pating that it will be some time
before we can enjoy these.
You see, in making a golf
course, there must be very firm
sod, and this actually has to be con-
structed. The putting greens must
be leveled and actual expert work
put upon the foundations of them.
It's like ball diamond. Good
links require work."
Mrs. Thach said the field at Fort
Worth, upon which the interstate
women will play, is very fine
course, although not so good as the
links at San Antonio, said to be the
best in Texas.
Last season, before the tourna-
ment here, Mrs. Thach was instru-
mental in getting more individual
clubs to join the Southern associa-
ton than never, had belonged in its
previous history. And because of
that, the largest representative
body attended the meet. This year,
Fort Worth is following the same
tactics, and it is possible. therefore,
that the attendance will be still
higher, which will make the con-
clave that much more interesting.
Different Beings
One of the cutest things of the
meet last year was the discussion
it brought ION about golf toys. 1t
made me actually realize what a
dull old spot this earth would be if
there weren't some persons differ
ent from others. There didn't seem
to be any getting together about
what was proper to wear for golf
SO far as having the players in gem
eral affect those garments. At least
half the folk present wore what
they darned pleased; and this gave
the other golfers a fine chance to
discuss their taste-or lack of it.
enjoyed myself immensely,
therefore, and have to admit that
when ! had heard all the pros and
cons of what was proper to affect.
down to the last infinite detail of
shoestring texture, that personally
| loved to gaze at the players who
looked pretty to the eye rather than
at the ones who had purchased ev-
erything exactly in order, right to
a gnat's hair.
That Uneasy Feeling
For there's something about
being dressed just to nicely that
makes me feel the need of spirits
of ammonia. l get nervous.
Pm so afraid that something will
bust loose-or the player fall over
the pump handle, or something
that | get fussy and sorter talk
diseonneetedly while Pm seeking a
graceful opportunity to murmur:
well, I'll be seeing you;" and
meander off to get into the crowds
that are following some young girl,
mostly in white and with bobbed
hair, or some matron with no coat
whatever but with abundant life
and enthusiasm-radiating joy,
heartscme life and fun.
They may be talked about from
fashion plate standpoint-but as
long as it's only because they hap
pen to have a hustling circulation
ana determination to wear what
they pretty please, I've noticed
they usually enjoy plenty of popu-
larity and carry no millstones on
the mind because they are not per-

CALLS FOR CAREFUL WORK
Miners" Who Dig for Specimens Of
Extinct Animals for Museums
Must Be Experts.

Few persons contemplating the re-
markable specimens Of extinct animals
to be seen In some museums realize
the amount of work which has been
entailed in the uncovering and prepa-
ration Of these specimens. In the first
place. well-equipped expedition Is
generally sent out to look for these
bones, and many miles are sometimes
covered I'm the search Of likely spot
for operations. Even then tons of sand
are carefully moved often without I'M
covering the bones that are being
sought
The removal Of tho soil can be done
only by those who are familiar with
the work, for an inexperienced hand
could readily do much damage by not
knowing how to proceed. When a
bone has been located 1t is uncovered
slowly by the aid Of small brushes and
delicate implements The bones when
found are exceedingly brittle and must
be handled with the greatest Of care,
When they are finally brought to light
they are given coat Of shellac and
then placed in bath Of -four paste.
They are then carefully wrapped In
strips of fabric and put In boxes. When
the latter are placed in crates for ship
ment the smaller boxes are surrounded
with cotton and other material to pre-
vent any possibility Of damage being
done to the specimens.

