A lass very small you may see,
In raiment quite warm
Fit to shield her from storm,
Except for . chill at each knee.
She Is comely and neat
In q costume 80 sweet,
Though her stockings in brevity furl
But her Mother knows bestl
She seems half way undressed-
Poor little bare-legged grill"
The laSsie is brave.
She knows how to behave
And tries not to shiver or cough.
She viii merrily run
And pretend 1t is fun
To have the long stockings left of
In spite Of the face,
With its juvenile grace.
And the fetching effect Of O curl,
When the frost hovers nigh,
You exclaim with q sigh

ing bodies Of tennis and golf In the
United States and an entire sympathy
with their aims and ideals in attempt
ing to remove the stain Of commercial
ism from amateur athletics they have
in their dealings with big Bill' Til
den and Mary Browne, shown an aston
ishing lack Of consistency and percep-
ton as to what the great majority OF
persons believe constitutes the differ
ence between amateurism and profess
sionalism. Why. because Tilden wrote
newspaper articles dealing with tennis
should he have been declared ineli-
gible to participate in the Davis Cup
matches in France, only to have the
Tennis Association reverse itself short
time later and declare him eligible
Are those the tactics that contribute to
the morale of our players when they
are on foreign soil? Why, because Mary
Browne played professional tennis,
should she be declared q professional
golf player and be barred from COM
peting with the Simon-pure linkswon1-
en-, and now again be declared an anna
teur golfer?
Unless the athletic bodies would mar
row the field Of amateur tennis and
golf competitors to men and women Of
wealth and leisure and keep out all
those who may be just as proficient and
just as free from taints of commercial
ism their conception of amateurism
should be subjected to revision. Neither
the Tilden nor the Browne case can
be cited as especially creditable per-
formances on the part of the govern
ing bodies.

Bishop OF Washington.

practices that are designed TO keen life
fresh, buoyant and strong.
Christianity Is not simply a cult, a
system Of doctrines and dogmas, dealing
largely with the life hereafter; it Is q
sane, finely conceived set of life princi-
pies designed to enrich, stimulate and
benefit all those who consistently prac-
tice them. On one occasion Jesus said to
His disciples, Come We yourselves apart
into desert place and rest while" It
was the recognition of the need of that
kind OF refreshments that proceeds from
detachment and reflection. In the course
of His brief life, intense as was its &C
ton, he consistently withdrew Himself
to place Of seclusion and retirement in
order that He might the better fit Him
self for the supreme tasks He had in
hand. AS He prayed, the fashion of
His countenance was altered" This was
the effect produced. even in Him, whose
life Is the unapproachable example of
supreme excellence The sheer econ
omy Of q consistently and we'll lived
Christian life Is demonstrable. Entirely
apart from what 1t may represent of
belief or faith, it has q determining eff
feet upon our physical and mental we'll
being. Take prayer as an illustration of
what we have in mind. Prayer is more
than an act of reverenC recognition of
God, although 1t Is essentially that. 1t
is more than a set of petitions largely
designed for the self-interests of the
petitioner. Prayer involves relaxation,
reflection, period of quiet contempla-
ton of life's realities, or, to use Ralph
Waldo Trine's suggestive phrase, it is
putting ourselves ain tune with the IN
Unite" Definite periods set apart for
prayer - not cold, perfunctory prayer,
but real prayer-tend to ease the strain
of life and serve as lubricant to lessen
its friction. To get away from the hur-
ried, intense action of the day and to
gain q respite by few moments of seri-
our contemplation, and communion with
the Eternal Father, lubricates the tired
and overstrained machinery, saves it
from wear and lends to it increasing

In truth, when the characters and

almost silly to think that any foreign

the exact opposite may happen, as it

Mr.. Albert Gallatin-the Duke of Well

and Professionalism.

One of the strange anomalies Of the
United States Golf Associations con-
ception of amateurism has been righted
to the satisfaction Of the public and
the unfortunate victim. Three years
ago Mary K. Browne was known as one
Of the outstanding woman athletes in
the world. In amateur tennis and In
amateur golf she was one Of the top
notchers, winning the national tennis
crown in 1912, 1918 and 1914; and in
1924 reached the finals in the national
womens golf championship. There had
never arisen o question as to her ANA
teur status.
In 1927 when c. c. Pyle brought the
great Suzanne Lenglen to this country
after the French woman had announced
her entry into professional tennis ranks
he sought to find an opponent for her
Miss Browne, because Of her proves

inasmuch as she was far from being OF
independent means the offer proved
tempting enough to cause her to abandon
her amateur standing In the tennis world
Little did she realize, though, that her
action In becoming professional ten
mis- player would infringe on the Coll
Associations idea of an amateur goli
player and that with elaborate cere-
mony 1t would bar her from the links.
