] grasp the ball with my right
hand just ahead of center, with
the laces in my palm. The left
hand holds the ball in position,
and is placed back of the right
hand. Some players do not use
the left hand at all.
When the ball Is held this way
II is not necessary to give II any
special twist to make II twirl. II
will spin Of its own accord as 1t
leaves your hands.
In order that you will not be
easily toppled over when you
are making your pass, stand
with your legs spread far apart
and one foot a little ahead Of
the other. Throw your weight
forward. In this position you
are well braced and not easily
upset.

CHAPTER L.
Three wishez.


Three wishes. -
On the day Diana Langley was
born, II is said that her mother
looked down wanly at the little
pink atom imbedded in a nest Of
lacy friIls and said with all the
wistfulness Of a nondescript wife
of one of the handsome Langleys:
Il hope she'll have Beauty; it's
the only weapon a girl child has.
stuart Lar .sley, picking up the
mite of a hand of his first born,
remarked eompIacently that she
took after him in one respect any
way. whereupon he fitted the we'll
manicured fingers of his really ex-
trsordinary hands together and said
with a sigh:
well. better luck next time! She
might have been twins. which is
worse than her not being a son!
] only hope she'll have brains and
be a source Of pride to the family"
which was a tacit rebuke to Mrs.
Langley. who was acknowledged to
have none.
With these two wishes bestowed
upon her small head, the lace-frilled
dressing room where Marjorie Lang
ley-stuart's sister-waited. Look
ing down at the rosy little face on
the pillow. Marjorie said softly:
Fairy godmother. give her Lure
and she won't need the rest"
Marjorie swore afterward that
the baby opened her eyes for the
first time and was caught gazing
hxedly at a picture of Mona Lisa"
on the wall above Mrs. Langley's
dressing table.
Diana didn't quite fulfill her
mothers earnest expectations; at
least. her beauty was not Of the
statuesque type belonging to the
Lansleys. II she could be called
beautiful at all, 1t was because
there was a piquant. elusive quail
ity about her that fascinated by its
very, evasiveness
One Wish UnfuInIIed.
And as for Stuart Langley's wish
one of Diana's earliest recoIIec-
tons of her father was seeing him
storm up and down the floor Of his
study running Departing hands
through his magnificent hair when
she couldn't understand why the cir
cumference of a circle is three and
one-half times pi, enchanting:
My God, why was I ever given
such a damn fool for a daughter
So 1t must have been Marjorie
Langley's wish that made Diana a
success with men.
For a success she instantly was
from the day she first discovered
that her skirts were too short for
rapidly elongating legs and that the
boy across the school aisle had
eyes that made Gold chiIIs run up
and down her back when he looked
1T her.
Fhat, OF course. was before she
was really grown up. Later-and
~ the time when Diana's ''vampinR''
procIivities were fully developed
" seemed almost impossible for her
