A man sitting at a table at the
Chamber of Commerce at luncheon
the other day was holding his hands
about two feet apart in explaining
something to an acquaintance.
"A fish story" commented a person
at an adjoining table.
You're mistaken" he was in
formed. Hes just telling how he
missed putt for 3d.
President Harding has given out a
statement to the effect that he will
not play Sunday golf while in the
White House.
This brings up the question of con-
siderable religious antagonism against
the game due to it's Sunday popularity
Golf is an ideal Sunday outing. 1t
requires no morning hours of cooking
and fussing for picnic lunches. 1t re-
quires no tuning of motors or chang
ing of tires. 1t Is healthful, restful
relaxation from a week of business
worries. In no way does it interfere
with religious pursuits. religious influ-
ences or religious morals and ideals
1t is game without noise, without
confusion, without crowds or gam
bling and is played by true sportsmen
lawabiding citizens and men of high
character and reputation.
The two big golf days of the last
week-Saturday and Sunday - gave
Topeka golfers a new thrill. The

A player at the Country club has a
new system of keeping the score. He
starts out with his right Knockers
pocket full of pennies. Every time he
takes a stroke he removes q penny
from his right pocket and places it
in his left. He usually takes fifty
pennies with him for a round. He in
forms his caddy of his stunt and the
caddy gets every penny left in his
right pocket after the first nine holes.

PARIS WEARS SHORT SLEEVES
Arm Covering So Abbreviated That
Bracelet Is Worn Above the Elbow
by Young Girls.

Over In Paris they are still wearing
shOrt-sleeved dresses and so short
that the above-the-elb0w bracelet is
used with such dresses, especially by
the very young girls whose arms are
as slender above the elbow as below.
The French study the psychology to
II much greater extent than we when
considering a style. For instance, one
authority says that no woman should
wear long sleeves whose head is not
perfectly well dressed. With her hair
properly marcelled and with perfect
boots a woman may wear long sleeves
with great advantage. And come TO
think Of it. can you not picture the
woman with beautifully dressed hair
as a very dainty lady indeed in a
gown with long plain sleeves? If she
has good complexion, says the
French critic. let the gown be black.
but with a bad complexion avoid black.
In these days of made-up compilations,
however, almost anyone may have a
good one. A bracelet made Of band
of pearls is worn outside the long
sleeve, just above the wrist. or the
watch on black band Of ribbon is
used instead, outside and not inside
the sleeve.
