Mrs. Lannard regarded him for moment Il
had Just struck her disconcertngly that there was
the faintest CLEAN of amusement in his eyes.
He continued pleasantly: as it my personality
my poverty, or my pedigree?
There, was now no doubt that his eyes were
twinkling. 1t annoyed her intensely Stung to
sudden fury, she lost her studied poise.
"Mr. Bacon, cannot proong this futile discus
sion! can only say you are quite impossible!
trust that is frank enough for you to comprehend
Then, as if to reinforce her statement she added:
Il am speaking the sentiments of my daughter
say that your pretentons to enter the Lannard fam
lily have been regarded as absurd"
Bacon bowed The discussion had taken ex-
actly the line he foresaw. He had realized per
ectly the worldlness of Mrs Lannard and the value
she placed upon high sounding marriage for her
daughter.
What he did not know was that Mrs Iannard
was not speaking the exact truth when she quoted
the sentiments of her daughter. Muricl knew moth
ing OF this visit At the moment she was out mo.
toring with a nobeman from Slavic republic who
had come to this country to recoup the fortune he
had lost at Monte Carlo in the good old days OF
the Gar.
Bacon left the Iannard house feeling that dis
agreeable but necessary job had been disposed Of
He would leave Muriel to her nobleman, this Cir
who inspired in him waves of alternating hate and
love. He was. tired of being looked down upon
Some time it might prove interest to investigate
the roots of the Lannard family tree to see where
they got that naughty stuff"
That night he wrote note to Muriel.
You have often refused me, but l was hoping
to go on giving you opportunities to reverse your
decision, just for variety. However, your mother
in quoting your feelings this afternoon showed me
how utterly futile it will be for me to infict myself
by little act of appreciation for the splendid work
you doing in connection with your pet charity
the Day Nursery? Won't you please give the en-
closed check to the Nursery-with the one condition
that you do not reveal the name of the donor"
He inclosed his check for $4,000.

want to begin this lesson by
going back to, a remark l have al
ready made: Think of the right
thing at the right time.
And hen you come to play a
shot that seems to be just little
longer than your jigger or your
midiron can handle, the first
thought here is what club you shall
take from the bag to get home
without forcing the stroke.
l want to say here that for the
average player I never advocate
using a cleek, which is useful at
times but one of the hardest clubs
in the bag to play, due in the main
to its narrow blade and lack OF
loft.
AS a general proposition I would
suggest that you take out, your
spoon. as II is one of the easiest.
simplest clubs in the bag for all
types of golfers, for the star and
duffer alike.
The spoon especially should be
used il there is any carry to make
or II the ground is soft.
The driving iron might be better
where you have an open approach.
the ground is hard and you are
playing against the wind.
The spoon.
The spoon is a great club to use.
even when you might get home
with a midiron, and for these rea-
sons:
You know you can get there cas-
lily with a spoon, 50 you don't try
to kill the ball for distance.
You know there is loft to the
club, so you don't try to lift the
ball up.
The spoon, therefore. becomes a
simple, natural stroke where the
club takes care of itself.
II you have a full iron shot I am
a great believer in taking a slight
ly lower grip on the spoon and then
hitting with a natural effort, rather
than pressing with the other club.
Hilton has shown what winning eff
fects one can get with a spoon,
where many golfers would use only
jigger, at distance of $50 or 160
yards.
are all fine spoon players and they
all use this club at every chance.
noticed at Inverness that Ray
was using a spoon at the eighth
hole, where -Vardon was using an
iron, and Ray picked up at least
three strokes, enough to beat
Warden for the title.
Playing the Spoon.
In playing the spoon you must
stand a little closer to the ball, as
it has a shorter shaft than the
driver or brassie.
You must take a longer stroke
than you use for the iron, with
greater freedom of the wrists.
The elbows are in close, but not
so compact as for the iron. The
right elbow should never get away
from the body and the left elbow
must be held straight on the back
swing.
The heel barely comes of tho

are long enough. take your brassie.
Continued Next Monday

are long enough. take your brassie.
Here Is another tip: Suppose you
come to a second shot where you
can't get home with a brassie.
In that case always use your
spoon as the safer club. II you are
not going to reach the green, any
how, 1t is better to take a chance
on a little longer third shot than
to risk a brassie. which is much
harder to play. You can get the
spoon shot up easier from a closer
lie and control its direction better
from a good one.
If It so happens you are playing
against the wind and there are no
bunkers to carry, 1 would use a
driving iron in place Of a spoon.
The spoon is also a fine club to
use on one-shot holes, where tn.
green is soft, as they so frequently
are. Here. from 100 to $50 or 100
yards. you can hit the ball up into
the air. knowing that 1t will have
little run at the finish. II the
distance is only around $50 or 10
yards You can grip lower down on
the leather and still take a good.
natural rap at the ball without at
tempting to check the swing. 1t is
as much a mistake to spare the shot
and hit too easy as II is to over
swing and press. What we are
after is natural, normal SWING
that can go on through without be-
ing hurried or checked. And good
golfers are coming more and more
to the use OF the spoon for carrying
purposes, where the distance lies
between a midiron and a brassie.
If you have a shot against the
wind that isn't quite a full driv-
ing shot, but that would mean
pressing a lighter iron, take a lower
grip on the leather again and use
the driving iron.
Remember, again, to hit down at
the ball and not to lift the ~
head with the wrists. Remember
also. to think of the back swing
first. and on the down swing to let
the club head start in az even

In playing the spoon you hit down

Don't put your body into this

The Longer Iron.
The driving iron or cleek is
played more like the wood than
any other iron club, except that you
stand just a little closer to the ball.
You have the same foot action,
the same pivoting. Take only a

the right foot until the ball is
struck.
Remember again. on both spoon

That on the forward swing the
