The Diary of Our Own Samuel Pepys

The Diary OF Our Own Samuel Pepys
June 26-Up by times, and with L.
Rehm and Janet to Rye in my petrol
Wagon, and we had luncheon there
of ham and eggs, and bad coffee, but
costly, and much lying about the time
it would take to prepare it, and so by
ferry to Oyster Bay, and to the courts
at Glen Cove, where M. Kirkland
trounccd me sadly. So to Mistress
Winifred Clarke's at Oyster Bay,
where for dinner, of founder, a taste
less fish, and chicken, and the finest
cherry tart ever l had.
27-Played at tennis with T. Clarke
and R. Ives, and beat them both, but
they are not good players. But Martha
| Clarke, who is but II, had me for a
game at croquet and beat me, tried |
never SO hard to win. After dinner
with R. Ives to Sands Point, to Mis-
tress Sally Farnham's, and Mistress
Neysa there, too, and some talk of
this and that, and to bed.
28-Early up, and to the city in my
petrol-waggon, and to my house, where
l found two letters from my wife, eho
seemeth we'll and in merry enough
spirits, albeit missing me sorely, which
l believe readily. At my Office all
afternoon and reading about tha con-
vcntion at San Francisco, but without
much interest.

Illustrations Artless Aid
Sir For tennis story in July Every
bodys Mr.. H. Weston Taylor has drawn
man doing twist service. The caption
reads, "Instinctiveiy his racquet flew up tx
protect his face" Reference to the tex
shows that he was coming up to the ne
and blocking his opponents smash My frs
feeling one OF sympathy for Mr. Taylor
the victim of fool caption. But lool
again. There is the gallery directly benin,
he base line protected by no back net anc
boarding only high the lincman'
: chair back. How artlessly do editors an
artists aid each other!
q One of Clarence Underwood's beauties
in the Satevepost lately brought off
2 screaming brassie while her opponent stood
eighteen inches from her right foot, lighting
his pipe. Should not these magazines en-,
ploy sport editors to avert bloodshed?
