The tendency with the average
golfer in iron play is to stand too
far away from the ball and thus
pull" his shot. This allows too
much scope for the elbows; in other
words, the elbows are not kept close
should lie kept close to the body-not
strained, but SO as to give COM
pact feeling. A straight left arm
throughout the stroke and firm wrists
will greatly assist in keeping the
ball straight. Too loose wrist action
is very often the cause OF pulling"

TUNELESS LIVES
By F. II. WALKER

OUR weak human hearts are prone
~ to beat out of tune at the flash
of an eye or the snarl of an unexs
hected angry word.
When our moods and lenses are
wrong we lack the divine power to
make music for ourselves and others,
perhaps those who are very near and
dear to us.
We fail to strike the responsive
strings that fill life with beauty and
love, the reason being that we are
deficient of these exalted things our
selves.
We cannot hope to find grapes on
bayperry trees, yet we are often years
in learrNy the basic principles y
this littiI IIfact which has so much
do witi1 lur destiny, and even thel
we do quite understand it unit
we havkSeen rudely shaken from ouIX
stubboJ opinions and had the scales
torn ff,n our half-blind eyes.
1t fRiuently happens that the moreN
learnd we imagine we are, the more
difficult do we find it to take up
our lie and play ourselves into good
hum{ and if by chance we play when
the lEs are sultry and we are filled
will fare, we fall naturally into pro-
duciFs disquieting notes to the annoy.
ancf of our intimates.
We cannot make ourselves agree.
abb We sally forth with a chip
uItn our shoulder and dare any one
togknock it off.
tkhen we find that no one inclines
tE accept our challenge, we become
n thoroughly abashed that we pack
ID our lutte, if by this time we have
ne, and seek the solacing solitude
If the hills.
SO we call up our courage, and
with the experience we have had in
a very small field we start off again
In pursuit of the sweetness in the
world we have so long overlooked.
And when we get it we shall pass
it out with liberal hand to all we
meet.
From the birth of this resolution
our horizon widens and brightens. for
have we not reached out and become
part of the sphere?
We have put forth our hands to
the sky and caught some grand
periods of music intended for mans
comfort and content, of which he
takes too small account for his own
good and the good Of his fireside.

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
JANE FOOT

THE second Sunday in December
- was the day that Jane Foot regu-
larly made out her Christmas list. she
was a very busy woman and the sys-
TEN she had worked out years before
of disposing of Christmas shopping
pleased her efficient soul nightly.
She did NOT have to make out "A new
list more than once in several years.
The paper before her she had written
five Christmases ago. She had simply
revised it from time to time by taking
off or adding new names. This year
several of the names had blue pencil
crosses after them.
Each year Jane went to a certain
wholesale house and bought in large
quantity some one article. She found
that it was really not difficult to find
something impersonal that was more
or less appropriate for all her list
This Christmas she had bought paper
weights. Each paper weight came
done up already in a paste-bOard box.
Jane had only to slip in card, and
do up the package in white paper and

while she congratulated herself on the
intelligence with which she had re-
duced Christmas giving to minimum
of effort, thought, time and expense.
Jane always counted on Cousin The
ophilus for her Christmas dinner. She
made no effort to see her cousin or his
wife during the year, to be sure, and
| she made no pretense of caring any
thing about them-but they had al
ways provided her with cranberry
and turkey; she had come to take
| Christmas dinner with them for grant
ed So far this year no invitation had
come to her.

and chill on the arrival of the post
man, she found that she would have
several new names on her list to blue
