The one great argument that critics
nearly always bring up is the fact that
Helen hits with such burning speed of
the ground. They point 10 the fact
that Lenglen hardly ever used any great
amount of speed in conquering her
court rivals.

that Suzanne had such marvellous con-

no need for her to use up energy In

HELEN WILLS STARTS

NEW YORK, August 27.-After five
months Of almost continuous tennis.
Helen Wills, Berkeleys queen Of the
courts, Is going home.
Miss Wills, who has Just completed
the second successive season In which
she captured the American, French and
English singles championships. is leav-

AS for competition, Miss Wills has
only one definite tennis engagement In
sight. She will participate with other
Californians in team matches with the
English Wightman Cup players at San
Francisco. She also may enter the
Southwest tournament at Los Angeles,
although she hasn't definitely decided
as to that.
Her absence from the national mixed
doubles at Brookline this week was
caused not so much because she feels
that she is oyertennised. but because
she wants to get home. she said.
The date OF her coming marriage still
is undecided.
I'm not ready to say anything about
that yet" she said when asked whether
her marriage would take place within

Don't Eat Too Little
During Warm Weather

Whether one wills or no menus must
change somewhat with the changing
season. Certain vegetables and fruits
are unavailable at one season that are
plentiful and delicious at another
Spring chickens, fresh oysters, sausage,
turkeys and countless other foods have
their seasons, varying somewhat in diff
ferent sections of the country.
There are other changes based on
pretudice-usually well grounded
against eating certain foods in warm
weather. Certain heavy cereals such as
oatmeal are not so appropriate for
warm mornings as for cold ones. Most
housewives are prejudiced against pork
in hot weather, and rich fried foods
such as griddle cakes are more appro-
pirate for Winter than Summer.
Some housewives. however. make
too great changes in their bill of fare
in warm weather. There Is a prevalent
idea that less fat is needed in warm
months than In cold months, and this
is not without foundation. Eskimos eat
an amount Of fat blubber that would be
most repulSive to people dwelling in
temperate or warm climates Fats sup
ply fuel needed to withstand intense
cold. But strange as 1t may seem, our
bodies need fuel to make them able to

Tests for Furniture

Simplicity. beauty, comfort, utility
fitness for purpose.
These five qualities have been spoken
of as the essentials sought by the
makers of modern furniture and house
hold decorations. Much of the So
called period furniture appeals as being
beautiful, some of it is also simple But
often the quality of comfort is lacking
and sometimes the purpose of utility
is but badly served.
Sometimes old-time furniture that
had perfect fitness for the purpose for
which 1t was intended is decidedly lack
ing in fitness for any purpose IN the
modern scheme of things. This might
be said of enormous four-poster beds
which were constructed as they were
because in draughty old-time houses
bed hangingS were considered essential
but which frequently prove awkward,
and certainly serve no purpose in the
modern cottage apartment that could
not just as well be served by a bed
without high posts and connecting bars
for hangings.
II one IS planning to furnish any
rooms in the modern manner this three
fold test should be borne in mind. There
are many pieces that must be discarded
at once because they do not strike one
as possessing beauty, and with respect
to this quality the buyers must be the

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

If one can believe a group OF mothers
intent on uncovering their individual
problems one may derive what solace
there is in the apparent fact that at
some time or another all children do
tell lies 1t isn't difficult to see why
this is if one will squelch emotions and
look at causes.
The small child has little experience
He has even less knowledge. He does
not know reality and he twists it as
he. wishes. No one is more shocked
than he when We say violently: You
are telling mother a lie!" OF course
he isn't. He is making a misstatement
of facts as we see them. He needs a
better knowledge of facts and present
knowledge that we understand. There
is a difference between the things he
makes up in his head and things we
know to be real. His imagination need
not be stif1ed in order TO teach him
this; it needs direction
The lying which most distresses the
mother is termed by her mean" The
child deliberately disobeys, then. to
cover up his act, he lies about it. This
type of lie infuriates the mother. 1t
is definite thing to her. an act COM
pounded of disobedience and deceit. 1t
adds insult to injury and she feels
helpless. The child needs two punish
ments, and connecting one is about all
most mothers seem equal to.
But let us go back of the lying. 1t
arose, let us say, from the fact that
William had been told he must come
home from school Immediately. and
when he didn't he gave as an excuse
that the teacher had sent him on an
errand.
y william had been given one or
more days in the week IN which he
could play after school he would have
satisfied his social sense. felt that he
was a free being. and failed to resent
his mothers domination. 1t is unlikely
that he would have been so unfair as
10 stay away on other days and then
be driven to lying to conceal his DISC
bedience. Isn't the mother at fault
when she makes such situation pos
sible?
Then there is the familiar situation
of the small child taking money from
his mothers pocketbook. Discovered

