careless with
the belongings of another, but usual
ly some unexpected mishap befalls the
borrowed article. This causes a rift
in friendships lutte.
Parents of girls should impress upon
them that they should be too proud to
borrow jewelry, even though they have
none of their own. and too wise to lend
it. It's foolish custom at the best.
The girl who is jewelry borrower is
ofttimeS the terror of her friends. Her
visits keep them in constant fear.
They are reticent about DOMINIC their
pretty things when she is around. She
may not know it, but her companions
are 10th to invite her to affairs. II

TASK LONGER TENNIS SEASON.
Only TrifIe over Three Months of Conn
petition Out of Doors-Players
Want More Time.

Lawn tennis has gradually attracted
such an army of devotees that there
has followed the real desires on the
part of the players to prolong the seal
son out Of doors.
So far as the records Of several
years show for anything, there is at
best only a trifie II ore than three
months of competition on turf and clay
surfaces before the changeable wealth
err causes the wielders of the racquet
to seek the enjoyment of the indoor
game on the board courts of the arm
cries. This Immediately limits the
amount of playing time and the num-
Der Of players. 1t has not been the
most satisfactory arrangement for
those ardently devoted to the sport, so
that gradually there has been some ex-
perimenting as to ways and means by
which the outdoor season might be
heightened so as to offer fair sport for
the followers of the courts.
It has been realized for some time
that earth courts, even when in perfect
condition, do not solve the problem.
The frost and the rains Of the autumn
soon cause the clay surfaces to be I'M
satisfactory. What the frost and rain
leave undone the brisk autumnal
breezes accomplish, especially when
the playing surfaces have been liber-
ally sanded. The result has been to
turn the attention Of some of the play
ers to court playing surfaces Of boards
and of concrete.

MAN WHO is TOO SWEET.

A soft-sDoken, CverpOlite man Is
sure to appeal to the general run or
women. There is fiattery in his gaze.
He has a way of clasping a womans
hand. lingeringly that stirs the Dlood
i'm her veins and brings the color to
her cheeks, giving her tactitly TO I'M
derstand that she possesses more in
terest for him than any other woman
in the world. Every sentence ne WINS
pers in her ear contains covert mean
ings. For a time this pleases woman
kind. Gradually, however, it becomes
an old story. Instead of continuing TO
admire the overpOlite man she becomes
conscious after while that he is ac-
tually silly. He lacks the manllness
of other men. In fact, she concludes
that he's altogether too sweet to be
wholesome.
Even the most polite men never
carry politeness to the point OF max
ing themselves ludicrOus. A young
woman told me this story OF the Incl
dent which helped her to choose nus
band from between two ardent lovers.
each of whom would not take no for
an answer. She had been entertain
ing both in the parlOr one winter eve
ming. One was a sweet, suave young
man, who never forgot the habit or
smiling. The other was plain young
business man, with no frillS about him.
At q lull in the conversation she was
heartily glad to hear her little broth
ers voice pipe out in the hall, open
the door, Nell, want to come in."
Both men sprang to their feet. The
overgracious lover stepped to her side,:
murmuring softly, 'May / not have the
pleasure of performing the service OF
opening the door for this tiny, lily
white hand?" In the meantime, the
other young man had strobe to the
door, flying it open, and caught the
youngster in his arms, hOisting him to
his shoulder, bearing him triumphantly
to his sister and depOsiting him in her
lap. The difference between the two
men struck her fOrcibly. She mar
ried the man who jumped to accom-
plish things without ado.
GraciOusness and sweet words are
all very well in courtship's beginning.
But they have fashion of wearing
away like goldplate, usually disclos-
ing brass beneath the polish. The
overpOlite lover seldom makes the
kindest or most considerable husband.
The bluff, OutspOken man is more
often than not a diamond in the
rough. He doesn't make so much pre-
tentions as to the tenderness of his
love. He believes woman should
take that for granted. With him, it is
his deeds that count, not soft prom
Uses. The sOft-spoken genius does not
take very well or get far with men.
He is of the Glass that makes dupes of
women. The man who is natural is
genuine to his hearts core. He who
is unnatural comes down to his regu-
lar gait all in good time.

HOW POET QUOTED HORSE
Something More Than Modicum

understood.

