cs mbinaticn OF sneaker and ballet shoe.
but she balances on her heels only when
that position Is necessary TO give her a
strong stroke.
To keep her In form she exercises ten
minutes every night. II take dancing
exercises" said the young expert. ''They

the muscles OF the entire body"
IL was ten minutes to o'clock when
Milo. Lenglen disappeared into the club
house to change from her nnauve or
CANDY into her tennis dress. The spec
tators waited until nearly half past for
her to reappear. and as II In response

anxious men and women had started In
the grand stand the young woman
tripped out TO the courts smiling as she

fcssional photographers and half dozen
amateurs. some OF whom were little
girls
Over her tennis dress she wore a white
fur cape lined with cerise silk. This she
dropped on n chair by the scorers stand
