These combined facts resulted in a sud.

well back over his shoulder and
without pause brings 1t down toward
the ball with a clean, even stroke.
He doesn't get the distance Abe

more accurate. And a shot that is
accurate is worth more on the score

His approach work oozes with
confidence. He lays the ball up to
the pin time after time from dis
tances Of 100 yards and more.
He buries the thumb of the left
hand beneath the fingers Of the right

ger of his left hand over the outside

In other words, he practically
locks the fingers Of his two hands.

BezCa7Ie The Woman
Who Would Destroy
Faith Of Others

Mary had believed in him. She
had had absolute faith IN him until
she met the middle-aged woman
who had been so nice to her.
The middle-aged woman had lent
her magazines to help pass the long
hours on the train and she had
wired ahead 20 some friends who
had an automobile and asked them
to meet Mary and be nice 20 her
during her stop-over. Unquestion-
ably she was woman Of standing.
1t was easy to see that.
During the last hour OF the ride
told the middle-aged woman about
him. And the middle-aged woman
smiled knowingly, even pityingly
and said something about "other
women" and mot believing too
much" that they were never what
they seemed"
The vague insinuations stuck in
Mary's consciousness. Her attitude
toward him changed. She began to
view him with a certain suspicion.

az II were. little barrier between
herself and the confidence which
could have meant complete happi-
ness.
She Didn't Know.
OF course she married him, be-
cause she really cared. And he
never did anything that Mary
couldn't feel was all right. But
Mary never quite could forget the
middle-aged woman and what she
said because she had been so really
charming and she seemed 10 know
so much Of the world.
And so there was always that
subtle something between Mary and
complete happiness, something half
fear and half-expectancy
And all because there was no one
to tell Mary the truth about the
middle-aged woman; no one 10 tell
her that the middle-aged woman
had failed mieerably and was too
dwarfed at heart TO want other
women to be happy. There was no
one 10 tell her that the little ironies
OF the middle-aged woman were
simply the froswy dissatisfactions of
an unpolsed soul; no one 20 tell her
that the middle-aged woman's phil
osophy was that of a stunted men
tally.
There was no one TO tell Mary
that the older woman, who would
destroy the faith OF the younger
woman simply because she IS not
able 10 surmount the wreckage Of
her own life, is the most despicable
OF all women.