Tennyson once arrived at Haslemore
station carrying a heavy parcel Of
books; and as his own carriage had
not arrived to meet him, he was glad
to accept the offer of a lift home.
Going up the steep hills to Black
down, TennysOn, with his characteristic
ic consideration for animals, suggested
that they and the books were too
heavy for the pony to drag.
The two men therefore got out and
walked for some distance in front eff
the trap, until they discovered that
the books had dropped out.
The owner of the pony asked Tenny1
son to stand at the animals head
while he went back for the books,
These he found hundred yards or
more down the hill, and on his return
he found the pony had been restives
but had quickly become quiet.
Knowing that 1t disliked strangers,
he wondered how Tennyson had kept
it quiet. What was his surprise to
learn that the poet had managed the
affair by holding a watch close to the
animals ear.-London Times.

His prediction is based on the vastly
improved form of American players
which, to Ward, was the feature of the
1916 golf season. If this improve
ment in playing form continues, says
the veteran, American golfers as a
class should at least be the equal, If
not the superiors, of the English and
Scotch players.
"What surprised me most" said
Ward, twas the improved playing style
Of the majority of golfers. 1t was only
a short time ago that about one golfer
in ten played in correct form. This
season I would say that seven out OF
ten knew the proper way to play their
clubs. Those showing the best form
were the young fellows.
"This means that most of the pres
ent stars who helped to make the sport
so popular will be compelled to stand
aside. With the proper instruction OF
our young players should say that
within ten years our golfers will be
the best in the world"

Elizabeth Farley gave defiant look
at the young man, whose pleading,
honest eyes sought to have convinced
her of the reason and sincerity of his
argument.
''Dear, it's not meant to be nag

you from trouble and unhappiness.

it-but I mean right"
"But you can't understand" she
cried. "Tm determined to make some

having talent if you don't use it.
You said yourself could act"
"Yes, 1 did. I think you were some

''Well, 1 guess Elsie Burns knows

''Well, what have you to say about
him." she retOrted.
II don't like the look in his eyes,"
That's lots isn't it," And the girl
turned angrily from him, and walked
away.
Earle Terry looked after her, stand
ing still in his perplexity. His face
was white and set with the agony
Juggling at his heart. For a year he
had loved Elizabeth with all the in
tensity of deep, earnest nature. Six
months they had been engaged, and
now this cloud threatened to burst in
to a storm wrecking his hope of hap
piness.
Elizabeth was only a trifle over
eighteen, but her parents being in mod
crate circumstances, she had felt on
leaving school, she must do something
to earn her living. But an indulgent
father and mother. had wished her to
first enjoy her release from studies,
and when Earle Terry, teller in the
one bank of the little town, began to
pay her marked attentions, his suit
was regarded with favor by Elizabeth's
father, who knew the steady, indus
trious character of the young man.
The charity benefit brought Eliza
beth out in new light. She did fair
ly well in her small role, and in
tudicious friends exaggerated her sue
cess. Her mind was made up to go
on the stage, and the mild opposition
of her parents was soon overcome.
Fernleigh had one theater, and was
a town of One-night stands. Soon af-
ter the benefit, as Elizabeth was walk
ing down the main street with her
chum, Elsie Burns, the latter suddenly
halted before a well-groOmed man of
about thirty.
Basil Winterr' she exclaimed. And
the two were soon In an animated con-
verSatiOn.
'Why you were Just a kiddie when
left town. How did you know me?'
he asked.
80 your picture is out in front of
the theater-and you haven't changed
so much"
"Come and see me tonight. Bring
your mother, and" looking at Eliza
beth, your friend"
He hastily wrote out three passes
to the play, and invited the two girls
into nearby restaurant for ice
cream His dashing manner, and
bright, interesting talk took Elizabeth
by storm. She had never in her life
met such a man. She was fascinated,
and went home with her head in a
whirl. He had asked them TO be sure
TO wait for him, after the performance
ut the stage door, and Elizabeth in a
fever of excitement dressed in the
best of her limited wardrobe. and
scarcely finished her dinner in her
haste to go.
Basil Winter, in the role of the ~
happy, but noble, self-sacrificins hero,
looked much handsomer than on the
street. He was really a good actor,
and the conquest of Elizabeth's poor
little heart was complete. After the

Jack Graney when he came to

Coleman, the latter batting for
Coumbe, had both struck out,
each taken a healthy but fruit

Graney alone remained between
Bush and fame.
