MANY women seem to me to eat
siI,v things which don't agree with
them. especially at dinners and things
given during the big tournaments.
Simple. nourishing food, avoiding
sweets. too much pastry, and so forth
is n sane diet and one ! try to follow.

In the actual match Miss Stirling
said she plays her ''own game entirely
not playing to the good or bad shots
of her opponent. She concentrates OF
each shot as it comes along. She for
gets good shot or bad one, in the
knowledge that the hole is never won ol
lost till the winning putt is dropped.
She believes somewhat in the theor.
of ]. Douglas Edgar, the pro at hel
club, that 'if you think you can
bring off certain shot, you can ant
will"
"He's an extremist, though th'
champion added. "but his theory ha
helped me greatly to concentrate"
