the court and watched Miss Bjurstedt's
remarkable covering of court, her
slashing backhand drives for the cor
ners and her full volleying of McNeal's
hard hit drives were Of the opinion
that never before had the great Nor
wegian shown to better advantage.
This was only partly true. 1t is a
fact that Marvellous Molla moved
about the court with more dash and
speed and brought off her strokes with
greater snap than in many months
She showed the benefit of the long
rest she has enjoyed and was hitting
the ball harder, particularly on her
backhand, than at any time since her
first year of play in this country. But
the champion was not at her best in
other departments of the game.
For one thing, she was not bringing
off her forehand drive, her greatest
shot, with the certainty that is her
usual custom, and her service, never
severe, was even less so yesterday.
Shows Lack of Practice
When it is considered, however, that
Miss Bjurstedt has done little playing
since the end of the outdoor season
and is several weeks short Of her best
form, it is easy to believe that she will
WELD her old supreme sway on the
courts Of the East this year. Innumer-
able times yesterday she gave indica-
tions that she is capable of exceeding
any of her previous performances on
the courts since her triumphal entry
into the United States some four years
ago.
Alexander thrilled the gallery by his
volleying and his terrific forehand
drives. He covered wonderful
amount of ground in meeting the at
tack of the opposing pair, and some of
his shots for the side lines were so
skilfully placed as to make returns i'm
possible.
1t looked for time in the fourth set
as though the former Davis Cup star
had shot his bolt, for he seemed to lag
bit in the swift rallies. In the final
himself Quick as a cat to reach the
net after service, he bombarded the op-
posite court with spectacular smashes
of lobs and took the ball on the full Or
half volley with great skill.
Many times there were when the in
ternationalist earned the points by
using the trickiest of block volleys to
place the ball just over the net when
McNeal and Miss Wagner were far out
of position in back court.
Miss Wagner, as fine doubles player
as she is, was cleanly outplayed by
Miss Bjurstedt yesterday The indoor
champion was slow in getting about the
court, thus placing the burden Of cover
ing up the holes too much on McNeal's
shoulders. and except in the third and
fourth sets, when the service and play
at the net were going at their best, she
was the weakest player of the four and
is plainly short of practice.
Master of Half Volley
McNcal a great part of the time
played the most brilliant tennis of the
day. A master Of the half volley, he
used this shot often as he charged for
the net position 20 catch Alexander
and Miss Bjurstedt anchored on the
baselnc. His service was extremely
severe and we'll placed, and in the third
and fourth sets he rose to great
heights.
But there was too much for McNea]

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

THE RICE FLOUR SCARCITY.

The retail grocers say that rice flour
was produced in exceedingly limited
amounts before we entered the war and
the demand for il since has become tre-
men dous. The equipment for making
three mills IN ten can turn II out. That
| number is being rapidly increased and in
the meantime barley -four, which is white,
light and rs good a wheat -four substitute
rs we need, rs being made and sold in
enormous amounts.
There Is no question about the health
fulncss of barley flour. Do not physicians
ALWAYS prescribe il on every occaSlonp
Its prolonged and constant use cannot
cause any trouble to anyone's consti-
tuition and. mixed with twice its bulk of
wheat -four II produces a wholesome

Potato flour Is not TO bc bad vet IN the

KITS FRIGHT.

Kit Cat was a small kitten: that rs,
his mother thought Kit was small, but
Kit Cat thought he was a grown-up and
disdained all advice from his mother.
Kit : mother told hum not to run after the
birds, for she had been severely punished
when she was a little kitten for chasing
birds and knew it was wrong and wicked.
Kit. however, did not take warning and
every time ne could escape from his
mother watchful ewes he would run into
the garden. where the birds were hopping
about, and sometimes he caught one.
As no one had ever caught Kit with a
bird he had never been punished, SO he
thought his mother was fuSsy and SILLY.
and he grew to be very naughty kitten
about catching birds
One day kit Cat sat IN the garden
watching the birds from under n bush
when he happened to look up, and there
on top of a pole he saw n little house.
While he was wondering who could
hive in such little house aS that he saw u
bird fIv down to the door and hop in.
All thought Kit. that is the house
where the birds live I'll climb up there
when no ono is watching me and walk IN
and help myself How foolish have been
catching them when there Is their homc
right IN the garden.
That afternoon when his mother was
asleep IN the sun on tho back steps
klt ran INTO the garden There was no
one around. SO he ran TO the pole and
climbed up 1t was not easy. for the pole
was very smooth and poor Kit slipped and
fell down many times TUT finally he
reached the top and pulled himself mp to
the door of tho little house
KITS eyes we're big, ne was 81 cNci'cd
over the thought Of the feast he would
have, for Kit expected the house was filed
with blrdS and he knew they could not
escape. for he had looked 70 see if there
was another door
They cannot get ont Of the chimney,
thought Kit that IS not all Of them, and
| shall have five or SIN ANYWAY My.
what feast
This was what he was thinking when
he looked in the door. hut his thoughts
changed quicker than a wink the next
