LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CAR.
TON, CONTINUED

Now sgd, am going to tell you
something which probably will sur
prise you. / have almost come to
the conclusion to tell Leslie the
whole truth about Little Jack.
For, since she has seen Paula and
quite fallen in love with her, she has
given me in some way the idea that
she would not object to the truth
about the baby. Indeed, sometimes l
i wonder if she does not have kind
of inkling of the affair but, because
of her loyalty to me, she will not even
CONFESS it to herself.
Times have changed on these ques-
tions. / remember before the war it
was thought to be an impossible thing
for a woman to care for child 0f
which she knew Ter husband was the
|father. Since then, so many women
have adopted the children that were
begotten by their husbands in France,
THAT it has become no longer anything
Sensational to talk about.
One of the reasons l am going to
do this, sgd, is because j want to set
you right in Leslie's mind. have
Railways felt like dog whenever she
Eliminates to me that you are the
Father of little Jack and that i am
trying to protect your name and so
forth.
Isn't it strange that man feels
worse about betraying another man
than he does about deceivlng his
bwn wife.
/ think 1 shall get up courage to
tell this all to Leslie. She must know
khat no man is an Angel of Light.

before / knew her, she will be more
Iapt to forgive me, will she not!
So you say that man who is travel
ing around the country with Littig
Perier is much in love with her.
Thought as much when he was here
and Leslie told me that he had been
engaged TO a friend of hers. Beatrice

" girl, and that he had recently
broken the engagement.
1t is curious thing, sgd, that
vbat charms a man in one girl. is the
thng he absolutely dislikes in another
and it also shows the fallacy of that
bid saving. that a man can only love
me girl truly, in all his life.

Fried Bananas.
Fried bananas may be served very
acceptably with beef or with fried
ham.
Fruit in Cake.
Fiuit should be well Toured and
added last TO the cake batter or it
will sink to the bottom of the loaf.
Cleans Keys.
When piano keys are yellow, rub
them with little lemon juice and
whiting. then remove this with a
damp cloth.
Cleans Windows.
Denatured alcohol cleans windows
very neatly because it evaporates rap
idly and leaves a brilliant sheen.
Keeps Lemons.
Keep lemons in glass fruit jar
with the top screwed on and they
will keep fresh for long time.
Rubber Bands.
Have a supply of rubber bands in
the drawer of your kitchen table or
in some place where you can get at
them readily as they are much more
convenient than string for fastening
small bundles.
For Children.
Children should not be given rich
desserts. Either fruit or milky Gus
tards or buildings, very lightly sweet
ened are the best choice.
Hurts Plants.
Gas heat is most injurious TO house
plants. while sunlight is the most
necessary ingredients in their lives.
ASIDE from ferns, nearly all plants
thrive best in a sunny window.

When you get the natural way Of

only'the club shaft exists between your
fingers and the actual clubhead. The
shaft. however, Should not operate as

the shaft Is to give sou more leverage
on the clubhead than you could possi-
bly, get otherwise. But in drawing
back the club you should acquire a
sense of taking back the cubhead, not
the shaft, just as you would draw back
stone or base ball in your hand.
Then you throw the clubhead not the
shaft alone, forward toward the ball,
with an underhand throw. exactly as
you would make fiat stone skip

weight transfer back with you as YOU

HELEN WILLS SHOULD
BE FASTER ON COURT
BY WALTER CAMP.

Miss Helen Wills play in the ma
tional singles is still being discussed
by tennis enthusiasts. The young
champion, in the writer's opinion. is
faster and more convincing than
when she went abroad
She still lacks sufficient strength
in the body muscles not to feel the
striding back and forth across the
court in hard rally. The general
comment on this has been-and was
following her match with Miss
Browne-that she is 7atfooted =
This is unfair. She can and does
rise upon her toes and has all the
power in the world in the muscles
of her lower legs, which enables her
to play as much as she likes on the
balls of her feet. The trouble is not
slowness of foot.
1t might better be described. in
comparison with Mile Suzanne Leng-
lep, as striding across the court
rather than sprinsing from point to
point. The French girl when at her
best seems to spring lightly like a
cat, with her body entirely under
control, whereas Miss Wills takes
TWO or three long strides toward the
sidelIne and has to make a marked
effort to stop her body from continu-
ing on when she wishes to turn and
come back
This is also true when she comes
to the net. And even at the moment
OF advancing she seems to be pre-
pairing to get back and having some
effort to do it.
There is no reason, with the
strength and power she has. why she
should not acquire muscular control
of her body which would diminish the
effort in court covering by at least
a5 per cent.

was contrary to the natural position
of the body, and thus incorrect. This
was about as sensible as trying to
walk on one foot and one hand, yet
this player might have ruined an
otherwise good game of golf with this
one violation of the principle of act
ing naturally. -
Another golfer of my acquaintance
developed hook with every tee shot.
I mentioned that he was letting his
right wrist roll over the shaft as his
club passed through. He said he
knew full well he was doing that, but
what he was trying to determine was
what the underlying fault might be
that caused him to roll this wrist
over. The fellow is the most obsti-
nate golfer on this absurd point 1
have ever encountered. He is today
still rolling his wrist over because
he cannot find the fault that causes
him to do it"
Another typical violation Of natural
exertion. OF course, the way to stop
rolling this wrist over is to stop roll
ing 1.-THE direct method. which also
is the perfectly natural method. But
here we have a player who will strug-
gle along who knows how long, max
ing two faults grow where only one
sprouted.
Just as an experiment. try this the
next time you approach the first tee:
Pick up small stone and, without
thinking anything about it, draw
back your arm and your body and
give it a throw. Then Immediately,
without thinking much about the de-
tail of it, draw back your clubhead
in the same way and give it a throw
The similarity of the two exertions
may amaze you because of their utter
simplicity. To many golfers this
simple action has been the best lesson
ever gave them.

Two flashlights were used through
out, one trained on the ball and the
other held over the putting green at

there was a black void to be played
across. The player could see the ball
and the distant beam of light which
marked his destination, but had to
call on his golf1ng intuition to know
how much power to put behind the
drive.
The only variation from standard
rules was that a lost ball could be re-
