What angle face should the
mashie have?
BY WILLIE OGG
New England Professional and
Massachusetts Open Champion

While there are mashies made
with varying lofts and wide de-
gree of face angles. the average golf
err will find the one with loft OF
30 degrees best suited to his game.
This will supply enough angle to get
the ball into the air well, without
sacrificing direction or distance.
Where there is too much of an angle
to the mashie face there is apt to be
too great loft to the ball, with a
lack of distance where it is needed.
The 35 degree angle gives both loft
and distancef

 The men handed their guns 10 their loadcrs - all but Frank Glenis'er, d siXteen-ycar-old Eton hoy who was so proud of his new weapon that he refused 10 part with it, laying 1t on the ground be- side him and slyly choosing the end seat for that purpose. Sir Dudley sat at the head of the table, with tho plethoric dowager on his right, the others ranging themselves casually, all but a tall soldierly young man who was at pains 10 maneuver himself into the chair next Kathleen GIeuistrr.

And Lady Mar rabies. as Kathleen's guardian, be- ing indispensable, the young officer had been included in the small house party. Sir Dudley was far too much a man of the world to be rude 10 guest whom he had req son 10 believe was his rival in love. He had indeed been extra civil to him, allotting 10 him the best stands" at the shoot and treating he was not. Lady Marrables was sister of the late Sir Philip Glenis- ter, George and Kathleen's father, and Norman Slater was a son of one of her deceased husbands sis ters.
 Another male guest staying in the house was the silent, rumina- tive man with a sharp, hatchet-like face and cavernous eyes, who in an evident fit of abstraction sat down on the other side of Kathleen. Doc tor Willoughby Melville, the nerve specialist from Harley street, owed his invitation to professional serv- ices rendered to his host some years before the latter's succession 10 the baronetcy. Dudley Glenister, then a feverish operator in the "Kaffir Cir cus," had badly broken down after week of wild speculation, and was now paying social debt to the great physician who had healed him.
 The only remaining man" of the house party was Frank Glenlster, the Eton boy who would not be separated from his gun. He, also, was of the younger branch lately brought to the front by the hand of Death. As the son of a brother of Dudley killed in an Indian from tier skrmish he was heir presump- tive 10 the title and estates. Since he was an engaging youngster, and Dudley intended 10 provide Q more l direct heir, the new baronet made much of him without any appre- | hensive jealousy.
 The rest of the guns who gath cred round the table in the glade were gentlemen from nelghboring houses, brick-faced squires, sport ing parson and one other. That ex- ception was the exception who did not fall exactly into either cate gory. The Right Honorable stephen Cone, as the owner of Colnbrook Towers, might have been deemed a squire, but he was certainly not brick faced. His well-bred intel lectual countenance was of an al.
