plans and preparations for the
trip. and also afford ample time In
which to file the entries.
It was also decided that the
two winners In the District
championship win not be eligible
to COmpote in either the East
Potomac or Rock Creek Park
tournaments which follow. And
neither will the two winners In
the Rock Creek affair be per-
ulittod to shoot in EaSt Potomac
Parks event.
The two Journeys to be staged
at East Potomac and Rock Creek
Park should in no wise be con-
strued as park championship af-
fairs. Both Managers Leoffler and
Miller plan to hold their course
championships later in the season.
The District event will be the only
one in which titular honors are at
stake.
The question was then brought
up as to whether the National
Capital would be allowed six
entrants In the next tournament,
and q telegram was dispatched to
Secretary Cornelius s. Lee, Of the
u. 8. G. A., requesting informa-
tion as to whether Washington
would be apportioned this number.
A reply was received from Lee
in which he stated: "The public
links committee IL considering the
number Of players to be nominated
by each city for the next municipal
golf championship and due an.
nouncement will be made later"
Should the pOwers-thatbe IN the
public links committee see fit TO
permit but four entrants from
Washington It was further de-
cided that the winner and run
ner-up of the District title are to
make the trip and instead Of two
from each course. but one from
each would go.
Complete details In connection
with the tournaments will be an
nounced within the next week or
80, although the ones to be held at
East Potomac and Rock Creek will
be along the same lines as those
governing the District municipal
championship.
Details for the holding Of the be-
ginner's tournament for the Occi-
dental challenge trophy have pro-
gressed to the stage where It has
practically been decided to make the
event a handicap affair. Ted Farr.
in charge Of the West Potomac
course, believes that the handicap
system is the only logical one
under which to stage q tournament
for beginners.
Just how he would arrive at the
handicaps Of the various players
he did not explain. 1t may work
out, but there are a lot Of skeptics
who are asking, "How are you
going to handicap q player who
has seldom played the gamer"

Chapter III. 4 MOMENT later the door opened A and Don met the calm gaze or
 Ayril's amber eyes. The charm of her personality suffused the room and in suite of his impatience Dons interest was aroused He arose and courteously invited her to be seated.
 "Thank you," said Avril in delight fully soft voice as she drew off her gloves. Shall I put my case here she questioned as she pulled out siloe at the side of Don's desk
 'Yes, certainly" answered Don push ing his papers to one side. nat sort of work are you accustomed to, Miss DelanceyW
 "I make pen and ink illustrations for newspapers and wash drawings for mag azines," replied AVril lightly as she drew a number of illustrations from her case.
 Don glanced rather indifferently at her original drawings but his rather bored air changed to one of interest as his eyes rested on the girl. Have you any reproductions here:' he asked.
 'Yes," Avril answered, as she handed several to him. He looked at them crit : ically and laid them aside. Then pick ing up one in four colors his indiffer- ence vanished. Leaning forward ill hls chair he turned to Avril and said:
 This is the kind of stuff l want. It's great"
 AYril looked at the illustration he had selected and to her horror she dlscov- cred it was one of Joyce's that she had inadvertently slipped in with her own.
 "Now," said Don, all enthusiasm as he put 1t to one side, you may put your drawings away and I'll go over the proposition with you.'
 Avril wondered what was to come next and trembled at the tragic way Fate had played into her hands.
 Opening a drawer in his desk Don once more drew forth the folder that contained the rough layouts of the Eairyform ads. Now, Miss Delaney, we're in a great hurry for the first three drawings. Fairyform is some thing new in the beauty line and the makers are willing to spend lots of money to put it across quickly. It'll be a mighty big campaign and we want to land it. We're in competition with several of the biggest agencies, but know our copy is all right and If you can give us the art work we want I'm sure we'll pull it off. Of course that will mean that you'll have big order. The plan calls for great many draw ings. To tell the truth more depends on the drawings than on the copy"
 ''How exciting" said Avril softly as dancing lights from her wonderful eyes shone upon Don.
 "Yes, but one condition about this or der is that you must furnish the first three drawings within the next day oI two."
 Avrn gasped.
 II know I'm asking lot,7 said Don smiling as he looked at Avril, but per haps you can put some of your other work aside temporarily. An outline ot the campaign has to be shown to MT Brown this week.
 .Oh well," said Avril, secretly thank