Of Beauty
By Gordon Cooby
By Gordon Coobtr

While walking in New Hope re-
Gently, Mrs. Cooper and / noticed a
quaint old sign at the corner of Ferry
street and Stockton avenue which
read, aye English Shoppe." The
sign was new to US, or else we over
looked it before. "Perhaps it's a
food shop" said Mrs. Cooper. And
we had visions of dainty little cakes,
luscious pies and crisp doughnuts.
But when we had sounded the old
brass knocker on the door it was
opened to reveal, not doughnuts, not
cakes and pies, but remarkable ar
ray of art objects whose beauty was
revelation. There were distinctive
wooden toyA, brightly painted and
altogether novel; there were paint
ings that told of more than passing
talent; there were vases, candlesticks
and boxes overlaid with French pew
ter; table runners, decorated smocks
and other objects Of the weaver's
skill were there; and cleaning like
jewels, there were enamels with elu-
sive and tantaizing colors in intri-
cate and charming patterns.
1t was Mrs. Lillian A. Montague
who had opened the door for us. Hers
were the skilled hands which had
given form and color to the objects
of beauty smiling at Us from every
side of the room. / did not know
this Immediately. logically, / had
dit first thought that here one places
work on consignment. But Mrs.
Montague assured me modestly that
she created all the things we saw,
except an ancient little pewter meas
ing cup which had been left by a
friend.
We were invited into her studio,
and there Mrs. Montague explained
to us how her work was accomplish
ed. Mrs. Montague is zealot in her
accomplishments. Her knowledge
has been gained by lifetime of
study and experience. Her studies
have taken her to nearly every CONT
nent on the globe. Her devotion to
the work she IS now doing is that of
a priest to MS sanctuary. How she
accomplishes So much in 50 many
lines of endedvor cannot be explained
except by this devotion.
The so-called French Pewter"
mentioned previously is the survival
of an anciert craftsmanship. 1t IS
the early Greek process Of podehng
thin metals. The raw material is a
sheet of white metal resembling sill
yer. This is cut 10 the 81: e and
shape of the design desired. Then
by painstgkng and patient modelling
it is pressed and moulded into out
lines of iigdres, flowers and gar
goyles.
When he design is completed it is
pressed and SNAPPED upon the G! iect
it is to te or ITO p.reelains, vases,
boxes, eandlesticks, etc Then it IS
cemented so firmly tina, it becomes
almost an actual part of the object
it covers. A single object undergo
ing this process often consumes .
weeks time.
This process is also employed ON
wooden objects, such as trays, boxes,
etcHoutlines of designs are carved
into the wood, and then delicate strips
are pressed into the lines and made
flush with the surface of the wood.
1t is ground down and polished until
the metal seems to be painted on the
surface.
Tn enamels done by Mrs. Montague
are made by the process followed in

France in 1850 A. D., which marked
the point of highest artistic endeavoi
of workmanship. They are in two
classifcations: "Cloisonne" and
Limoges. Copper plates are used
and ground glass, mixed with various
oxides make up the enamel filings.
The "Cloisonne" process is that OF
welding onto the copper plates par
titions of silver wire to make the
outlines of the design or picture, the
compartments Of which are then filled
in with enamels. The Limoges
process involves the same use OF
enamels, but without the use of COM
partments; in this process the enamel
is applied with a brush as in painting
picture. Both processes require
firing in furnace.
/ do not profess to be technical
enough to guarantee the exactness
of my description, but suffice it that
the uninitiated (like myself) can
gather from the above the nature of
the craftsmanship. 1t is more than
painstaking, it is arduous. 1t sets
a task that only devotee can ac-
complish.
And Mrs. Montague has accom-
plished it with amazing beauty. She
is an artist who can feel justly proud
of her work. In this world of sordid
ugliness on every hand, it is crafty
ing to stumble into such place. 1t
is testimonial to the eternal love
of the beautiful, that in world of
hurlyburly confusion and hectic
scrambling, there are those like Mrs
Montague with devotion enough to
spend their lives shaping inanimate
matter into objects of great beauty.
Just now Mrs. Montague is en-
gagged in constructing a box Of
"French Pewter" which she calls
"The Crusaders" Upon its lid and
sides win be modelled the heroic fig
ures in mail and armour engaged in
the mission of the Crusaders. 1t
promises to be the best thing she has
done.
Mrs. Monague's work is compare
lively new in New Hope. She came to
the village six years ago, but it was
less than year ago that she began
to exhibit her work here. During the
interim she was engaged in teaching
craftsmanship. Some of her work
has been exhibited in Newark and
New York, and last fall at the Sole
bury Fair she was given several
awards.
Her modelling of thin metals was
learned in France where she lived
for several years. Here she is little
known, but as her work becomes
known / predict that the world will
make path to her door. Hers is a
skill that cannot be gainsaid,
If you are lover of the beautiful
go on a pilgrimage to "Ye English
Shoppe." This is tribute to the
beauty of its wares. 1t is made ur-
asked and umewarded, except for the
pleasure of commencing a skill that
produces great beauty.
