hours each week. This would mean
an hour for each of the five days.
An hour flies past when you're play
ing tennis. You can hardly realize
that it Is over. but it usually is
enough for two sets, unless they are
long or closely contested. After an
hour you are not tired and you are
keen to go on. This Is just the time
to stop.

end of the week l am tired and do

/ did at the first of the week. Young
people, with school and other activ-

Anything overdone ceases to be a
pleasure and tennis, above all, does

are some strokes which are more