trembling,y or boldly: mo, I didn't
s3eif-protection is strong in all of us,
and that tone of his mothers drives
him to protect himself.
Again we may look behind the act
and discover its cause. The child has
not had an education from early baby
hood to respect the property of others.
He has had no allowance that was his
each week. Parents are always looking
too far in the future for the RICH;
time to give a child money. the right
time being when he is old enough to
spend it. With no allowance he is
driven to take money. Or he has no
sense of the value of money and ne
takes it with exactly the same readiness
with which he goes into the pantry for
cookies. Money is just another OF the
household possessions. He might not
deny it if the mother said quietly: Did
YOU take some pennies from my pocket
b1ok?" But If she pounces upon him

always wear shoes of the sart that
actually belong to that sort of sport.
Real golf shoes, not just ordinary walk
ing shoes, should be our choice on the
golf links; real tennis shoes and not
just any sort of low-heeled sports
shoe when We play tennis. To the
modern woman the fact that these
shoes chosen for active sports are
neither dainty nor flattering does not
stand in their way. What If the shoes
you wear for golf in the morning do
You know that the slippers you will
wear this evening will make your feet

The fat broad-heeled sports shoe
suitable for active sports when made
of buckSkin or fine canvas with calf
skin, alligator or other substantial
leather saddle-or heel and toe trim
mings-iS chosen for so-called semi
sports or spectator sports wear by some
women, but the more acceptable type
of spectator sports shoe this season
is made with somewhat higher heel
Several examples of this sort of shoe
are pump of white buckskin trimmed
with tan calf and made with a me-
dunn height leather heel-an oxford of
white elkskin trimmed with brown al

ford and beige suede and brown leath-
er oxford. Many of these shoes with
medium height heels may be chosen
for street wear when the ensemble is
of semi-sports sort.
A distinct line is drawn, or at least
ought to be drawn, between shoes for
town wear and those for resort or
country wear. And if you are at all
interested in good form in dressing
you should not wear colorful shoes
about town in the city. The high
heeled pump of yellow linen. and brown
kid, charming with certain types of
Summer frocks, would be most map
propriate with any ensemble in town
So too the strap pump of checked linen
with bag to match-Should be reserved
for resort wear.
Afternoon shoes for Summer-ap-
propriate in town or out-may be of
the pump sort or strapped slippers or
oXfords. Usually fairly high heels are
chosen. A gray suede pump with a
small cut-steel buckle. with sheer gray
or flesh colored stockings, is a charm
ing complement to a dress of gray geor-
gette.

Ways of Serving Spring Fruits

American guests, scours the fruit mar
kets to get grapefruit, SO convinced is
she that this fruit is necessary first
course to every American breakfast
The American likes to have his orange
cut in two crosswise. The skin should
be loosened from the pulp before it is
served so that with the aid of pointed
orange spoon it can be eaten quite
easily. Even more important is 1t to
loosen the pulp in the grapefruit befo:~
offering it at table.
Not only do we like to have our fruit
served In convenient form-we also like
to have it appear in as attractive guise
as possible, and there is an ever increas-
ing variety Of attractive fruit dishes in
the stores for US to choose to serve
1t in.

to the question. Not always certain as
to what shoe should be worn with GER
tain types of clothes they seek advice
from good authority-and make mental
note of the sort of shoes that women
of good taste wear on various occasions.
Buying shoes is with them serious
business, one that requires patience and
judgment on their part as well as on
the part of the shoe dealer. I.E
In France well dressed women OF
wneans have their shoes made to order

this procedure complexities the matter

Fashion demands this season an I'M
