little more practice. You NAV take
this on the authority of Andrew
kirkaldy, as fine professional at
ever drew breath on the heathered
links Of St Andrews.
krkaldy acted as mentor for the
Prince OF Wales when he played
himself in recently as captain of ST.
Andrews. II took considerable in
ducement to set Kirkaldy TO discuss
the prOwess of his royal pupil. but
he finally cut loose
Man, he's a fine homely sort and
given some practice will make a
grand golfer" Kirkaldy said.
"When he sent for me on the
morning he played himself in as
captain of the Royal and Ancient
asked him what bail he would like
to play with. He asked me what
sort used. and then said: II it's
good enough for you it will do for
me-
Then we came down to the tee.
The Prince says: This is an awful
job so | told him to just keep his
eye on the ball.
81 was a bit disappointed when I
saw him top it in front of yon
crowd; but he did not miss it.
IT'S maybe not right to repeat
what he said. but the young man
was somewhat nervous. He seemed
TO see the Joke after he had duffed
the bail, and said to him: Never
mind. Your highness, ye've hit it,
He's a sport to the core, a right
likable chap, and he's going TO be

Ambassador Harvey has at last
achieved success. once again he
and Lady Nicotine are on speaking
terms. The ambassador likes TO
smoke a pipe, and when he first
came to England he found that
English tobdccos did not suit his
taste and high duties made the
smoking of American tobaccos AL
most prohibitive. The ambassador
consulted a firm of tobacconists in
London. For more than a year the
blenders of this firm attempted to
find o. mixture which would not
burn the ambassadorial tongue or
dry the throat. Now after more
than a wear Of experiment the per-
feet tobacco has been found to suit
the taste OF the American ambassa-
dor, and when he plays golf he
puffs as good pipe as any OF his
English opponents.
London has too many women.
Mere man doesn't count here If the
latest census figures can be taken
az an indication. There are now l.
l65 females for every 1000 males in
London. and the total excess Of
females over males is 34l 1855. In
the last 10 years. due to the war,
the number OF widows in London
has increased by more than 10 per
cent. The census figures also show
that London women aren't as sue
CeSsful in matrimuny as they were
in the pre-war days, The number
of married women between the ages
of 20 and 40 has decreased by nearly
so per cent since 1911. The war
